Octopus Deploy is one of Australia’s fastest-growing and most successful software companies. Today we help over 150,000 people worldwide deliver working software to production. As a technical content creator, you’ll help our customers understand where Octopus Deploy fits into their CI/CD pipeline and help them understand the benefits of using Octopus Deploy. You’ll be part of the Content Marketing team, and you’ll focus primarily on creating content for the company blog to demonstrate Octopus’s deep domain expertise. We're looking for people with strong writing skills with technical backgrounds, who understand the importance of paying attention to detail, are eager to learn and share their skills and expertise. This isn’t a typical marketing role, we’re looking for somebody who can help articulate the problems Octopus Deploy solves for our customers. We’re not looking for the latest marketing tips and tricks to hijack people’s attention, instead, we want to serve our users with genuinely useful content.

A typical day could involve:

  • Creating end-to-end guides that solve specific CI/CD problems.
  • Writing blog posts to demo specific integrations.
  • Learning and testing the features of Octopus Deploy and other CI/CD tools.
  • Meeting with teams across Octopus to understand customer pain points.
  • Publishing and optimising content for distribution.
  • Building an understanding of Octopus’s customers, the technology stacks they use, and the problems Octopus solves for them.

You’ll be a great fit for this role if:

  • You’re a strong writer and can share examples of your writing.
  • You’re familiar with DevOps automation and CI/CD pipelines.
  • You’ve worked as a developer and are drawn to content creation.
  • You’ve worked as a technical writer and enjoy the technical side of the role.
  • You’re curious, like solving problems and enjoy exploring the details.
  • You like a balance of freedom and responsibility and being treated as an adult.
  • You’re comfortable working as part of a remote-first team.

What’s in it for you:

  • You’ll work from wherever you feel most productive. That could be your home, our office, or a combination of both
  • Generous laptop and home office allowance
  • Career growth as we are expanding rapidly
  • Monday to Friday hours
  • A supportive team, in a great company

How to apply:

  • Include samples of your writing with a preference for quality over quantity (no more than a few thousand words).
  • Include a cover letter.
  • Submit your resume.
