Senior TechOps Generalist

Seen this advert before? That is because we are continuing to grow! We are very excited to be growing our small and efficient TechOps team at Octopus. We aren't looking for standard IT support - we are looking for an ambitious, deeply knowledgeable and experienced TechOps Generalist to join our team, to grow with the rest of the company, and ensure we are doing so in a secure and safe way. You will be a key partner in defining what TechOps is at Octopus. We will be continuing to shape this team to provide world class support to our employees, building our way out of problems with engineering firepower and undertaking transformational organisational change. We don't just "fix" things - we automate them out of existence. For us, a Generalist isn’t about knowing a little of everything, it’s a multi-disciplinary role for someone who’s deeply experienced in many facets of Enterprise IT. Think multi-domain specialist - not Jack of all trades. What is TechOps? A more modern, more lean version of a traditional enterprise IT team. We cover everything from what most people would call “1st line support” all the way up to high-level strategic planning, and everything in between. We focus on advising rather than enforcing, and give people the autonomy to work with technology to solve their problems in the way that works best for them. We’re an autonomous team who look after a wide range of technology across the business. We empower teams to do the best work they can whilst keeping things running efficiently in the background. We tackle big problems and the breadth of work is huge. Dealing with ambiguity is a key part of working in TechOps, and every day will be a new and exciting one, working on varying challenges across the company. We have a cloud-first approach to everything we do. This allows us to scale quickly and focus on things where we can add the most value. No on-prem AD here!
