Please note that due to us approaching the Christmas & New Year break, we have many people among the hiring teams who are on annual leave or will be absent due to the studio closing over the holiday period.
This means that, in most cases, applications made during December are unlikely to proceed to interview until January 2025. We appreciate your patience during this time.

Collaboration is at the heart of Jagex. We love getting together with our teams to share ideas and socialise.

If you live in the UK, we offer a flexible working model that empowers you to work in the way that suits you best, while also getting the best from your working relationship with all the great people you’ll be connecting with here. We support you to be set up for success no matter where you log in.

Flexibility really is the key to how we set up working schedules, we’ll discuss your needs with you and be transparent about the working schedules of the team you’ll be working with during our interview process.
