The impact of our work is profound, and we take that responsibility seriously. As a member of the Pasture team, you'll share our passion for technology and our commitment to optimizing the management of agricultural land.

You will be responsible for :

• Modeling, from biological processes to farm operations : You will drive development of predictive systems to solve real-world challenges faced by farmers
• Research, from technical to agriculture : you will be required to conduct extensive literature reviews, and stay ahead of the curve with respect to both machine-learning systems, and pasture science
• ️Model development : design, dataset construction, training and optimization : Rarely do we utilize a model off the shelf. You will own the architectural design, and all phases of model development
• Supporting your work in production : Halter engineers demonstrate a high level of ownership. We support what we build, and we learn from our systems behavior in the field
• Proactive innovation : As a member of the data discipline it is expected that you will exercise a high degree of creativity to proactively deliver innovative ideas

Our Office First Approach

There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams.

Being office first is a core pillar of our culture. We believe in-person connections are key to driving your own growth, learning, impact, and building genuine long-lasting relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful and aligned work. We don’t like having heaps of rules or policies, but this means having strong, trusted relationships is critical.

We’re office first, not office only. This means working from the office everyday is our default setting, but we flex when we need to. We have a high-trust culture, so everyone is trusted to do what’s best for Halter.

Our office vibe is something special, it’s hard to describe until you’re here, but people at Halter who have come from fully remote or hybrid companies say they could never go back - the high energy and spectacular people they are now surrounded by everyday makes work so enjoyable. Your growth, your learning and your impact is truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
