Cloud-based worker safety platform for industrial and hazardous environments
Safety io builds cloud and IoT applications for workplace safety, with a TypeScript/Node.js frontend stack backed by AWS, PostgreSQL, and Snowflake. Active projects center on test automation, data platform development (Snowflake + dbt), and data governance — suggesting a maturing engineering organization shifting from product-only to data-driven operations. The hiring mix (5 engineers, 1 data, 1 design) reflects this balance between core product delivery and infrastructure maturation.
Safety io, a subsidiary of MSA The Safety Company founded in 2018, develops cloud-based software for worker and worksite safety in high-risk industrial environments.
