We’re in the middle of a significant transformation - moving more and more of our infrastructure into the cloud - and we need someone who can lead in the AWS space, drive that programme forward, and mentor the team as we go.\nThis is hands-on, production-critical work across a wide remit: data centres, Linux, networking, cloud and everything in between.

Above all, we’re looking for someone who is genuinely curious and open to learning across a wide and evolving remit.\nWhat we offer:\nWhen you join Jagex you can look forward to a generous Perks & Benefits package including:\nPrivate Healthcare, including Dental Plan.\nDiscretionary annual performance bonus.\nMinimum 6% Pension contributions.\nLife Insurance.\nEnhanced family leave policies from day 1.\nFlexible working hours.\n25 days annual leave + Bank holidays & the option to buy/sell holidays + so much more! \nAbout Jagex\nWe are Jagex: The RuneScape Company.
