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.
Your Impact
As the Engineering Manager for Mobile, you will lead and grow the team that designs the technology powering Axon Device Manager, Axon Device Checkout, and the Fleet 3 Dashboard—mobile IoT applications that connect Axon devices to officers in the field, promoting transparency and protecting truth worldwide. Looking ahead, this role is scoped for expansion: you will help define and staff the next wave of Axonʼs mobile offerings, consolidating experiences where it makes sense and scaling our platform to support additional applications and features still on the roadmap.
You'll collaborate daily with software engineers, product managers, designers, and a Release Manager to turn bold product concepts into secure, reliable mobile and frontend experiences. Your deep expertise in Android, iOS, or modern frontend development (React, TypeScript), along with broad knowledge of modern application architecture, release practices, and observability, will enable you to set technical direction, unblock delivery, and raise the bar on code quality and system design. Based in Ho Chi Minh City, you'll lead a team of engineers in Vietnam while partnering closely with peer engineering leaders and product teams in the U.S., fostering a culture of innovation and continuous learning that accelerates feature velocity without compromising quality and stability.
Our mobile products are already trusted by major agencies across the globe. Under your leadership, enhanced mobile capabilities—real-time video streaming, AI-driven insights, and seamless device management—will unlock even more value for new and existing customers. The software you shepherd to market will empower officers to act faster, capture truth, and ultimately Protect Life.
Where You’'ll Work
**Work Location: **This role is based out of our Ho Chi Minh 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.
