Responsibilities
You are a Staff Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of technical leadership, rapid product discovery, and customer obsession.
On Enterprise, you’ll help Axon identify and prove new product-market fit by building high-leverage proof-of-concepts with real customer workflows, then laying the technical foundation to evolve the best concepts into secure, scalable, production-ready products across the Axon ecosystem.
You bring strong system design judgment and an outcomes-first mindset: you know when to move fast with a prototype, how to design experiments that de-risk big bets, and how to translate learnings into durable architectures teams can build on.
You’re a force multiplier—raising the technical bar through design reviews, mentoring, and cross-team alignment—and you partner deeply with Product Management and customer development partners to ensure we build the right thing, the right way.
Come help build the next generation of enterprise capabilities that extend Axon’s ecosystem and deliver meaningful impact for public safety.
