Job Description:
About Drover Ranching is getting harder. Increased labor costs
and a volatile climate are placing mounting pressure to provide for
a growing population. Drover is empowering ranchers to efficiently
and sustainably feed the world by making it cheaper and easier to
manage livestock, unlock productivity gains, and reduce carbon
footprint with rotational grazing. Not only is this a $46B
opportunity, you'll be working on a climate solution with the
potential for real, meaningful impact. We use patent-pending
low-voltage electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to steer and
contain cows, replacing the need for physical fences or electric
shock. We are building something that has never been done before
and have hundreds of ranches on our waitlist. Drover (prev. AgX) is
founded by Callum Taylor (ex-Harvard) who comes from 5 generations
of ranching and Samuel Aubin, both of whom grow up in Australian
ranching towns and have an intricate understanding of the problem
space. We are well funded and supported by Workshop Ventures, a VC
firm with experience in building unicorn IoT companies. We're
looking to assemble a team of exceptional talent with high
eagerness to dive head first into understanding the challenges and
opportunities within ranching. About the role As our Lead Cloud
Engineer, you will be responsible for building and scaling the
infrastructure that powers our IoT platform connecting thousands of
devices across ranches nationwide. Because we are an early-stage
startup, you will have high levels of ownership in what you build.
You will play a pivotal part in architecting our cloud
infrastructure, building robust APIs, and ensuring our systems can
scale reliably. We are looking for someone who is excited about
solving complex technical challenges at the intersection of IoT,
agriculture, and cloud computing. What You’ll Do Develop Drover IoT
