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. Imagine watching 500 cattle stand up and walk calmly towards their next break? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a group of cattle walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing grazing with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join Halter 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 Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end stack behind the factory testing, traceability, and process control — from data capture at the test station, to databases, to dashboards/APIs

  • Build robust, scalable AWS tooling that gets factory data to the teams that need it.

  • Set standards for quality, security, observability, and release.

  • Help shape the technical roadmap and make the architecture calls as volume grows.

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience building and shipping complex production systems.

  • Strong, hands-on AWS: can independently design and ship scalable, reliable tooling.

  • Solid backend and data engineering: REST APIs, event-driven and distributed services in Go or Python, databases, and data pipelines. Strong SQL.

  • Experience building platform and infrastructure tooling at scale: AWS, Terraform, CI/CD, observability.

  • A technical leader: sets technical direction and roadmaps, and grows engineers through hands-on work and influence.

  • Bonus: manufacturing test or operations experience — production line, hardware test, SPC, contract manufacturing.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
