United Kingdom Jobs

Imagine this – it’s Monday morning. You’re working from the office today and you have a smile on your face as you leave your home for the trip into work. You know that when you arrive, you’ll be spending the day tinkering with the latest in technology software, security, production kit, and computers. You’ll be sharing a beverage of your choice with team mates who are excited to tell you about a client launch that’s about to happen or a workshop that will be hosted later in the week. You love these conversations because you’re aware that you’ll be part of these events during the week. Whether it’s ensuring the workshop set up has all the remote facilities it needs or reinforcing some of our technology infrastructure for an upcoming launch – you feel connected in the team.

This is a highlight of what life is like as an Augie, and particularly what life could be like for you if you become our Internal Systems Administrator. We have done a lot of work over the last few years to establish a strong foundation in latest hardware, a standard operating system, and delighting our clients with technology that is seamless. If you’re someone who is always looking for ways to make this area of a business better, more effective, maybe even more automated…and you’d like to do that within a team that values belonging, effort, and play, then we’d love to hear from you.

What you will get

Working at August is not just another agency job. While we take our work seriously, we really enjoy the company of the people we work with and we don’t take ourselves too seriously. It takes time to find the right people to join our team. There’s a level of trust and flexibility that is hard to describe, but here goes nothing. You’ll enjoy the freedom to create and contribute to sophisticated projects the way you want, combined with a robustness of process that ensures you have total support to focus all your energy and inspiration on compelling design and technical challenges. If you’d like more detail, we’d love you to ask us about it!

As a team member, you’ll continue to develop not just your technical craft, but other valuable qualities such as powerful communication skills, commercial and business nous, and handy insights into totally random stuff, like a quick and easy killer dumpling recipe, or the engineering magic behind the latest SpaceX test flight (again, you might want to ask us!). When we hire someone to join the team, we’re interested and invested in all the different parts that make up you – because ultimately, that’s what makes August.

As a team member, you can also expect:
