Staff Full Stack Software Engineer (Frontend-Focused)

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.

Responsibilities

• Define the client architecture strategy for RTO: how we build, compose, and ship client experiences so Axon can deliver unique workflows and experiences at scale across a broad set of market verticals and international regions.
• Shape how the platform supports configurability and extensibility, so vertical- and region-specific experiences can be built on a shared foundation rather than forked or rebuilt for each market.
• Drive client reliability, performance, and quality at scale, owning the bar for load times, error rates, observability, and resilience for mission-critical real-time experiences serving a rapidly growing global user base.
• Lead the use of AI-assisted engineering across the client development lifecycle, establishing reusable workflows, review protocols, and quality gates that make AI adoption practical and safe across teams.
• Review key designs and architecture from engineers across RTO and partner teams, enforcing a high bar on availability, performance, maintainability, and usability.
• Mentor and grow senior engineers, acting as a force multiplier who develops the next set of technical leaders for the organization.
• Partner closely with product, design, and engineering leaders to translate roadmap goals across verticals and regions into sound technical strategy and durable architecture.

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of technical leadership at the Staff or Principal level.
• Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
• Proven experience designing and building systems that scale to millions of users, with depth that spans the full stack rather than the frontend alone.
• Deep frontend expertise: strong command of TypeScript and modern frameworks (Angular and/or React), and experience defining frontend architecture at scale (modular package ecosystems or module federation, shared component libraries, build and delivery systems).
• Experience building configurable or extensible platforms that serve multiple customer segments, verticals, or regions on a common foundation.
• Demonstrated, daily use of AI-assisted engineering tools across the development lifecycle, with the judgment to validate output against quality, security, and performance standards.
• A customer-obsessed mindset, with the ability to walk in the user's shoes across diverse markets and balance competing business and engineering priorities.
• A high standard of excellence and a genuine curiosity for raising the capabilities of the engineers around you.

Qualifications

• First-principles thinker who reasons about systems from the ground up rather than by analogy to what already exists, and who can frame the right long-term architecture amid ambiguity.
• Strong, structured communication and the ability to influence engineering and product leaders across team and pillar boundaries.
