Job summary

Axon is seeking a senior technical leader to own architecture and delivery for data migrations, conversions, and integrations across multiple product lines. Lead solution engineering teams to build reusable frameworks, standardize data mapping, and enforce governance for sensitive public-safety data.

Partner with Product, R&D, and PSO to align roadmap and pricing while driving scalable, tool-agnostic integration capabilities.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent hands-on experience)
10+ years leading technical delivery, integration, or migration teams, including 5+ years in hands-on architecture, systems, programming, and/or build capacity.
Demonstrated experience designing and building data migration/conversion platforms or frameworks at scale — not just running individual migration projects
Deep technical fluency in ETL/ELT design, data modeling, schema mapping, API-based and event-driven integration patterns, and data quality/validation frameworks
Familiarity with AI/ML-assisted data mapping, entity resolution, or automated schema inference to accelerate conversion work
Direct experience with one or more enterprise data integration/migration platforms (e.g., Informatica, MuleSoft, Fivetran, Talend, Databricks, Snowflake, Palantir Foundry, Boomi, SnapLogic, Workato, AWS Glue/DMS)
Strong SQL and data pipeline scripting ability (Python or equivalent); technical enough to personally review architecture and code-level decisions, not just manage the people who make them
Experience leading legacy system decommissioning and cutover at scale, with a track record of minimizing customer downtime and data‑loss risk
Proven ability to build and scale technical teams, including hiring and developing data/integration engineers and solution architects
Excellent written and verbal communication; able to translate deep technical tradeoffs for executive, sales, and customer audiences

Responsibilities

Owns the technical architecture and execution for data migrations, conversions, and integrations across Records, Standards, Gravity, and Vision — replacing ad hoc approaches with reusable frameworks and tooling
Partners with Product to design and build a modern migration/integration platform — ETL/ELT pipelines, schema-mapping and transformation tooling, data quality/validation frameworks
Leads data solution engineering and solution architecture teams responsible for legacy CAD/RMS data extraction, evidence and case data conversion, camera network/device integration (Fusus), and interoperability standards
Establishes common data mapping, transformation, and validation standards so a single pattern serves multiple products
Partners with Product and R&D to build roadmap changes so migration complexity is designed into new products
Defines and enforces data governance, security, and chain-of-custody requirements for sensitive data
Builds a build-vs-buy point for tooling and evaluates platforms to decide what to build in-house vs license
Establishes KPIs for migration/conversion velocity, data quality, defect rates, and time-to-go-live
Builds, mentors, and scales a team of data engineers and solution architects
Partners with PSO delivery leadership, Sales, and Mission Engineering/Operator teams to align capacity and pricing
Stays current on data tooling, AI-assisted mapping, and public-safety interoperability standards
Establishes a third-party partnership strategy to build API pipelines and integration processes
