Auckland City, New Zealand Halter Full time

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 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.

**Why our team loves working at Halter ❤️**:

- Every so often a company comes along that disrupts and transforms an entire industry, leaving society in a better place, and Halter is doing just that. We have a genuine and shared connection to our mission and want to make a real difference in the world.
- Our product changes the lives of our farmers and ranchers, directly improving their livelihoods and their lifestyle. Your work matters.
- Dedicate yourself to solving real-world problems alongside an epic team in a high-growth culture.. New ideas are highly encouraged, we’re able to move fast, and our impact is real.
- 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.
- With Halter not being your standard 9-5, our time to recharge is important; we’re offered wellness leave and unlimited paid annual leave. As they say, the fastest car needs the best brakes.
- We offer an inclusive and attractive remuneration package made up of salary, benefits and an employee stock ownership plan (shares).

**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?

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 Bessemer Venture Partners,
