In the Axon's Platform team, we're solving some of the hardest cloud challenges today. We provide the underlying system that ingests tens of petabytes of video from hundreds of thousands of officers around the world. We ensure that these videos are uploaded accurately, stored safely and permanently, and with audit-logging to track chain of custody and use. We also handle a growing set of other types of evidence: audio, photographs, sensor streams, you name it. We are one of the world's largest customers of Blob storage.

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Platform team, you'll lead coding, configuration management, and code reviews. You'll be responsible for datastore optimization and long-term choices to standardize Axon's datastore platform. You'll build out an automated k8s-based platform to manage the lifecycle of datastore technologies and develop a platform that vends datastore solutions and promotes best-practice utilization patterns.

This role requires a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or Engineering (or relevant work experience), with 10+ years of professional software development experience. You should have experience designing complex systems at scale, working with microservice architectures, and cloud-hosted services. Knowledge of observability platforms, various datastore solutions, and IaC platforms is essential.

Axon offers competitive compensation, including base pay, bonus, and stock awards. The starting base pay for this role ranges from USD 153,600 to USD 230,400, depending on the geographic market. We also provide comprehensive benefits to support you physically, financially, and emotionally.

At Axon, we value diversity and inclusion. We encourage applications from candidates who may not meet every qualification but are excited about our mission to Protect Life. Join us in our mission to create a safer, better world through innovative technology and committed team members like you.
