• Provide hands‑on assistance with the detailed design and implementation approach of selected engagements
• Demonstrate product and technical leadership on Axon 911's projects with customers and partners
• Assist delivery teams with deploying technical solutions, developing code, and resolving technical issues as required

What You Bring:

• Experience in a technical role in the public safety industry
• Architectural mindset – the ability to view the solution in multiple levels and from multiple viewpoints
• Extensive experience in a Professional Services environment engaging with executive stakeholders, solution architects, and extended program teams
• Vast experience with AWS and Azure Cloud Platform and Automation
• Experience with cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) / platform as a service (PaaS), microservices, and Docker containers
• Proven experience in business analysis, requirements gathering, and designing and implementing solutions
• Fundamental experience with Cisco collaboration solutions, deployment, and best practices
• Proven knowledge and experience in networking and full knowledge of the OSI model and deep understanding of 1-7 Network Layers
• Deep understanding and knowledge in VoIP and Streaming Technologies: SIP, RTSP, RTMP, SIP-to-PSTN gateways, SIP Trunk, WebRTC
• Experience with configuring routers and firewalls
• Must be flexible to work with global teams and working on different time zones
