Software Engineer II

Overview

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.

On the Real Time Operations (RTO) Integrations team, we are accelerating the adoption of the Axon Fusus product as the go-to real-time crime center platform. We are building a team that delivers scalable integrations with hundreds of partners to enable critical workflows for our customers. These integrations are a critical part of the Axon Fusus ecosystem and include everything from Cameras, Drones, Vehicle Location, License Plate Readers, Record Management Systems (RMS), Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems, and much more.

As a Software Engineer II, you’ll contribute across the full stack — implementing backend services and frontend components — and work closely with software engineers, product managers, and designers to ensure the solutions we deliver are highly available and enable Professional Services teams to manage deployment and installation with minimal engineering support. You’ll work with integration partners to understand the varying needs of new agencies we are launching and implement new features end-to-end.

You’ll also help shape engineering standards and contribute to the team’s ongoing growth and maturity.

Join us to work with a passionate, mission-driven group of folks who want to positively impact the lives of first responders and those that they serve.
