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

8+ years backend engineering experience in production systems

Proven experience architecting large-scale distributed systems (high throughput, low latency, high availability)

Deep expertise in system design including scalability, fault tolerance, and performance optimization

Experience leading cross-team technical initiatives in complex systems

Strong understanding of security, privacy, compliance, and secure coding practices

Basic Qualifications

Candidates for this role must have:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field
• At least three years of experience writing production code of increasing complexity
