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.
We’re looking for a P&C Engineer to build and own the technical systems that power modern HR functions. This role sits at the intersection of HR, data, automation and AI. You’ll write code, design workflows, create internal tools and develop AI agents that help P&C at SafetyCulture scale and evolve with confidence.
This is not a traditional HR systems or people analytics role (we have a dedicated role for this!). You’ll spend most of your time building systems, eliminating manual work, and designing workflows that reduce friction for the P&C team and the broader business.
Key Responsibilities:
Define and execute SafetyCulture’s People AI & automation roadmap, identifying the highest-impact opportunity areas across the P&C function
Partner with stakeholders (within P&C and beyond) to assess AI opportunity areas, define solution architecture, and deliver internal AI capabilities that scale the People team’s impact
Develop end-to-end AI systems, including tooling/integration layers, skills management, prompt management, and workflow orchestration.
Engineer and maintain production of AI solutions, owning delivery from prototype through to production operation
Design, deploy and maintain AI agents and agentic workflows to support operations and decision-making
Ensure AI systems are powered by clean, well-modelled and trustworthy people data, with strong intuition for AI failure modes and how to constrain systems for reliability.
Collaborate with the People Systems Analyst to define and maintain a People systems roadmap aligned to SafetyCulture’s growth plans, including build vs buy vs integrate decisions as part of broader system architecture.
Debug issues across data pipelines, integrations, automations and AI workflows, continuously improving reliability, scalability and efficiency.
Collaborate with Security and Legal stakeholders to assess and manage risk associated with AI solutions, including data access, vendor assessment, and compliance requirements
Apply working knowledge of privacy principles as they apply to People data and AI systems.
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. IT, Security, Finance, Commercial Operations, Engineering) to validate solution fit and deliver initiatives that span team boundaries.
Develop enablement materials and support adoption of new tools and systems across P&C and the broader business.
Required Skills & Experience:
Experience & technical skills:
Hands-on experience designing and implementing end-to-end AI-enabled solutions, including practical experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, or AI orchestration/agent frameworks in a production environment.
Demonstrated experience building and deploying AI agents and multi-step agentic workflows in production environments.
Comfort with engineering fundamentals such as version control, testing and deployment practices
Hands-on experience designing and implementing workflow automations across systems, including use of low-code/no-code automation tools.
Strong working knowledge of systems architecture, integrations and scalable system design. Familiarity with HRIS platforms (e.g. HiBob) is considered a plus.
Track record of identifying process inefficiencies and implementing improvements that increase efficiency and scalability.
Proven experience building dashboards and data products to generate clear, actionable insights for stakeholders.
Understanding of how data flows across interconnected systems, thinking in end-to-end workflows rather than isolated tools.
Working knowledge of privacy principles as they apply to People data and AI systems.
Demonstrated experience partnering with cross-functional stakeholders (e.g. IT, Security, Finance, Engineering) to deliver technical initiatives.
Experience in a P&C/HR context is preferred but not required.
Mindsets and behaviours:
Automation-first: You treat manual work as a temporary state and default to building systems that eliminate it.
Ownership-oriented: You default to action and take end-to-end responsibility for delivery, from prototype to production operation.
Systems thinker: You optimise the whole, not the parts — considering downstream impacts of schema, logic or automation changes.
Pragmatic: You balance speed with long-term reliability, focused on outcomes over demos.
Strong communicator: Able to translate technical concepts for non-technical audiences and develop adoption-focused enablement materials.
High ambiguity tolerance: Comfortable working with messy inputs and translating unclear business questions into well-structured technical solutions.
Collaborative: Strong stakeholder influence and management skills, with a track record of delivering across team boundaries.
