Procedure is hiring for Drover.
This is not a DevOps/SRE/cloud-migration role — this is a hands-on backend engineering and architecture role where you build the platform powering our hardware at scale.
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 we have hundreds of ranches on our waitlist.
Drover is founded by Callum Taylor (ex-Harvard), who comes from 5 generations of ranching, and Samuel Aubin, both of whom grew 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 a high eagerness to dive headfirst into understanding the challenges and opportunities within ranching.
About The Role
As our founding 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 cloud architecture from the ground up (it’s a green field project)
- Design and implement services to support wearable devices, mobile app, and backend API
- Implement data processing and storage pipelines
- Create and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code
- Support the engineering team across all aspects of early-stage development -- after all, this is a startup
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience developing cloud architecture on AWS
- In-depth understanding of various AWS services, especially those related to IoT
- Expertise in cloud-hosted, event-driven, serverless architectures
- Expertise in programming languages suitable for AWS micro-services (eg: TypeScript, Python)
- Experience with networking and socket programming
- Experience with Kubernetes or similar orchestration platforms
- Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK)
- Familiarity with relational databases (PostgreSQL)
- Familiarity with Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
Nice To Have
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field

Tech stack
Candid answers by the company
We are an applied AI and product development company established in early 2017
Our team is a mixed bag. Of the smart and the hard workers. Of the organised and slightly chaotic. Of the early risers and the burners of the midnight oil. We appreciate diversity and truly like having differing perspectives in the room.
We pride ourselves on being early adopters of the latest tools, libraries and frameworks while consistently delivering business value. People who work with us fall in love with their craft. We have changed the definition of "work" for them.
Here are some of our beliefs about work
- Work is only 1 part of your life and not your entire life. We treat it as such.
- Weekends are sacred and not to be messed around with. So you won't be asked to work on one.
- Commuting is a waste of time. Working from home saves you additional time. Go crazy with it.
- Side gigs are welcome. We believe there are multiple avenues to learn and grow. So why restrict it only to work?
- Asynchronous by-default. Synchronous communication is expensive, so we default to writing docs and literature to enable async communication.
- Good things come in pairs. Errors get halved. Productivity, ideas and fun get doubled. Learning gets accelerated exponentially.
- Learning from mistakes. If you are not making mistakes and learning from them, you are not growing.
Trust us, there's never a dull day at work.
