The Company

Founded in 2025 by Sam Rogers, who grew up managing 6,000 head on a North Queensland cattle station, GrazeMate builds autonomous drones that move and monitor cattle across the world's largest properties. We're replacing helicopters and motorbikes with drones that herd cattle, count herds, and monitor pasture on their own. Helicopter mustering is expensive, dangerous, and still misses cattle. Our drones launch from a dock, fly the paddock, do the work, and come home. The only pilot is our RL models.

We went through YC (W26) and raised a seed round from the best investors in the valley. Our team is small and highly technical, and we're already working with some of the largest ranches in the world. Engineering is based in Sydney, but the work happens everywhere. Expect to write code at a desk, in a truck, and in the dirt. We work hard because our ranchers do.

We have a team of 6 which is growing steadily, including Computer Vision, Robotics, AI Engineers and a Chief of Staff. We are looking for a Lead Robotics Engineer who will lead technical decisions and a small engineering team. While you will stay hands-on in this role, we expect you to take on some people leadership responsibilities.

The role

You will build GrazeMate's robotics stack, from control architecture through to fleet orchestration, and lead a small team. This is the most senior technical hire on the team right now and you will coach and mentor others.

You will design the control and coordination layers that let a single drone muster ca","datePosted":"2026-07-01","employmentType":"FULL_TIME","hiringOrganization":{"@type":"Organization","name":"GrazeMate","sameAs":"https://grazemate.com"},"url":"https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/grazemate/2f383820-0d8e-4ff9-a660-29ff8ae62906","jobLocation":{"@type":"Place","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressLocality":"Sydney"}}}]
