DevOps Engineer at Cake Solutions - A BAMTECH Media Company (Stockport District, UK)

Since Cake’s inception, we’ve been a Project Delivery Consultancy that has specialised in building highly distributed, reactive systems for clients looking to use the most cutting-edge technology, and we’ve done a good job of it. Over the past 3 months, Cake has been going through its largest transformation yet, and we’re ecstatic to announce that we’re a member of the BAMTECH Media family, who are the leader in delivering direct-to-consumer live and on-demand entertainment at scale. Wanna know what makes this even more interesting? BAMTECH are now a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, meaning we’ll be working on the OTT streaming platforms that Disney are launching in 2018 and 2019. Pretty impressive right!

As a result, we are looking to hire a number of experienced/ senior DevOps across 2017 and 2018 to join our mature, DevOps culture, here at Cake HQ which is in Stockport, just outside of Manchester.

More about Cake?

Community is a huge part of the culture at Cake, which is why we regularly attend and host local meetups, as well as sponsor the best known Scala and Reactive events like Scala Days, Reactive Summit and Scala World. If you’re ever at one of this events then we’ve also got great coffee and free swag to give away! We’re also a group of active bloggers and publishers, with new posts released weekly, and e-Books from our CEO Guy and CTO Jan ready to download (free of course). We’re also planning on expanding our presence within the DevOps community, as our Manchester Docker meetup already has a strong following, and this year we’ve been to Dockercon which was a great experience for the team.
