Senior Site Reliability Engineer I
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose appropriate headings based on content. Likely sections: About the role (intro), Your Impact maybe part of About? Could be "About the role". Responsibilities (What You'll Do). Requirements/Qualifications (What You Bring). Benefits. Pay. Schedule.
We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like bullet points.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, etc. Also remove "Important Notes", "Phishing alert", etc. Also remove "Don’t meet every single requirement?" maybe that's encouraging but could be considered boilerplate? It's not a standard boilerplate but it's more of a motivational note. Might be considered part of the posting but not a list. It's not a duty/requirement/benefit. Could keep as prose? It's not essential but it's part of the posting. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Don’t meet every single requirement?" is not exactly those categories, but it's more of a encouragement. Might be okay to keep as prose under a section like "About the role" or maybe under "Qualifications"? But it's not a qualification. Could be placed under a short paragraph after Qualifications. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; this is substantive? It's encouraging applicants. Might be considered part of the posting but not essential. I'd keep it as a paragraph under a generic section like "About the role" or maybe its own heading "Encouragement"? But we only allowed certain headings list; we could add a heading like "About the role" and include that paragraph there.
We also need to remove duplicated lines. There's no obvious duplication.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's structure:
About the role
Join Axon and be a Force for Good. At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other. Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.
Your ImpactEvery body camera upload. Every piece of digital evidence. Every chain of custody log that holds up in court. That's us. Axon's Platform team is the engine behind what hundreds of thousands of officers rely on every day. We're one of the world's largest blob storage customers, ingesting tens of petabytes of video and that number keeps climbing. Audio, photographs, sensor streams: if it's evidence, we move it, store it, and protect it. We're not in maintenance mode. We're in build mode. We're modernizing from the ground up with Kubernetes native lifecycle management, GitOps driven configuration, and infrastructure as code that actually reflects reality. We run a polyglot datastore environment: relational databases, wide column stores, document stores, caches, and queues and we're building the self service platform that helps every team at Axon pick the right tool and use it well. Kafka moves the data. Terraform provisions the world. Grafana tells us when something's wrong before our users do. You'll set technical direction across all of it. Not just implementing someone else's plan, but making the calls: which datastore patterns we standardize on, how we design for scale and failure, where we invest in automation versus buy versus borrow. You'll partner with teams across Axon who are building on top of our platform, and your architectural fingerprints will be on systems that process evidence for millions of people.
But we need to avoid run-on sentences without spaces? The original had no spaces after periods in "Your ImpactEvery". We should preserve the text exactly? Probably we should keep as is but we can add a space for readability? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Changing punctuation might be considered altering detail? Adding a space is minor but could be considered changing. Safer to keep exactly as given. However the text "Your ImpactEvery" is missing a space; we should keep it as is. Similarly other runs: "We're not in maintenance mode. We're in build mode." fine.
We'll keep paragraphs as given.
Then location and schedule: we have a paragraph: "Location - This role is based out of our Atlanta, Seattle, or Boston office and follows a hybrid schedule. We rely on in-person collaboration and ask that team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Mondays, unless there is an approved workplace accommodation. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success."
We can put that under Schedule heading.
Then Responsibilities: "What You'll Do" bullet list.
We need to convert each line into - . The lines:
- Drive agentic coding workflows, infrastructure as code practices, and technical code reviews across the platform
- Lead long term architectural decisions and standardization efforts for Axon's platform technologies
- Design and build a Kubernetes based platform that automates the lifecycle management of Axon's core infrastructure
- Collaborate with engineering teams across Axon to guide application design patterns as they relate to platform service consumption
- Build and operate a self service platform that vends datastore solutions with well defined, best practice utilization patterns
- Partner directly with application teams to diagnose and resolve datastore performance bottlenecks and optimization opportunities
We'll wrap in
.
Then Qualifications: "What You Bring" bullet list.
Lines:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Engineering; Master's degree a plus
- United States Citizen — able to gain CJIS clearance for full US production access
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience; background in platform automation tooling or developer experience tooling strongly preferred
- Proven ability to design and operate complex distributed systems at scale
- Experience with agentic AI tooling or building LLM-powered developer tools
- Deep experience with microservice architectures and patterns; experience migrating monoliths to microservices is a plus
- Strong command of cloud hosted services and architectures across Azure, AWS, or GCP
- Hands on experience with observability platforms such as Grafana, Datadog, or New Relic
- Familiarity with a range of relational and NoSQL datastores, with the ability to go deep on at least one (e.g., MySQL, Cassandra, PostgreSQL)
- Experience designing and operating message queue systems such as Kafka
- Proficiency with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform or Pulumi
We'll wrap in .
Then Benefits: "Benefits That Benefit You" bullet list.
Lines:
- Competitive salary and 401(k) with employer match
- Discretionary paid time off
- Paid parental leave for all parents
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Fitness programs
- Emotional and mental wellness support
- Learning and development programs
- Snacks in our offices (yes, really)
- Benefits may vary based on employment type and work location.

Pay: Base Pay Range: $134,250 USD - $214,800 USD. Also note about total compensation: "Axon is a total compensation company, meaning compensation is made up of base pay, bonus, and stock awards. The actual base pay is dependent upon many factors, such as: level, function, training, transferable skills, work experience, business needs, geographic market, and often a combination of all these factors." That's substantive about pay. We'll include that as prose under Pay heading.
Schedule: we already have location/hybrid schedule paragraph.
We also have a note about "Our benefits offer an array of options to help support you physically, financially and emotionally through the big milestones and in your everyday life. To see more details on our benefits offerings please visit https://www.axon.com/careers." That's benefits-related but maybe boilerplate? It's a link to more details. Could be considered part of benefits but it's a generic statement. Might be okay to keep as prose under Benefits. However it's somewhat generic; but it's substantive? It's a pointer to more details. Might be considered boilerplate? Not exactly EEO. I'd keep it as a paragraph under Benefits.

We need to avoid duplication: we already have benefits list; the extra sentence about benefits can be a paragraph after the list.
