You can instill new ideas into our engineering architecture and organization to help lead us into the next phase of scale and growth of our Records Management system.

You have a strong understanding of software development principles and practices — you’ve successfully led projects from conception through deployment, ensuring high-quality deliverables. Your experience includes working collaboratively with cross-functional teams, and you are adept at communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. You are committed to continuous learning and growth, always seeking to improve your skills and the processes around you.

You are passionate about making a positive impact on society — you understand the critical safety and justice issues that Axon addresses and are motivated by the mission to protect life. You value diverse perspectives and foster an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute their best work. You are a proactive problem solver who enjoys tackling challenges head-on and finding innovative solutions.

Desirable

Experience with cloud technologies and services, particularly AWS, is a plus.
