At Halter we know how much farmers care - for their animals and their pasture. But the tools they rely on havent kept up and were on a mission to change that. Halter helps farmers make smarter decisions - fast. We reckon good pasture management is the key to more productive and sustainable farms. More grass. Healthier soil. Happier animals. And more time back for the people doing the work.

Were looking for standout Junior/Intermediate Engineers with a deep product instinct: people who care as much about the problem as the solution. Youll take on challenges that genuinely havent been solved before. We dont mind whether your strengths sit on the frontend backend full stack or on the platform side that gives every other engineer leverage. What matters is that you ship robust thoughtful work lift the bar on how we build and use AI tools well.

Halter is one system: hardware software and AI running live on real farms. Our engineering teams own different slices of that system but the problems all rhyme:

• Turning thousands of collars and billions of sensor events into a single calm decision in a farmers hand.

• Modelling the physical world (animals pasture terrain) accurately enough to act on in real time.

• Building mobile and web experiences that hold up at 5am whilst out in a paddock in the rain.

• Designing platforms and pipelines that scale with our incredible pace of growth without the seams showing.

• Engineering against constrained hardware flaky rural connectivity and the messiness of the physical world and shipping with pace despite it.

Every team here ships software that has to work in a paddock not just a browser tab.

• Design build and deliver features and systems end to end from the surfaces farmers touch to the services and infrastructure behind them.

• Make smart architectural calls then back them up by writing the code.

• Work closely with engineering design and product to ship high-impact features quickly.

• Collaborate with other engineers through design conversations code reviews and context sharing.

• Contribute to the reliability and performance of our systems especially when things get tricky. Every team owns its services end-to-end with an on-call rotation.

• Get out on farm. Deep domain knowledge matters and youll be expected to develop it.

• Have designed and delivered complex systems in production and have the experience (and scars) to show for it.

• Think like a product engineer: you care about the customer experience not just clean code.

• Know how to use AI tools well to lift team output and focus on the harder stuff.

• Have experience supporting and collaborating with other engineers.

• Are comfortable in fast-moving ambiguous environments where adaptability beats perfection.

• Have worked in cloud environments. AWS is a bonus.

• A degree in software engineering (or equivalent) is nice to have but not essential.

• Frontend / Mobile: strong UX intuition modern frontend frameworks (React React Native a bonus) an eye for performance and polish on real devices.

• Backend: building and scaling REST APIs distributed systems and event-driven services. Comfort with both relational and non-relational databases. Kotlin Go or systems that integrate with hardware/IoT a bonus.

• Full stack: all of the above end to end across web mobile and the services that power them.

• Platform: you love building tooling that makes the whole company move faster including the AI tooling thats reshaping how engineers work. Strong AWS and Terraform at scale with experience across CI/CD observability and on-call tooling.

• Delicious snacks and drinks are available for your daily flow.

• Healthy body healthy mind. Were partnered with Southern Cross Health Insurance to support your well-being.
