Global security and animal management technology across 160 countries
Gallagher is a 1,300+ person engineering and manufacturing operation split between animal management (virtual fencing, e-shepherding) and perimeter security solutions. The tech stack—SAP, PostgreSQL, .NET Core, React, Kubernetes on Azure/AWS—suggests a mature, polyglot backend supporting both IoT (LoRa, Embedded C/C++) and cloud-native services. No active adopts or replacements signal a stable platform, while hiring remains engineering-focused (48 of 94 roles) with geography spread across eight countries; deceleration in velocity and emphasis on customer success frameworks and adoption barriers indicate a shift from pure product velocity toward scaling existing solutions.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Compliance, Head of Communications
