Description

At Halter, we know how much farmers care - for their animals and their pasture. But the tools they rely on haven’t kept up, and we’re 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. About the role We’re looking for a high impact engineer with a product-obsessed mindset - someone who cares about what we build, and why we’re building it. This is a rare chance to solve fascinating, hard problems that no one’s tackled before. As an intermediate, you’ll work across our mobile and web apps, writing clean, reliable code that makes a real difference. We’re forward-looking and embracing what AI means for how we build. You’ll be shipping features, improving performance, and collaborating with the team. We care about how you think and act: curious, thoughtful, practical, and someone who takes absolute ownership. \n What you’ll do Take full ownership, contribute to the architecture and implementation of key mobile features. Collaborate with design and product to make smart trade-offs and ship high-impact features fast. Use AI tools (like Copilot or Cursor) without cutting corners on readability or quality. Maintain high standards for how you build: thoughtful code, great performance, clean design, and features that scale. Contribute to our design system and frontend patterns - Tailwind and Storybook are part of the picture. Actively participate with the team, reviewing code and sharing context freely. Keep frontend experiences fast and reliable, including when things go sideways. We support our systems end-to-end. You’ll be great if you Real world experience delivering with React, ideally React Native and understand the unique challenges of developing for mobile. Motivated to solve real customer problems, you care about the customer experience, not just clean code. Know how to use AI tools well - not just as shortcuts, but to lift your output and focus on the harder stuff. Have a track record of shipping software in cross-functional teams. Are comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where adaptability beats perfection. We work hard. Understand how to build for performance, accessibility, and maintainability. Bonus points if you’ve worked in React Native, scaled design systems, worked with native mobile products, or mentored other engineers. A degree in software engineering or equivalent is a bonus, but not a must-have. \n Why our team loves working at Halter At Halter, we’re committed to creating an environment where people thrive. We offer unlimited paid annual leave, as well as additional wellness days. Each year, every team member receives a $1,000 self-development budget to invest in whatever fuels their personal growth. We offer six months of fully paid leave for primary caregivers and four weeks of fully paid leave for secondary caregivers, along with a range of additional family-friendly benefits. To support your wellbeing, we offer subsidised health insurance through Southern Cross. And finally, everyone at Halter is an owner. Every employee is part of our stock ownership plan; when we succeed, you share in that success. Our office-first approach Being office-first is a core pillar of our culture. We believe in-person connections are key to driving your own growth, learning, impact, and building genuine long-lasting relationships. We’re office first, not office only. This means that working from the office every day is our default setting, but we flex when needed. Your growth, learning, and impact are truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together, solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other. We have a state-of-the-art, dog-friendly office in the heart of Auckland City and a test farm in Morrinsville. Delicious snacks and drinks are readily available. About Halter At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers and graziers to run the most productive and sustainable operations. Our customers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional practices and revolutionizing grazing with Halter. People join Halter to do meaningful work. Our team out-think, out-work and out-care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world. 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.
