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, 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 20–50% every year for the past 9 years, and we’ve been profitable for 10 out of the past 12 years. Octopus now provides the industry's most comprehensive Continuous Delivery solution for organizations operating at scale.
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.
About the role:
If you're an engineer who has a passion for helping teams succeed, this role was written for you. You'll bring deep knowledge of Kubernetes and GitOps to some of the world's most complex deployment environments, working as a trusted partner to the engineers and leaders who rely on Octopus every day.
As a Technical Account Manager at Octopus, you'll turn that expertise into real outcomes at the enterprise level: a blend of technical problem-solving and long-term customer advocacy. One day, you might deliver a workshop on GitOps best practices, the next, help a Platform Engineer tweak a Helm chart for one of their teams, and then move on to advising the best implementation to scale their Argo applications across regions.
To help our teams work together effectively, this remote position requires you to be located and authorized to work within the UK.

- Build real relationships with engineering teams, from DevOps to CTO level.
- Spot opportunities to deepen Octopus adoption, and champion customer needs internally.
Technical work
- Guide customers through Kubernetes and GitOps architecture decisions.
- Run technical health checks, lead workshops, and troubleshoot complex deployment issues.
- Work with our OSS team on Argo best practices and improvements.
Strategic Partnership
- Connect technical recommendations to customer business goals.
- Work with sales on expansions and renewals.
- Be the customer’s voice in product planning.
Your background:
- Hands-on Kubernetes experience with the ability to troubleshoot deployments, configure networking, and advise on security best practices.
- Proven GitOps implementation experience using tools like ArgoCD, Flux, or similar, with a track record of helping teams adopt these practices successfully.
- Experience with Octopus Deploy or similar deployment automation tools.
- Certifications in Kubernetes (CKA, CKAD) or cloud platforms are ideal.
- 2+ years in a technical customer-facing role such as Technical Account Management, Solutions Engineering, or Customer Success Engineering.
- Background in software development or system administration is a bonus.
- Demonstrable problem-solving skills where you've diagnosed complex technical issues and guided customers to resolution.
- Excellent written and verbal communication with the ability to create technical documentation, runbooks, and customer-facing materials.
- Self-directed work style with proven ability to manage multiple customer relationships simultaneously while maintaining high service standards.
- Continuous learning mindset with examples of how you stay current with rapidly evolving DevOps tooling and practices.
