Job summary

Axon is seeking aSenior Software Engineer II in TASER Data Science for Scottsdale, AZ. You will own production ML deployment, data pipelines, and dashboards that drive training and analytics for law enforcement contexts.

You will push for reliable production systems, work across hardware telemetry and data science, and help scale models to real-world usage while shaping engineering practices and cross-team collaboration.

Qualifications

• Write production-grade Python, strongly typed and well tested.
• Deploy and operate ML systems in production with monitoring and reliability.
• Define technical roadmaps and drive direction with limited guidance.
• Experience with real-world device logs and event streams.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship data products: dashboards, metrics systems, and recommendation tools that drive real decisions.
• Own production ML deployment — bring models from research to reliable production systems with monitoring, versioning, and operational rigor.
• Build and own data pipelines from TASER device telemetry through to analytics surfaces used by agencies and internal stakeholders.
• Set technical direction for the team's engineering practices — the data scientists here write code and want to do it better; you'll be the senior engineering voice they've been missing.
• Work across the full stack — device-side data ingestion through user-facing analytics — and move between projects to build breadth.
• Use AI tools as a core part of your development workflow, not a novelty.
