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.
Set production network strategy and standards globally, creating the operating system that lets Halter replicate secure, high-reliability manufacturing networks at speed across countries and suppliers.
What you'll do
Own the global production network strategy across factories, suppliers, contract manufacturers, and future sites.
Define the reference architecture for scalable manufacturing networks: segmentation, security controls, remote access, observability, redundancy, device onboarding, naming/IP standards, and support model.
Set readiness gates and standards for network deployment, validation, monitoring, documentation, change control, and incident response.
Drive cross-functional execution for new country/site launches, capacity ramps, major supplier onboarding, high-risk ECNs, and systemic reliability improvements.
Make clear readiness calls on whether network capability, reliability, security, and support model are sufficient for production milestones.
Create leverage by mentoring engineers, setting the technical bar, and building repeatable patterns that others can deploy safely.
What we're looking for
Proven technical leadership of high-reliability industrial, manufacturing, logistics, data centre, telco, utilities, or similarly mission-critical network environments.
Deep architecture experience across routing/switching, VLANs/IP standards, segmentation, firewalls, secure remote access, observability, redundancy, configuration management, and incident response.
Track record scaling network infrastructure across multiple sites, countries, vendors, or operating environments, with standards and documentation that others can deploy safely.
Strong judgement balancing velocity, security, uptime, supportability, and cost.
Excellent communicator who can align Production Engineering, IT/Security, vendors, suppliers, and leadership around clear standards and trade-offs.
Travel frequently as required (approximately 20%); when you're the right person to be on site to own your change, you're there.
Not required but great to have
Practical experience designing networks for factory infrastructure such as production lines, test stations, Linux-based test PCs, routers, gateways, connected fixtures, and supplier-operated equipment.

We’re on a mission to unlock more productive and sustainable agriculture.
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 well-being of their cows.
We bridge deep tech into real-world farming by enabling farmers to remotely shift, virtually fence and proactively monitor their cows’ health and behaviour.
We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.
Halter's headquarters are in Auckland, New Zealand.
