Over 4,000 organizations globally –  including Ubisoft, ASOS, Xero, 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.

    • Being the customer’s voice in internal product planning and feature prioritization discussions.

    • Are proficient in German and English (writing, speaking, and reading) with the ability to create technical documentation, runbooks, and customer-facing materials.
    • Demonstrate experience with Octopus Deploy or similar deployment automation tools.
    • Hold certifications in Kubernetes (CKA, CKAD) or cloud platforms are ideal.
    • Have a background in software development or system administration is a bonus.
    • Can show hands-on Kubernetes experience with the ability to troubleshoot deployments, configure networking, and advise on security best practices.
    • Can prove experience with GitOps implementation experience using tools like Codefresh, ArgoCD, Flux, or similar, with a track record of helping teams adopt these practices successfully.
    • Demonstrate problem-solving skills where you've diagnosed complex technical issues and guided customers to resolution.
    • Prefer a self-directed work style with proven ability to manage multiple customer relationships simultaneously while maintaining high service standards.
    • Exhibit a continuous learning mindset with examples of how you stay current with rapidly evolving DevOps tooling and practices.
