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.</p> <p>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 care as much about security, identity, and auditability as you do about latency and error budgets, and you are comfortable working in highly regulated environments where correctness, traceability, and least privilege are non‑negotiable.</p> <p>This role is highly cross‑functional. 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.</p> <p><strong>Location -</strong> This role is based out of our Boston office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success.</p> <h3>What You’ll Do</h3> <ul> <li>Drive the Zero Touch platform <ul> <li>Lead the design and implementation of Zero Touch, Axon’s controlled, compliant execution framework for operational and change workflows.</li> <li>Define opinionated workflows, APIs, and abstractions that allow engineers to execute infrastructure and application changes safely, repeatably, and with strong guardrails.</li> <li>Embed policy‑as‑code, approvals, and audit trails into the fr
