About The Position

Axon's NIBRS and Compliance team is looking for an Engineering Manager who will lead a squad of software engineers. That squad builds, certifies, and continually improves NIBRS and other compliance reporting capabilities (e.g., crash, citation, and state supplemental reporting) in Axon's public safety records management and data platforms. This work automates officer workflows, delivers real-time validation, and enables agencies to submit state and federal crime reports as well as other compliance reporting requirements. Axon has led the global effort to protect life through electric weapons, body cameras, real-time sensors, public safety software products, and AI tools. Axon is uniquely positioned to tie together every aspect of an incident so agencies can prepare, respond, deliver justice, support officers, and increase community safety. As manager of this team, you will stay close to the work, raise the bar on how the team operates, grow the engineers who do it, and set a clear vision for the next generation of NIBRS and compliance engineering capabilities at Axon.

Requirements

Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder programs from start to finish, including work that spans product, engineering, and external agencies or regulators.
Managerial experience with developing teams, and anticipating future demand.
Effective communication with both technical and non-technical people, including clients and internal leaders
Demonstrated ability to improve team operations, quality, and delivery.
Experience developing and/or maintaining production systems; familiarity with TypeScript/JavaScript, Python or similar.
Must pass a Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) background check and maintain confidential and highly sensitive information.

Nice To Haves

NIBRS, UCR, and/or other compliance reporting (crash, citation, use of force, traffic stop, etc.) experience is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

Lead a squad of NIBRS and compliance engineers; stay close to current work, constraints, and customer/state program commitments so you can coach, unblock, and make sound tradeoffs.
Responsible for technical and domain details: NIBRS submission and validation frameworks, state-specific implementations, certification paths, and a high bar for quality, performance, and compliance accuracy on production systems.
Identify challenges, propose solutions, and seek feedback from leadership, R&D, and agency/state stakeholders.
Own and continually improve how the team operates: planning, execution, reviews, incident and certification follow-through, and processes that support deployment and evolution at scale.
Accountable to leadership for resource allocation, delivery, and team performance.
Mentor engineers on the team; set clear expectations, give frequent feedback, and grow the team as certification scope and product surface area expand.
Partner with R&D and Product Enablement so national and state compliance reporting requirements are implemented in Axon's records management system.
Define where the engineering team goes next (states, report types, automation, and platform capabilities) and translate that vision into a sequenced roadmap with leadership.
