Auckland, New Zealand
Posted 6+ months ago
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.
