The future of food production hinges on an important question: How do we feed the world’s growing population without compromising our natural resources? Both dairy and beef farmers feed our population and hold the keys to vital climate solutions. At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers to run the most productive and sustainable farms. Farmers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional farming. They’re growing more grass, increasing milk production and/or helping their cattle gain more weight (for beef farming) and improving the health and well-being of their cows.
We bridge deep tech into farming. Halter enables farmers to remotely shift, virtually fence and proactively monitor their cows’ health and behaviour. Can you imagine watching 500 cows or cattle walk calmly towards the milking shed or their next break? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a mob of cows walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionising farming with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry.
People join Halter because they want to do meaningful work. By joining us you’ll be solving challenging problems within a talented team and a culture built for high performance. Our team out-think, out-work and out-care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world - this isn’t easy, and in truth, we love that it’s hard. We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including

About the role
At Halter, we work at the interface where software meets firmware meets hardware underpinned by deep data to transform and improve what our customers (farmers) have been doing for centuries. This space is challenging and intellectually stimulating. We're just scratching the surface.
We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer who is hungry to make an impact on the world; people from all backgrounds who can continue to make our team greater than the sum of its parts. We’re looking for people who are comfortable working in a passionate, enthusiastic environment where they will be stretched on a daily basis. As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the user interface of our products. You will work alongside a team of engineers, designers, and product managers, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and help define the technical direction of our frontend architecture. The ideal candidate is not only a hands-on coder but also a strategic thinker who can contribute to the overall design and user experience strategy.
You'll be joining our Animal team where we focus on virtual fencing, remote shifting and automatic heat and health detections of cows and cattle. To succeed you will need to be able to learn quickly and use your own initiative while working under pressure and to tight deadlines. We embrace learning, we strive to help and support each other to succeed, and we will help you make this the best job you’ll ever have.
