Job Description

Guidance Software Engineering Manager 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 https://foundersfund.com, Bessemer Venture Partners https://www.bvp.com/, BOND, https://www.bondcap.com/ DCVC https://www.dcvc.com/, Blackbird https://www.blackbird.vc/, Promus Ventures https://www.promusventures.com/, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures https://www.icehouseventures.co.nz/?utm_term=icehouse%20ventures&utm_campaign=Brand+Keywords&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=4064636360&hsa_cam=16902737884&hsa_grp=134004309485&hsa_ad=592971340272&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-1082530126230&hsa_kw=icehouse%20ventures&hsa_mt=b&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2v-gBhC1ARIsAOQdKY0J0DepRVFDmjQlAkJPbZuQnLSA5UVzUzOXYiPxkjX-SeVa513_BhkaAr-MEALw_wcB.

We're looking for a Software Engineering Manager who builds and elevates their team, drives strong technical solutions, and goes deep on hard, real-world problems. This isn't a pure delivery or pure people role. You'll be in the work, shaping technical direction, collaborating closely with design and product, and helping your team do the best work of their careers. Don't worry, you'll also be hands-on. Virtual Fencing is the heart of Halter. It's how thousands of farmers across the world manage their animals every single day. Working closely with a Product Manager and leading a talented group of software engineers, you'll own building the features that make a genuinely complex, hardware-constrained problem feel effortless in the hands of someone standing at the dairy shed at 5am. Our product lives where software meets the physical world; hundreds of distributed collars on real animals, more or less in real time. The constraints are real, and so is the craft required to work within them elegantly. You'll need to hold the technical bar high while creating the space for others to grow. We're solving problems that haven't been solved before, and you'll be crucial to figuring them out. It's a role that demands absolute ownership; someone who can take a blurry problem, create clarity, and lead a team to nail it. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who cares deeply about product, has a strong intuition for experience quality, and leaves things loads better than they found them. WHAT YOU'LL DO. This role is about crafting a Guidance experience that farmers love; one that works intuitively across farms that are fundamentally different in scale, terrain, and practice across all our markets. The team is full-stack with a frontend lean; you'll be working across mobile and services to deliver an experience that feels effortless, no matter how complex the problem underneath. - Lead a team of engineers; supporting their growth, giving great feedback, and helping them focus on what matters. - Own the technical direction and delivery of your team's work; staying close to the details across mobile, services, and system design. You'll be hands-on; ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
