Software Engineer I (React Native-Android UI Development)

Procedure Technologies is hiring for Drover.

Drover is pioneering a precise, cost-effective, and humane virtual fencing solution for livestock management that leverages Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) instead of traditional electric shocks. This enables cattle herding and monitoring through painless muscle cues, providing control without additional fencing.

The system is designed for easy deployment, operates without expensive base stations, and transmits health and location data directly to a cloud backend and mobile app. It offers farmers a streamlined and scalable tool to manage their herds efficiently. This is a key building block to enabling regenerative grazing, a practice that can decrease cattle's carbon footprint by up to 35%.
