Our mission is to protect life.

We’re out to make the world a safer place by solving big problems and taking on the public safety challenges of our time. From our company's inception building the TASER device to a full suite of hardware and software solutions, we are focused on providing police agencies with state-of-the-art devices and services they need to successfully serve and protect us. In the next few years, we're going to eliminate the burden of paperwork in policing, so officers can increase the time they spend building relationships and serving in their communities. We’ll put video at the heart of police records so our justice system can get to the truth faster. And we won't stop innovating until the bullet is rendered obsolete.
It’s a big mission, but it’s one we’ll pursue relentlessly every single day.

Location: Seattle, WA

Our Team
In Digital Evidence Management System team (DEMS), we are solving some of the hardest cloud challenges today. We manage 100+ petabytes of video and other digital evidence from hundreds of thousands of officers around the world.
In today’s world, few cloud based systems are truly isolated from interaction with other systems or services. Axon’s advantage is the ease with which customers can deploy custom solutions and integrate Axon services with other systems they have in place to meet their core needs. Our goal is to expand Axon’s existing platform APIs, enabling richer evidence storage, access and management capabilities for our customers through programmatic API access. We are reimagining what data partnerships and API access means for our customers, and how we can help them address their challenges more rapidly, more efficiently, and at a larger scale than ever before.
Your Impact
In this role, you will be building a new team within Axon’s software engineering organization. Currently the team exists but is not fully staffed and has open headcount for you to fill out the team.
As an engineering leader, you will drive the technical vision for your team, guiding them on architectural decisions and setting a high bar for standards of excellence. You will be joining forces with product management and product design to understand the customer outcomes that need to be achieved. You will be empowered to build a high-performing engineering team that is customer-obsessed and encompasses a strong engineering culture.
