Sr. Product Manager, Vehicle Intelligence

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

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.

Your Impact

We’re building Axon Outpost, a new frontier in public safety technology. This first-generation, first-party fixed ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition) device takes the proven intelligence of Axon’s body-worn and in-car systems and expands it into the off-grid domain. Solar-powered, AI-enabled, and always connected, Outpost is designed to operate autonomously in the harshest environments—transforming how law enforcement agencies and communities gather intelligence and act on threats in real time.

Outpost is more than a camera—it’s a smart node in a safety network, providing situational awareness that empowers public safety professionals to protect life, solve crime, and further justice. Whether it’s tracking stolen vehicles, identifying suspects in violent crime, or strengthening community protection efforts through HOAs and enterprises, Outpost works in tandem with Axon’s suite of tools and the Fusus real-time crime center platform to deliver actionable intelligence when and where it matters most.

We’re looking for a Software Product Manager to lead definition and delivery of product features across the embedded and cloud-connected software surfaces of Outpost. This is a critical role that bridges engineering, customer needs, and long-term strategy—ensuring we ship capabilities that are technically sound, operationally valuable, and scalable across future generations of the platform.

What You’ll Do

Location: This role is based out of our Boston or Seattle 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.
