Our mission is to protect life.
We’re out to make the world a safer place by solving big problems and taking on the public safety challenges of our time. From our company's inception building the TASER device to a full suite of hardware and software solutions, we are focused on providing police agencies with state-of-the-art devices and services they need to successfully serve and protect us. In the next few years, we're going to eliminate the burden of paperwork in policing, so officers can increase the time they spend building relationships and serving in their communities. We’ll put video at the heart of police records so our justice system can get to the truth faster. And we won't stop innovating until the bullet is rendered obsolete.
It’s a big mission, but it’s one we’ll pursue relentlessly every single day.
Your Impact
Axon Body Worn-cameras are at the heart of our ecosystem built to Protect Life and Capture Truth. We’ve built a fully Cloud connected evidence capture device with advanced software capabilities that keep our customers safe, efficient and effective.

You’ll work collaboratively with product managers, technical program managers, product designers, engineers and our go-to-market teams to own delivery of a high-quality, large scale mission critical-ready system. As your product and features get into customer hands, in beta and in larger scale releases, you’ll be at the heart of capturing their feedback. You’ll synthesize that feedback to plan improvements, fixes and updates, and ready the overall system for launch.
