Full-Stack Engineer

Full-Stack Engineer (Front-End focused) at CattleCare - a Silicon Valley company changing the dairy market with the help of video technology (remote).

Cattle Care, ‌an organization dedicated to transforming the dairy farming industry, has been on a remarkable journey since 2017. During this time, the team has diligently developed an operational platform for dairy farms that harnesses the power of Computer Vision technology. In 2021, a significant milestone was achieved with the launch of the flagship product, a people management tool designed specifically for the most labor-intensive and crucial aspect of a dairy farm - the milking parlor. In the year 2022, growth exceeded threefold.

The company helps farm owners by providing daily reports about all the deviations happening in the milking facility. Its game-changing technologies help conduct round-the-clock video monitoring of cattle using commercial equipment and track behavioral signatures for each cow in the herd using computer vision algorithms. Moreover, it helps to understand whether cows are sick or not so that you can react on time and prevent bacteria from spreading into the milk. You probably haven't thought about it but this technology helps not only farmers and their cows to be happier & healthier, but also us as customers - so we buy the best milk from the best producers, without fear that we may get infected with something.

At Cattle Care, using artificial Intelligence, they increase the revenue of dairy farms and decrease GHG emissions, antibiotics, and hormone usage. They secured $3.2M in funding from serial angel investors, VCs, and domain experts. They have 70 farms and $1.4M ARR; the company has grown 3X in 2022 and hit break-even. The new Tech Lead will help Cattle Care scale the business to 140 farms and $5M ARR in 2024.
