About The Position

Join Axon and be a Force for Good. At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other. Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter. About Prepared As of October 1, 2025, Prepared has officially joined forces with Axon—a major milestone for both our team and the public safety community. United by a shared mission to Protect Life, Axon and Prepared are ushering in a new era of AI-powered emergency communications. Together, we’re closing the gap between the first call for help and resolution in the field—empowering responders with the clarity they need when every second counts. 911 is the backbone of public safety in America. But for too long, the professionals answering our calls have been let down by outdated technology. Prepared exists to change that. Since launching in 2021, we’ve used cutting-edge AI to help streamline millions of emergency calls across 49 states—supporting over 90 million people and transforming what's possible in crisis response. At Prepared, you’re not just joining a team—you’re helping shape the future of emergency services and building a safer, more connected world. Position Overview We are seeking passionate and experienced frontend engineers with a strong focus on resiliency, real-time responsiveness, and seamless integration across web and desktop platforms. This is an opportunity to join a small, growing engineering team (currently ~40 engineers) and make a large impact while operating with a high degree of autonomy and ownership. While most legacy software in 911 centers is clunky and outdated, we are dedicated to crafting seamless and intuitive user experiences that support the critical work that our users are doing every day. This role is pivotal in driving the development of scalable, reusable, and high-performance user interfaces. You’ll work closely with design and engineering teams to craft delightful user experiences while ensuring that our codebase is clean, maintainable, and future-proof. As an early member of the team, you will also play a key role in shaping the foundation of Prepared’s engineering culture.
