Apparently Microsoft is in the market for a UI Designer and prototype maker to work in conjunction with its Skype division based in the UK to develop projects featuring Skype for the Xbox 720 and the Xbox 360 with the main office based in Redmond.



Microsoft bought Skype in May 2011 for a reported 5 billion pounds. Microsoft plans to fully integrate Skype with the full gambit of Microsoft products such as Lync, Outlook and Xbox Live.



I’m assuming that gamers and social media chatters will be able to connect to Skype through their large plasma screens and Xbox 720 to chat and hold phone calls. I would also like to know whether or not gamers will be able to play multi-player games with their Skype contacts or reach out to other members on the Skype network. What will also be interesting is if any additional fees and charges will be incurred for this.
