Software Engineer II (Frontend)
Why join us?
Mitti by SafetyCulture is a global tech company, just not the kind you're picturing. Our almost 1,000-person team builds tools that make work better for the three billion frontline workers who keep the world moving. We've got big tech scale, without the sign-off layers or corporate theatre. Every permanent team member gets equity, so when we grow, you do too. This next chapter is about scaling smart, powered by AI, a clear vision and real ownership.
Big tech impact, without the big tech ick.
As a SWE II in the Web Platform & Standards team, you will work on consolidating our frontend codebases into a single monorepo - the foundation for faster, safer and more consistent delivery across every web surface. This role is the connective tissue between the Web Platform team and the product teams whose code is being migrated.
Key responsibilities:
Migrate frontend codebases into the new monorepo, working through them team by team
Partner with product teams to land migrations with minimal disruption - learn their code, agree a plan, and stay with them through cutover
Build the tooling, scripts and documentation that make migration repeatable, so teams can increasingly do it themselves
Improve the day-to-day developer experience of the monorepo - build and continuous integration times, pipeline reliability, and local setup
Keep migration progress and blockers visible to engineering managers and product teams
Grow into independent ownership of a platform area over the first year
Required skills & experience:
Technical skills:
Solid working proficiency in TypeScript and React, producing clean, tested code without close supervision
Comfortable reading and changing code they did not write, including in unfamiliar codebases
Familiar with how a frontend application gets built and shipped - package management, dependency graphs, continuous integration. Basic familiarity is enough; the appetite to learn it properly is what matters
Willing to script or automate repetitive work rather than grind through it by hand
Prior platform, build tooling or infrastructure experience is not required. We are looking for a capable product engineer who wants to move into platform work.
Behavioural skills:
Exceptional written and verbal communication. This role succeeds by changing other people’s code, so clear proposals and honest status updates matter more than in a typical delivery role
Genuinely curious and learns fast; seeks out unfamiliar parts of the stack instead of waiting to be taught
Comfortable with ambiguity - helps define the migration sequence rather than waiting for a complete brief
Takes satisfaction from other teams shipping faster, not from personal feature output
AI skills:
Uses AI coding assistants daily, especially for repetitive refactors across many packages - a core lever for this work
Uses AI to get up to speed on unfamiliar codebases quickly
Can sanity-check AI-generated code and knows when not to trust it
