About Halter
At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers and graziers to run the most productive and sustainable operations. Our customers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional practices. Imagine watching 500 cattle stand up and walk calmly towards their next break?
No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a group of cattle walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic.
Our customers are revolutionizing grazing with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join Halter to do meaningful work.
By joining us you’ll be solving challenging problems within a talented team and a culture built for high performance. Our team out-think, out-work and out-care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world - this isn’t easy, and in truth, we love that it’s hard.
We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including Founders Fund, Bessemer Venture Partners, BOND, DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures.

About the role:
As a Junior Salesforce Developer you are a hands-on member of the team. You keep the platform healthy by owning day-to-day support, you build improvements and features end to end with guidance from senior developers, and you grow into someone who can sit with a stakeholder, understand the problem and shape the right solution.
This is a development role in both senses. You will write and ship code, and Halter will invest in your growth toward a certified, well-rounded Salesforce professional.
What your day could look like:
Keeping Salesforce running smoothly:
Triage support requests, troubleshoot issues and escalate with clear context.
Fix bugs across Apex, flows, permissions and integrations, and make safe, tested data and configuration changes.
Tackle recurring problems at the source and keep support guides up to date.
Building improvements and new features:
Take small to medium changes from brief to release: scope, build, test and deploy.
Use flows and configuration where they fit, and Apex and LWC where code adds value.
Follow team standards for testing, code reviews and documentation.
Own defined parts of larger projects with guidance from senior developers.
Working closely with the business:
Turn stakeholder requests into clear requirements and practical solutions.
Help run workshops, building confidence to lead smaller conversations.
Keep teams across Sales, RevOps, Finance, Launch and Customer Success informed on progress, blockers and trade-offs.
Growing your Salesforce skills:
Earn Salesforce Administrator and Platform Developer I certifications in your first year, with exam fees and protected study time covered by Halter.
Build towards Platform App Builder and a specialisation aligned with our roadmap.
Put Trailhead learning into practice and spot opportunities in new Salesforce releases.
Who we're looking for:
Foundations in Salesforce development: Apex, flows and the data model, with an appetite to go deeper.
Familiarity with a Git-based workflow: branches, pull requests and code review.
Care for quality: You test your work, ask when unsure, and prefer a root-cause fix over a patch.
Clear written and spoken communication, and comfort asking questions of colleagues who are not technical.
Curiosity about how the business works and how the platform serves it.
Nice to have:
JavaScript or LWC, SOQL or SQL
Exposure to Revenue Cloud.
OmniStudio or integration tooling, and any existing Salesforce certification
Our Benefits:
Delicious snacks and drinks are available for your daily flow.
Healthy body, healthy mind. We're partnered with Southern Cross Health Insurance to support your well-being.
We offer 6 months of fully paid parental leave for primary caregivers, 4 weeks of fully paid secondary caregiver leave and many other parental benefits that support you and your family.
Our personal growth is important. Halter offers an annual $1000 self-development budget to be used for anything that fuels personal growth.
Our time to recharge is valued, we're offered wellness leave and unlimited paid annual leave.
Importantly, we offer an inclusive and attractive remuneration package made up of salary, benefits and an employee stock ownership plan.
Our Office First Approach
Humans are wired for connection. Being office first is a core pillar of our culture because in-person connections drive your growth, learning, impact, and relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful work together.
We're office first, not office only. Working from the office is our default, but we flex when needed. We have a high-trust culture where everyone is trusted to do what's best for Halter.
Our office vibe is special, the high energy and spectacular people make work enjoyable. Your growth and impact are unlimited here, coming from solving problems, innovating, and constantly learning from each other.
