Software Engineer I, Enterprise New Markets

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Enterprise New Markets team, you will lead the design and delivery of complex systems that help Axon explore, validate, and scale new enterprise product ideas - with a focus on healthcare. You’ll take ownership of translating ambiguous problem spaces into well-architected solutions, balancing rapid experimentation with the durability required for production-grade software.

This role sits at the intersection of technical leadership and product discovery in healthcare workflows. You’ll work closely with Product Managers, designers, and customers to shape technical approaches that span EHR integrations, devices, and AI-powered experiences, and iterate quickly based on real-world clinical and operational feedback. As concepts mature, you’ll help evolve proofs-of-concept into scalable systems that integrate deeply with Axon’s platform and with healthcare systems of record.

You operate in an AI-first engineering environment, where you leverage advanced AI systems to inform design decisions, accelerate development, and improve system reliability. As a senior engineer, you are expected to raise the technical bar for the team - owning complex systems end-to-end, influencing technical direction, coordinating work across engineers, driving adoption of AI-enabled engineering practices, and modeling strong engineering practices as we identify and build the next generation of enterprise products for Axon customers in healthcare and adjacent industries. What You’ll Do

Work Location: This role is based out of our Scottsdale Arizona 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.
