Contract Infrastrcuture Engineer
Location: Hybrid (London)
Contract Length: 6 months
Make your mark on the future of the planet.
The world is facing a nature crisis. We’ve lost 85% of the world’s wetlands, 35% of its forests, and 65% of its living creatures. Action on nature is the next frontier for sustainability. Here at Natcap, we’re building the tools that help global businesses transition from net zero to nature positive — enabling them to prioritise, measure, and act on their nature impacts, risks, and opportunities.
Founded in 2018 and backed by recent funding, we’re entering a high-growth phase and seeking mission-driven experts to join us.
About the role -
We’re looking for a contract Infrastructure Engineer to strengthen our engineering team with critical experience in infrastructure and cybersecurity. You’ll play a key role in developing secure, scalable, and resilient systems that power our nature intelligence platform, directly contributing to the mission of reversing nature loss.
You’ll work cross-functionally with teams in Product, Design, Delivery, Science, and Engineering to shape a secure, high-performing, and intuitive platform. This is a hands-on, impactful role for someone who wants their technical skills to drive real-world environmental outcomes.
What you’ll bring -
We’re looking for someone who has experience with:
Designing, implementing, and managing secure and scalable cloud infrastructure, especially in AWS (knowledge of Google Cloud is a plus).
Using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Configuration Management tools like Terraform and Ansible to build and secure environments.
Embedding security best practices and compliance benchmarks directly into IaC and CM workflows.
Integrating infrastructure with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions).
Deploying applications using Kubernetes, EKS, ECS, and Lambda — with a preference for Kubernetes/EKS experience.
Implementing pipeline security controls, such as SAST, vulnerability scanning, and code linting.
Monitoring and securing infrastructure using AWS services like CloudWatch, Athena, Config, and CloudTrail.
Why join us -
This is an opportunity to use your technical capabilities to support one of the most important challenges of our time. You’ll be part of a collaborative, ambitious, and mission-led team working to accelerate a global shift towards nature-positive business.
