$ads={1}

The future of food production hinges on an important question: How do we feed the world’s growing population without compromising our natural resources? Farmers feed our population and hold the keys to vital climate solutions. At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers to run the most productive and sustainable farms. Farmers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional farming. They’re growing more grass, increasing milk production and improving the health and wellbeing of their cows.

We bridge deep tech into farming. Halter enables farmers to remotely shift, virtually fence and proactively monitor their cows’ health and behaviour. Can you imagine watching 500 dairy cows turn in unison and walk calmly towards the milking shed? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a mob of cows walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing farming with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry.

People join Halter because they want 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 Bessemer Venture Partners, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

About the role

Halter has over 200,000 collars that connect to our wireless network every minute to report hundreds of metrics that fuel the innovation of every team at Halter. We also talk to those collars several times a minute to issue commands and updated information. This network is the backbone of our product, and we’re looking for someone who can go deep on multivariate analysis of our system to determine how to make the system more performant, robust, and efficient!

This internship will run from the 15th of November 2023 through to the 25th of February 2024. It will be full-time 40 hours a week over this time period.

What your day could look like

  • Looking for correlations between message success or failure and environment & system variables like interference, load, message size, timing irregularities, and whatever else you can dig out
  • Determining what towers are actually required to talk to the collars and helping build the algorithm to power off the rest
  • Researching modern methods of data compaction, transmission scheme methodologies, and interference mitigation techniques
  • Working with the software team to get your findings & analysis into production
  • Getting out on farm to observe the product in action to root cause bugs/issues

Who are we looking for?

  • You are enrolled in your penultimate, final year or have a recent completion of an Statistics, Computer Science or Information Technology or similar degree
  • Someone with the right attitude. We’re looking for the deeply curious, those who are driven to learn and grow in all areas.
  • Someone who has intermediate python or Go skills
  • Someone familiar with AWS and extracting data from sources like SQL & Redis
  • Some university or project based experience in machine learning and data science
  • Good amount of university or project based experience with data wrangling
  • Someone who takes ownership and keeps asking questions until they get what they need
  • An intern at Halter is a fully fledged member of the team and you’ll be given opportunity, ownership and responsibility like everyone else.
  • If this sounds a little intense, it is. You’ll be working alongside an epic team of the best and brightest. You’ll be having an impact and you’ll be learning quickly - that’s Halter.

Halter is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace — a place where we can each be ourselves and do the best work of our lives. Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the requirements, women and under-represented groups of candidates tend to only apply when they meet every requirement. If you think you have what it takes but don’t necessarily tick every requirement on this job description, please still get in touch and apply to Halter. We’d love to chat to see if you’ll be an epic fit!

Our Office First Approach

We do have flexible working hours and you can work from home when you need to but we encourage our team to be in the office as much as you can.

We have an office-first approach because we would like to keep the opportunity for teams to have spontaneous interactions which in turn has allowed our team at Halter to foster strong relationships. Stronger relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, do meaningful work and as a result be higher performing as a team.
