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.

About the role

We’re looking for an epic frontend 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 a senior, 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.

What you'll do

• Contribute to the architecture and implementation of key web and mobile features.

• Bring a strong product lens - you’ll work closely 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.

• Support and guide other engineers, 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

• Are experienced with React and have strong opinions on frontend architecture and design systems.

• Think like a product engineer: you care about the customer experience, not just clean code, and have the experience to back this.

• 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.

Our Benefits

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

• Healthy body, healthy mind. We’re partnered with Southern Cross Health Insurance to support your well-being.

• We offer 6 months of fully paid parental leave for primary caregivers, 4 weeks of fully paid secondary caregiver leave and many other parental benefits that support you and your family.

• Our personal growth is important. Halter offers an annual $1000 self-development budget to be used for anything that fuels personal growth.

• Our time to recharge is valued, we’re offered wellness leave and unlimited paid annual leave.

• Importantly, we offer an inclusive and attractive remuneration package made up of salary, benefits and an employee stock ownership plan.

Our Office First Approach

There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams.

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. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful and aligned work. We don’t like having heaps of rules or policies, but this means having strong, trusted relationships is critical.

We’re office first, not office only. This means working from the office everyday is our default setting, but we flex when we need to. We have a high-trust culture, so everyone is trusted to do what’s best for Halter.

Our office vibe is something special, it’s hard to describe until you’re here, but people at Halter who have come from fully remote or hybrid companies say they could never go back - the high energy and spectacular people they are now surrounded by everyday makes work so enjoyable. Your growth, your learning and your impact is truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
