Internal Systems Engineer

Halter

Halter

Software Engineering
Auckland, New Zealand
Posted on Thursday, May 30, 2024
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 Bessemer Venture Partners, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

We’re looking for an Internal Systems Engineer to join our team to support the EPIC people we have here and help us scale in the USA. Cloud automation, hardware procurement, network design and cybersecurity are all various parts of what you get to work on.
We need someone self-motivated who can quickly change gears and reprioritise based on what comes up throughout the day. You’ll have primary decision-making power in most respects, we love to experiment and challenge the status quo.

  • Proactively maintaining a strong security posture
  • Upgrading, installing and configuring hardware and software for employees

  • Working experience or a rich knowledge of IT systems, networks, and related technologies
  • Demonstrated broad knowledge of various hardware and software
  • As a cloud-native company, all our infrastructure is Linux-based, so Linux experience is a must-have.

Our Office First Approach
We do have flexible working hours and you can work from home when you need to but we encourage our team to be in the office as much as you can.
We have an office-first approach because we would like to keep the opportunity for teams to have spontaneous interactions which in turn has allowed our team at Halter to foster strong relationships. Stronger relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, do meaningful work and as a result, be higher performing as a team.
