Job Description

Why Join Us

n

At eShepherd, we're building technology that's changing the way farming works.

n

Our virtual fencing solution helps farmers manage livestock more efficiently, improve land use, and reduce environmental impact - all through a mobile app and connected devices.

n

We're part of Gallagher Group, which means we combine startup pace with the backing of a well‐established global business.

n

What We Do

n

We build practical, real‐world technology used on farms every day - not just in ideal conditions, but in remote, low‐connectivity environments where reliability matters.

n

Our mobile app is a critical part of that experience, giving farmers visibility and control in the field. As we scale globally, we're continuing to expand and improve what that app can do.

n

Your Role

n

As a Mobile Software Engineer, you'll be building and improving features in our React Native app used across iOS and Android.

n

This isn't a purely junior, task‐based role. You'll contribute to real features in a live product, working alongside experienced engineers while still owning your work end‐to‐end.

n

You'll help us deliver feature improvements, support growing usage, and build a product that performs well in real‐world conditions.

n

The type of person we're looking for

n

We're looking for an engineer who enjoys building things that are actually used - and is motivated by solving practical problems.

n

Someone who is comfortable learning on the job and improving as they go, rather than waiting to be 100% ready.

n

A team player who communicates well and works closely with product, QA, and other engineers.

n

A pragmatic thinker who values progress and delivery,



not perfection.

n

The Ideal Candidate Has

n

n
- Around 2+ years' experience in software or mobile development
n
- Hands‐on experience (or strong exposure) to React Native and JavaScript/TypeScript
n
- Understanding of mobile fundamentals across iOS and Android
n
- Experience building features (commercially, through study, or personal projects)
n
- Familiarity with Git and agile ways of working
n
- Strong sense of ownership and clear communication skills
n
- Full working rights in Australia
n

n

Nice‐to‐haves

n

n
- Experience with Firebase, mapping, or geolocation services
n
- Experience integrating with APIs or third‐party services
n
- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines or mobile deployment processes
n
- Interest in IoT, Bluetooth, or connected devices
n

n

Why work with us

n

n
- Market-competitive salary and long‐term growth opportunities
n
- Modern Melbourne office with great amenities and easy transport links
n
- Work on a product that's used in the real world, not just internally
n
- Learn from experienced engineers and develop your mobile skillset quickly
n
- Career growth opportunities as we scale globally
n
- A supportive, down‐to‐earth team that values collaboration over ego
n
- Tools and tech that make your job easier - what you need to succeed
n

n

Not a perfect match on paper? That's okay - we value potential and perspective. Include a cover letter to tell us who you are, the impact you can make, and why eShepherd is the place for you.
