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.

About the role:

Five hundred cattle stand up and walk calmly to their next grazing area. No fences, no dogs, no quad bikes. People say it looks like magic. It is actually solar-powered collars, satellite and mesh connectivity, and machine learning that knows when a cow has eaten enough, how much pasture is left, whether she is healthy, and even who her friends are. Most of this technology did not exist five years ago. We invented it, and we are not slowing down.

You won’t be billing your life in six-minute increments, polishing other people's ideas. At Halter you sit inside a world-class engineering team that ships novel radio protocols, bespoke electronics, firmware, and machine learning at a rapid pace, and we are filing aggressively to hold our global lead. Your job is to find the inventions, sometimes before the engineers realise they have made one, and lock them in.

You will be the second member of our IP team, which means you get to shape how this is done. You’ll bring the patentability analysis, drafting, and prosecution firepower, and you will build the scalable, AI-enhanced systems a rapidly expanding portfolio needs. Expect to spend real time with engineers, reading design docs and code, asking questions until you actually understand how it works, and turning what you find into claims that hold up.

We are adding 500 roles in the next year. That is a constant firehose of new ideas and products.
