Note: This role is centered on cloud-native platform engineering and software-backed automation. It is a weaker match if your experience is primarily traditional enterprise network operations (for example campus switching or appliance-only administration) without substantial Kubernetes operations, software delivery, or infrastructure-as-code. ## Description Work Location: This role is based out of our Seattle 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 What You'll Do * Work on a mixed infrastructure and software team that owns critical platform networking for Axon's cloud systems: mesh and ingress, TLS and certificate automation, DNS and edge routing, and the automation that keeps those paths safe and observable. * Advance Axon's use of Istio-style service mesh patterns that underpin how we scale-building features, hardening what runs in production, and improving how we roll out change. * Act as a builder and operator: ship infrastructure-as-code and software-backed controls, steward components that must meet strict regulatory expectations (including FedRAMP where applicable), and address vulnerabilities with timely, disciplined change. * Advise software engineers through design reviews, ad hoc questions, and pair programming when connectivity, ingress, mesh, or TLS behavior is on the critical path. * Automate operations so the platform stays highly available (targeting four-nines-class reliability for these components). Example: TLS certificate management and automation at scale-where small mistakes can become customer-visible outages if left manual., The above job description is not intended as, nor should it be construed as, exhaustive of all duties, responsibilities, skills, efforts, or working conditions associated with this job.
