Mobile Automation Tester - Remote

Overview

EarthRanger is a software solution that helps conservationists make informed operational decisions. We help prevent the poaching of endangered species, fight deforestation, promote human-wildlife coexistence, and advocate for legal protection of wildlife on land or in the oceans. We do this by integrating real-time data from 100+ hardware sensors (animal trackers, radios, vehicles, etc…), rangers, patrols, remote imaging, and providing visibility and analysis of conservation activities across landscapes and seascapes. More than 350 conservation organizations use EarthRanger today, from iconic national parks like Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya and North Luangwa National Park in Zambia, to species-specific conservation programs like the study of white sharks in New Zealand and Panthera’s Mountain Lion Program in Washington state.

You will collaborate with our users, NGOs, and academic partners to understand, design and deliver functionality to aid in wildlife conservation. In this role, you will support the configuration, deployment and operation of the EarthRanger platform as we scale to hosting tens of thousands conservation sites and programs. The right candidate will be confident in the use of the latest tools and best practices. ER is a global platform.
