This role is highly cross‑functional. You will collaborate with staff and senior engineers across product and platform teams to shape how we build, deploy, secure, and operate Axon's cloud systems in a modern, AI‑driven environment.
Drive the Zero Touch platform
Lead the design and implementation of Zero Touch, Axon's controlled, compliant execution framework for operational and change workflows.
Define opinionated workflows, APIs, and abstractions that allow engineers to execute infrastructure and application changes safely, repeatably, and with strong guardrails.
Embed policy‑as‑code, approvals, and audit trails into the framework so that compliance requirements are enforced by default, not as an afterthought.
Drive identity and security posture improvements
Partner with Identity, Security, and Platform teams to design secure patterns for authentication, authorization, and workload identity across cloud platforms.
Define and standardize how services integrate with SSO/OIDC, RBAC, secrets management, certificate management, and key management so that platform workflows and APIs are identity‑aware and least‑privilege by design.
Improve Axon's overall security posture by building primitives (e.g., policy engines, IAM baselines, secure-by-default templates) that can be reused across teams.
Join Forces on our dual‑cloud infrastructure modernization
Design and build dual‑cloud infrastructure abstractions (e.g., Terraform/CDK modules, platform services, deployment patterns) that allow Axon to run workloads consistently across providers while respecting regional and regulatory constraints.
Align these workflows with our dual‑cloud strategy so that multi‑region and multi‑cloud operations, failover, and rollout patterns are safe and repeatable.
Build platform abstractions that reduce operational burden
Design scalable, multi‑tenant platform services (e.g., deployment pipelines, runtime execution environments, policy engines, observability primitives) that turn recurring operational work into reusable capabilities.
Define clear golden paths and reference implementations for common patterns (e.g., service onboarding, change rollout, incident response automation) that raise the baseline for reliability, security, and developer experience.
Provide architectural and technical leadership
Drive architectural decisions for platform and infrastructure initiatives, balancing long‑term strategy with immediate business needs.
Collaborate with other staff and senior engineers to set technical direction for Axon's reliability, security, and automation strategy, especially around our execution platform and identity.
Mentor and grow engineers across multiple teams, acting as a force multiplier by raising the technical bar and improving how we design, secure, and operate systems.
