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. Your Impact Today, public safety officers spend up to 2/3 of their time on the job filling out paperwork (sometimes with paper, sometimes with floppy disks). Not only is this tedious for officers, but the never-ending pile of paperwork reduces the amount of time they can spend out in the field, protecting their communities. Axon Records cuts down on paperwork so that officers can spend more time prioritizing the safety of our communities. On the Axon Records Discovery Squad, we’re building a high-performance, scalable search and insights platform to help law enforcement officers find accurate, relevant information for all of the questions they have on the job. Imagine the year 2030. Advanced technology has automated more and more routine tasks to put officers back in the community, dramatically improving the quality and safety of our lives. Public safety officers have everything available at their fingertips- empowering them to seamlessly connect the dots and get the answers they need, when they need them, to most effectively protect life. As a Senior Engineer on the Discovery Squad, you’ll work closely with software engineers, product managers and designers to ensure the Records data is easy for users to locate and analyze. You’ll work on major technical projects with large data volumes, lead the implementation of new features, and help shape our team culture and engineering processes. Join us to work with a passionate, mission-driven group of folks who want to positively impact the lives of first responders and those that they serve.
