Mission Engineer - Seattle

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

This isn't a relationship management role — it's an ownership role. Sharp. Adaptable. Unstoppable.

You won't wait to be asked. You'll identify what's broken before it becomes a problem, build solutions that didn't exist yesterday, and earn the kind of trust that makes you indispensable to the agency — and to Axon.

In this embedded, agency-facing role, you will serve as the primary owner of customer outcomes within a strategic account, accountable for the end-to-end lifecycle of Axon's ecosystem. You combine deep technical expertise, builder instinct, operational leadership, and executive presence to help agencies transform how they operate — not just adopt software.

Agencies don't need another vendor. They need a partner who changes how the work gets done. As a Mission Engineer, you are mission-anchored: success is measured by the agency's operational outcomes, not product health alone. You will proactively diagnose workflow friction, design and build compliant solutions within Axon's responsible innovation framework, and drive adoption of what you create — while sitting face-to-face with the people doing the work.

Acting as a trusted advisor and onsite partner, you bring together deployment, technical execution, workflow optimization, AI-enabled capabilities, adoption, and executive engagement into one cohesive customer experience. You create feedback loops that influence product strategy, reusable playbooks, and future platform capabilities.

The result: measurable mission outcomes, stronger partnerships, accelerated adoption, and continuous learning that improves both customer success and Axon's products.

What You’ll Do

This role is intentionally undefined in the day-to-day. Priorities shift with agency mission tempo, operational crises, and emerging opportunities. If you need a fixed playbook to succeed, this isn't the role for yo
