Job Details

Octopus Deploy sets the standard for Continuous Delivery, empowering software teams to deliver value in an agile way. Over 4,000 organizations globally – including Ubisoft, ASOS, Xero, monday.com, Stack Overflow, NASA, and Disney – rely on our Continuous Delivery, GitOps, and release orchestration solutions.

Founded in Australia in 2012, our team of over 300 Octonauts now spans the globe. We combine high growth and big ambitions with a sustainable, balanced working environment. Our revenue has grown consistently between 30–50% every year for the past 8 years, and we’ve been profitable for 10 out of the past 11 years.

We’ve been remote-first since 2015 and work with an uncommon level of transparency. You can read our public handbook to learn how we work. We have a transparent approach to compensation that ensures people doing the same work with the same skill get paid the same, with well-defined career pathways. We foster a supportive, collaborative, and high-trust environment. We leave our job titles at the door and focus on doing what’s best for our customers and team. Our leaders never shy away from answering the tough questions at our all-hands calls or in 1:1s. We conduct interviews and onboarding virtually as part of being a remote-first company.

Do you like what you've read and heard about us?

Think you share our values?

If none of the roles on this page seem quite right, but you think you can bring something unique that might help in our journey, we’d love to hear from you.

Please send us your CV and a cover letter describing how you could add value to our business.

Why Is This A Great Opportunity?

We offer great benefits, including generous laptop and home office allowances, plus stock options!
Annual leave of 25 x days.
Parents receive 12 weeks of fully Paid Parental Leave.
We value transparency and fairness in every aspect of our business. For example, Paul (our CEO) shares monthly updates on company performance, and our pay structures are designed to pass the ‘printer test’.
Trust and autonomy. Octonauts are treated with respect, and are trusted to find the best way of working for the task at hand, without managers looking over their shoulder.
You’ll be joining a high-growth company with numerous opportunities to learn and advance your career.
Remote first: work from wherever you feel most productive.
We are a supportive company where everyone’s contribution is valued.
We respect and encourage work/life balance.

Equal Opportunity

We’ve built an inclusive workplace culture and understand the true importance of culture-add, versus culture-fit.
From day 1, you'll have a buddy helping you get your bearings. You can book in coffee chats with anyone in the company. We encourage everyone to have a voice in all aspects of the product and the business. So much so that we have an open chat policy (all channels are public by default) and everyone is welcome!
If you need assistance or accommodation during the application process because of disability, please let us know and we’ll try our best to accommodate.
Also when it comes to inclusivity, we mean it, check out our handbook!
