About EShepherd
We're eShepherd - a fast-moving agritech startup revolutionising livestock management.

We combine startup grit with the strength of a global leader. Our team thrives on curiosity, collaboration, and building solutions that matter.

We move fast, learn faster, and scale with purpose.

We're progress-over-perfection, and we get sh*t done. Our team knows tech, gets their hands dirty, and thrives on innovation.

We believe real connection fuels better ideas - that's why we build together, in person, and flex when it counts.

The Opportunity
We're seeking a full-time intermediate or senior Firmware Engineer to lead the development of embedded systems for cutting-edge IoT and smart tech products. You'll architect and implement firmware platforms, collaborate with electronics and cloud teams, and ensure robust, scalable solutions.

We value proactive problem-solvers who thrive in fast-paced environments, communicate clearly, and bring a strong sense of ownership and curiosity to everything they do.

The Fit
To succeed in this role, you'll need a strong technical foundation, a collaborative mindset, and a passion for solving real-world challenges through embedded systems. We're looking for someone who combines deep engineering expertise with a proactive, growth-oriented attitude - someone who thrives in dynamic environments, takes ownership, and contributes meaningfully to both product development and team culture.
