Conservation Support Engineer – Latin America

Help protected areas across Latin America turn data into conservation impact 

EarthRanger is used by more than 1,000 protected areas and conservation programs worldwide, and Latin America is growing fast. National park agencies, NGOs, and community-run reserves from Argentina and Brazil to Costa Rica and Honduras rely on EarthRanger to see what is happening across their landscapes in real time: ranger patrols, wildlife tracking, sensors, and field reports brought together on one map. Setting up a site is a first step. The real work is helping a team go from having EarthRanger to relying on it every day to plan patrols, respond to incidents, and show results to the people who fund and govern their work. That is this job. 

What will you do? 

Help sites succeed, not just get set up 

• Work with protected areas and conservation organizations across Latin America to understand their conservation goals and shape how they use EarthRanger to reach them.
• Own a set of sites in the region that were set up but never became active, and bring them into daily use. This is a first-year goal we will define with you.
• Follow up with sites after onboarding, spot where adoption has stalled, and coach teams through the next step: better patrol coverage, cleaner reporting, smarter use of alerts and analysis.
• Act as the regional voice of the user, feeding what sites need back to our product, documentation, and training teams. 

Support and troubleshoot 

• Be a first point of contact for user questions and field issues from the region, resolving them through our ticketing system and keeping clear records. Expect roughly half your time here at the start, shifting toward site success work as you build relationships and the region's self-serve resources grow.
• Configure and maintain EarthRanger sites: users, event types, patrol types, maps, and integrations with trackers and sensors.
• Know when a problem needs an engineer, and hand it over with the detail they need. 

Train and enable 

• Deliver EarthRanger training to rangers, biologists, analysts, and managers, from one-on-one coaching to multi-day workshops, in Spanish and English.
• Help build and translate training materials, help-center articles, and short videos for the region. 

Support national and multi-site deployments 

• Contribute to large rollouts across many protected areas: scoping, planning, data standards, and follow-through with government and NGO partners.
• Track your projects and communicate status, risks, and decisions clearly to partners and the internal team. 

What we are looking for 

Required 

• A conservation foundation. Either hands-on work in conservation or protected areas (ranger, biologist, park or reserve staff, NGO field or program staff), or a demonstrated commitment to conservation through study, volunteering, or community projects combined with experienc
