Responsibilities

You are a Staff Site Reliability Engineer who will help define how Axon builds and operates its core platforms, with a primary focus on Zero Touch, our controlled, compliant execution framework, and the identity and security foundations that sit around it.

Rather than manually provisioning infrastructure or running tickets, you design and build the platforms, tooling, and guardrails that enable hundreds of engineers to operate safely and efficiently at scale.

You bring a strong background in infrastructure and platform engineering, deep experience with distributed systems, and a bias toward automation, self-service, and policy-by-default.

You think in terms of APIs, workflows, and golden paths, not servers and scripts.

You will collaborate with staff and senior engineers across product and platform teams to shape how we build, deploy, secure, and operate Axon’s cloud systems in a modern, AI‑driven environment.

Lead the design and implementation of Zero Touch, Axon’s controlled, compliant execution framework for operational and change workflows.
