Your Impact

We are Axon Platform X (APX) , a group of dedicated product professionals that own, build and operate the mission critical services and capabilities that Axon products need like authentication, evidentiary chain of trust, evidence storage, and x-platform cloud foundations. Our customers are Axon products like Evidence.com, Axon Records, Axon Real Time Operations and Axon Devices (TASER and Connected Cameras) that use our services and APIs to execute the mission of protecting life, reducing social conflict, and building a fair and effective justice system.

The capabilities that APX owns are the heart and lungs for all Axon products. We protect customer trust by securely authenticating users, systems, and first / third party apps as well as enforcing permissions within all Axon products. We ingest and manage well over 100PB of digital evidence from Axon products like body cameras as well as third party sources, securely storing data for later evidentiary use. APX sets the standards and leads the way for the entire company on operational excellence, incident response, and service reliability engineering. We ensure our systems are highly reliable, scalable, and cost efficient - in support of all world-wide Axon products and services. Every important event of note within Axon products leaves an imprint through our audit services, ensuring trust in our evidence as it moves through the criminal justice system.

As a senior engineer on the team, you will be intimately involved in the architecture decisions that will shape Axon infrastructure. You live and breathe cloud services that require high availability and fast, consistent performance. You love working with the latest open source technologies, and can leverage your system design skills to make the right technical decisions on a system that needs to be bullet-proof. Not only can you drive decisions among competing engineering trade-offs, your empathy with customers allows you to intuit innovative solutions for our customer problems. You will be working closely with product managers and designers to ensure we are building the right solution for our customers. You also enjoy mentoring other engineers, and love to be a hands-on teacher helping to up level the engineers around you.
