Piksel expands Malaga operation

Online video platform provider Piksel is expanding its operations in Malaga in Spain, bringing its headcount in the city up to 55 and increasing its office space by 30%.

The Malaga office which opened in 2010 and is primarily focused on supporting Piksel’s micro-services architecture (MSA) philosophy that underpins its flagship Piksel Palette product.

According to Piksel, Malaga is well positioned to support the company’s growth , with a talent pool of skilled English-speaking software developers, as easy access to the rest of Europe, and a central time zone shared by many of its key customers.

The company recently set up a machine learning and artificial intelligence team in the Spanish city under Mauricio Farache, a Piksel senior technical architect.

Piksel said that its investment in Malaga is part of a wider European expansion following the appointment of former Channel 5 executive Clive Malcher as VP of market development, EMEA.

Allan Dunn, Piksel’s COO, said: “Our Spanish operation is staffed with incredibly talented technical architects, software developers, QA specialists, and project managers, whom play a key role in supporting the continuing development of the Piksel Palette and client projects using a DevOps approach.”
