YOUR IMPACTYou aren’t like everybody else. You aim a little higher. You reach a little further. Your experience is much broader than just a previous career or a few past jobs. You've been listening, learning, and paying attention to recent events which have demonstrated to you why building world-class technology for Public Safety is so important. You do more because it matters to you. And when it comes to looking for that next opportunity, you want to do work that matters to others.
At Axon, we build connected devices such as body cameras powered by an industry-leading digital evidence management platform. Our hardware, software, and training platforms bring security, efficiency, and transparency to law enforcement and are enabling us to truly change the world.

You will drive the product and content vision, roadmap, and customer experience around these efforts, including scenario selection and development, real-time interactions between participants and characters, avatar systems, narrative systems, and the integration of different weapons and tools into the simulations.
