Why join us?

We’re a global tech company, just not the kind you’re picturing.

Sure, we’ve got catered lunches, team events, cool merch, and yes... dogs in the office. But that’s not why people join.

Our team of nearly a thousand people wakes up every day to make our product and our customers’ lives better. At SafetyCulture, you’ll hear “yes, let’s give it a shot” more often than “that’s not how we do things here.”

People join because we’re building tools that make work better for the 3 billion people who keep the world moving - factory floor operators, baggage handlers, truck drivers, servers, store assistants. The ones who make things happen. We’ve got the scale and innovation you’d expect from big tech. The difference? No endless layers of sign-off. No corporate theatre. Just smart, experienced people solving real problems fast .

The scale is big. But the ownership’s personal. Every full-time team member gets equity - real skin in the game. When we grow, you do too. We’re not perfect, no company is. But this next chapter of our growth is about scaling with intelligence, not just size - fueled by operational maturity, a clear vision, and a strong focus on AI.

This is big tech impact, without the big tech ick. If that excites you more than it scares you, you’ll fit right in.

This role exists to help build a new generation of industry-specific applications on top of the SafetyCulture platform. You'll work in a small, fast-moving team with significant autonomy, building deeply tailored experiences for specific customer segments rather than extending a generic product flow.

Design and build product features end-to-end across frontend, backend, and mobile, with a lean towards frontend and React Native

Make fast, pragmatic trade-off decisions about when to integrate with existing platform systems versus building independently

Navigate dependencies with platform teams — knowing when to contribute to shared infrastructure versus shipping what the team needs now

Partner closely with a principal engineer and cross-functional teammates to explore requirements, pressure-test technical approaches, and iterate quickly

Build AI-native features as the product matures, contributing to platform capabilities the broader engineering organisation can build on

Communicate trade-offs and constraints clearly so expectations stay grounded in engineering reality

Contribute to code review and help raise the technical bar through direct, collaborative engagement with peers

Strong frontend engineering capability with solid React experience; React Native experience is a strong advantage

Comfortable with backend development in TypeScript or Go — Go experience is a bonus, and the right person will pick it up with support

Experience building in product-focused, fast-iteration environments — ideally in a SaaS startup or scale-up

Able to build new applications while navigating and integrating with existing systems — comfortable working outside of greenfield environments

Actively uses agentic coding tools as a core part of how you work, not just occasionally

Product-minded: able to co-own direction with a product manager, make sensible scope calls, and understand the "why" behind what's being built

Comfortable with ambiguity — picks up loosely defined requirements and drives towards a solution without waiting for a perfect brief

Assertive and direct: able to push back constructively, frame trade-offs clearly, and have honest conversations up and across the team

Fast and decisive: makes calls, ships, and course-corrects rather than over-engineering before moving

Collaborative without being passive — seeks to understand existing systems, debates trade-offs with peers, and lands on better outcomes together

Self-directed and hungry: identifies what needs doing and goes after it without close management

Uses agentic coding tools (such as Claude or similar) as a primary part of the development workflow

Able to prompt effectively, evaluate AI-generated code for quality and logical soundness, and apply human judgement where it matters

Curious about building AI-native product features and how AI is changing what's worth building

At 3 months: shipped meaningful features, made sound integration trade-offs, and built a strong working relationship with your principal engineer and team

Makes technical calls independently and confidently — escalates with options and trade-offs, not just problems

Keeps iteration cycles fast by unblocking independently and flagging real blockers early

At 6 months: features are in customers' hands, performing well, and you've contributed to how the team works — not just what it delivers

Equity with high growth potential, and a competitive salary

Flexible working arrangements

Access to professional and personal training and development opportunities

Hackathons, Workshops, Lunch & Learns

In-house Culinary Crew serving up daily breakfast, lunch and snacks

Barista coffee machine, craft beer on tap, boutique wines and a range of non-alcoholic beverages

Wellbeing initiatives such as subsidised fitness programs, EAP services and generous parental leave policy

Quarterly celebrations and team events

On-site gym, table tennis, board games, books library, and pet-friendly offices
