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.
Real-Time Operations (RTO) is a key business line and strategic priority for Axon, focused on transforming public safety with products like Fusus and Axon Respond. Our goal is ambitious: to become the real-time platform for collaboration between communities and law enforcement, connecting first responders and businesses with tools that enhance response, improve safety, and support Axon’s mission to Protect Life.
Better information leads to better decisions, and our tools empower responders in critical moments where every second can mean lives. You will be directly contributing to Axon’s moonshot goal: to cut gun-related deaths between the police and the public by 50% in 10 years.
You will be at the core of our real-time offerings, delivering real-time information from hundreds of sources—cameras, drones, vehicles, alarm systems, GPS trackers, and more—to help first responders plan and respond more effectively. This includes Axon’s own devices (Axon Body, Axon Fleet, Axon Air, TASER, and more future products) as well as those from third-party partners. You will be responsible for every “dot” on the map, the live video feeds from those dots, and the infrastructure that powers critical decision-making—enabling alerts, video streams, collaboration, insights, camera activations, policy-based sharing between communities and public safety, and beyond. You will be responsible to work backwards from the end experience to build the right real-time pipeline and video streaming platform, challenging our existing experiences and architecture, all in pursuit of building the right solution for customers.
You will need to have a deep understanding of our end users—first responders, dispatchers, and their support teams—as well as the environments in which they operate. Working closely with product design and engineering, you’ll tackle problems from first principles to create and manage a roadmap that enables our users to perform their jobs more effectively and make a lasting impact in communities worldwide. You will be unafraid to challenge
To succeed, you must have experience building scalable solutions for thousands of customers. You must be experienced with IoT, real-time pipelines, and video streaming technologies. You must be principled in approaching strategic trade-offs, evaluating when to expand the platform to address new challenges and when to enhance existing features. Ultimately, you have, over and over again, owned initiatives from concept to delivery, ensuring that your capabilities were adopted by users and drive meaningful impact, not just something purchased by buyers.
Location: Work from home as much as you want, live nearby any of our awesome US R&D Hubs (Seattle, Scottsdale, Atlanta, or Boston) so you can easily collab in-person when it’s helpful and be an active part of our vibrant Axon culture.
