Your Impact

The Real Time Operations division at Axon is on a mission to provide the best-in-class situational awareness software to emergency responders in order to make them more effective and efficient in managing life-and-death situations. As a staff software engineer, you will be joining a brand new team in our London R&D office that is focused on building a fast and performant real-time maps application that can ingest real-time signals from devices at scale, and provide emergency responders with the features and functionality to focus on the most pertinent information for dealing with the situation at hand. You will take the lead for designing and building critical systems across the cloud, web, and mobile to direct first responders to where they are most needed.
