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, Cake is continuing to expand our Southbank London team, and we want some experienced Scala Engineers to compliment the team we already have there! We are currently at a team of 4, with another Senior Scala Engineer on route, and we’d love to get that closer to 10 by the end of this year.
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).
