- Experience in Kubernetes-based data workloads, operators, or stateful services.
- Familiarity with multi-region architectures, data residency, and geo-replication patterns.
- Exposure to observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, OpenTelemetry) for data services.
- Relevant certifications in databases, cloud architecture, or security are a plus.
Qualifications:
- Demonstrated success owning the architecture and technical direction of a mission-critical platform or service.
- Strong customer empathy and a track record of working directly with users or customers to solve complex technical problems.

Please note that this email address is for accommodation purposes only. Axon will not respond to inquiries for other purposes.
Phishing alert: Axon will never ask you to pay for any part of the hiring process, including training, equipment, or background checks. We do not make job offers via text message, WhatsApp, or instant messaging platforms without a formal interview process. All legitimate job openings are listed on our official careers page at https://www.axon.com/careers. If you receive a suspicious offer or outreach from an email address that is not @axon.com, or if you are asked for sensitive personal information (bank details, Social Security Number) prematurely, please ignore the message and report it to recruitingops@axon.com.
