Octopus Deploy is one of Australia’s fastest-growing software companies (and we’re taking on the world). After bootstrapping for a decade, in 2021, we quietly raised Australia's second-largest ever venture capital raise, accepting a USD 172M minority investment from Insight Partners.

If you have a commitment to excellence, a desire to delight customers, and want to be a member of a fast-growing team, you'll love this position.

This is a remote role based in Australia or New Zealand.

Salary range: $150,000 - $170,000 plus stock options

A typical day might include

  • Build an understanding of our customers across a range of industries and technologies stacks.
  • Manage the direction and plan for your product area: learning from a wide range of inputs, distilling where opportunities exist, then prioritising work that delivers a positive impact.
  • Explore the next wave of opportunities with customers around the world - you will have flexibility and input into the timing of when those conversations happen.
  • Collaborate with your team in thinking big, unifying the technical vision, customer needs and business goals to find solutions to these problems.
  • Scope these solutions to their smallest coherent state to ship to customers as early as you can.
  • Evaluate the impact of solutions you shipped through quantitative and qualitative measures, and iterate on the learning with your team.
  • Inspire and excite the team to do the best work of their careers through stories of the purpose and impact of their work.

We are looking for someone like you who:

  • Has multiple years of experience working on a business-critical B2B software product 
  • Understands and discusses architectural concepts with technical team members to balance feasibility, customer impact and business viability
  • Focuses on outcomes first with examples of how you incorporate learning and feedback into strategies and experiences
  • Can guide discussions with customers to uncover opportunities
  • Has a highly collaborative approach and creates alignment within the organization across executives, decision-makers, and influencers
  • Represents your product, always looking for opportunities to improve engagement and support customer success
  • Has worked closely with marketing, sales, or customer success teams to identify and prioritize changes that will unblock product adoption
  • Experience with one or more of the following:
  • Leading technical scaling initiatives: uplifting scalability, reliability, or performance of a product, or
  • Leading a major product re-architecture

Why Is This A Great Opportunity?

  • We offer great benefits, including generous laptop and home office allowances, plus stock options!
  • 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 like adults, 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!
  • Also when it comes to inclusivity, we mean it, check out our handbook!
  • If you’d like to work at Octopus, reach out and say hello!
