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, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

About the role
At Halter, we’re changing the way the world farms - and with that comes a great deal of responsibility to the producers worldwide who trust us with their animals. Our hardware fleet operates across farms and ranches globally, and as we scale, we need better systems, better tooling, and smarter workflows to support our farmers faster and more reliably.
We’re looking for a highly motivated Junior Fleet Operations Engineer to join our Fleet Operations team. This role is ideal for someone with a computer science or software-oriented background who enjoys solving real-world problems, building internal tools, and improving how teams operate at scale.
This role sits at the intersection of hardware operations, customer impact, and engineering. You will spend part of your time running the day-to-day work, such as monitoring fleet performance, triaging issues, working tickets, and coordinating resolution. The other part of your time will be dedicated to designing and building internal tooling, dashboards, automations, and process improvements that make the Fleet Operations team more effective and allow us to scale globally.
You will collaborate closely with Fleet Engineers, Product, Deployment, Customer Experience, and Software teams to improve how we detect issues, investigate incidents, drive resolution faster, and more consistently.

Improve internal process flows, including triage pathways, escalation rules, investigation checklists, and automation, to reduce time-to-resolution
•
Create systems that help surface issues earlier, such as improved alerting logic, trend analysis, and automated detection of known failure modes
•
Work with engineering teams to integrate tooling with core systems and improve data quality and visibility
Field exposure (optional, as needed)
•
Visit customer farms to work through hardware issues alongside our field-based team where useful
What you will bring
•
A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent practical experience
