Halter

Halter is an agtech company that builds deep-tech systems for livestock farming: solar-powered smart collars for cattle, communication towers that provide farm connectivity, and farm management software that lets farmers remotely and precisely manage their herds. The company operates at the intersection of hardware and IoT, communication infrastructure, software development and data science, applying all of it to precision livestock management. Its stated aim is to enable half of the world's habitable landmass to become more productive and sustainable.

The team comprises more than 300 engineers, data scientists and farming experts, working across New Zealand, Australia and the United States, with headquarters in Auckland. The company describes itself as growing rapidly across those three markets. Roles are cross-functional by design, with engineers, data scientists and farming specialists working together on products that span wearable hardware, network infrastructure and software.

Working culture at Halter is field-first: staff split their time between farms and the office, and testing in real farming conditions is as much a part of the job as development at HQ. The company emphasises autonomy, hands-on innovation, ownership of outcomes and a stated belief that technology should empower rather than replace the expertise of farmers and ranchers. For marketing engineers, this means working alongside an engineering organisation with a tangible physical product, a data-rich platform and an expanding multi-country footprint.
