Many of the hires will be placed at Skype’s new offices in Palo Alto, a spokesperson told Mashable. The company is looking “to add super star engineers to our already super talented team” at that office, she added.
The company recently acquired video-calling service Qik for a rumored $100 million. Pocket change. Skype has also rolled out a number of new services as of late, including video calling on Apple mobile devices, for you iPhone 4 users.
It makes sense that the company will need additional engineering talent. Skype is becoming a household brand. My grandmom used it this past Thanksgiving to connect with her family down south. I was at a gathering Saturday and we used it to connect with one of the group members who couldn't make it out due to adverse weather conditions.
Currently, 85 openings are listed on Skype’s careers page.
