At Octopus, we’re entrepreneurs and we’re investors, on a mission to back the people, ideas and industries that will change the world.
We think working here is great, but we’re understandably biased. Click here to explore Life at Octopus.
What’s in it for you?
Currently responsible for 60 + different items of technology, there is a huge variety in a role as Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at Octopus. We’re constantly critiquing our current tech and looking to enhance and upgrade where appropriate. Every day is different and there are many projects in flight across other parts of the business which require our input and support.
Starting as a Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, your focus would be getting to grips with our current tech, supporting a wide range of teams and stakeholders, some of which are in Australia! Over time you may grow into a Senior Engineer, with an increasing project workload. Lots of options in an experienced team that will support your career journey and aspirations! At the same time, we want to be clear that this is not a DevOps Engineer opportunity – that is a separate team at Octopus.
The team:
Part of a wider, agile Technology function, the infrastructure team is a fun and passionate group of five highly dedicated, skilled engineers. This is an experienced team that invests in cross-training and learning together. The goal is to continuously maintain & improve Octopus’ IT solutions, systems and infrastructure (both cloud and on-premises).
What will you be doing?
Ideally, you’ll have
✅ Previous Cloud & On-Premises Infrastructure Support experience in an Enterprise environment, including knowledge of virtualization and associated technologies
✅ In-depth knowledge of Azure (Express Route, vWAN, HUB, vNet, NSG’s, IaaS, PaaS, IAM)
✅ In-depth knowledge of Windows Server, Windows Active Directory, Azure Active Directory, DHCP, DNS, Group Policy
✅Good understanding of Exchange & M365 hybrid environments
✅ Basic SQL DBA experience would be advantageous
✅ BigFix patch management software experience would be a nice to have
We encourage you to apply even if you don’t tick every box. What’s the worst that can happen?
This role will evolve as we grow and develop. So, if you are looking for a challenge in a fast-paced and dynamic business, we can deliver on that.

Our Values
At our core, we believe that how a company behaves is just as important as what it does. That’s why we chose to become an accredited B Corp (the equivalent of a Fairtrade coffee stamp but for companies) and to change our Articles of Association so that the interests all our stakeholders – employees, customers, communities, environment and shareholders – are considered in every decision we make.
We’re committed to creating a diverse and inclusive employee experience for all. We promote equal opportunities for growth and development regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or socio-economic background. We believe strongly that teams are at their best when every member of the team feels safe to bring their whole self to work.
