European manager of Cloud Media engineering (M/F)

LOCATION: London, United Kingdom, 200 Gray’s Inn Road, London WC1X 8XZ

Context

Within Globecast, the Global Engineering Direction is responsible for anticipating, designing and deploying technical solutions for customers and employees of the Globecast group, worldwide.

It is organized around centers of expertise (Cloud Media Services, Networks IT & Security, and Infrastructures) and transversal centers (Projects & Integration, Project Management Office).

The Cloud Media Services department consists of around forty employees, in France and the UK, spread across the teams:

• Content Management & Integration

Cloud Media brings together so-called “linear” activities: video acquisition (contribution, ingest), processing (encoding, transcoding, and packaging), delivery (distribution, OTT), management of the CloudMediaHub, orchestration on the perimeter, on cloud or on-premises solutions.

The Cloud Event Media team manages live sport events and an integrated ad-hoc/permanent team in the UK.

Content Management & Integration handles “non-linear” content management activities, as well as the integration of SaaS solutions from media partners.

The international dimension of the team is intended to extend to the rest of Europe and global teams.

Working at Globecast means having the opportunity to address a rapidly evolving market, with strong technological developments, and being close to Globecast’s business customers. In this context, Globecast is transforming itself to better support its customers.
