Biodiversity is a buzzword right now.

 

It’s an area that needs aggressive support today, not tomorrow, all over the world. Nature is incredible at adapting to whatever is thrown at it, but there’s a line which we’re close to crossing.

 

Building roads, mines, railways and other infrastructure will always impact biodiversity and for the most part the UK has high standards here.

 

That’s not the case for every country in the world.

 

Governments are scrambling to understand how valuable nature is and how their infrastructure and economic plans impact our planet. Questioning whether a forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig or palm-oil plantation? How do you even track that?

 

Cue this organisation, the only one of their kind in the world. They build tools and offer services and support to conservation partners, companies and governments around the world to better plan for enhancing and protecting nature.

 

Tech-wise, there’s lots to play with; Ruby on Rails and Python, along with lots of SQL, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, GIS systems and more as they manage critical databases to leverage insights to support all kinds of conservation projects.

 

You’ll be managing and supporting their web services and tools, monitoring infrastructure and managing databases using PostgreSQL in particular. Any experience deploying software and using CICD pipelines would be cool and testing experience is always beneficial to have!

 

They’re happy to let your passions lead in what you learn and how you progress, DevOps incorporates lots of skillsets, and whether DevOps is your dream or whether your goals change in future you’ll be well supported as you progress.

 

Junior devs here have commented on how quickly they’ve been given real trust to tackle complex problems, with clear support networks and people to ask questions when needed.

 

Also, cloud technologies such as Azure and AWS are increasingly being used. Occasionally you may help partners implement software or configure dashboards. You might write scripts to automate actions for reporting to scientific or policy teams. Or you may need to patch a fix temporarily while a dedicated team work on a long-term solution.

 

The work you do here will accelerate the positive impacts and solutions available to wider organisations benefiting our environment. A lot of these benefits are tangible economic and social wins that in the longer-term will reduce our dependency on problematic resources such as fossil fuels.

 

So, if you’re serious about saving our planet and turning the tide against the fight to fix our climate crisis, this is definitely a role you should apply for.
