Mission Engineer - Overland Park, Ks

Axon Axon · Enterprise · United States · 1570 GSS TAM SW

This role involves building and deploying AI-powered solutions (agents, workflows, RAG, evaluations) within customer environments, focusing on end-to-end ownership of the lifecycle from discovery to adoption and success. The engineer will integrate and extend Axon's platform, including AI Era, agents, and data tools, to solve specific agency problems and drive operational transformation, with a strong emphasis on delivering working software and measurable outcomes.

What you'd actually do

  1. Discover agency problems onsite and translate them into buildable, compliant solutions tied to mission outcomes
  2. Design and ship working tools on Axon's platform: AI agents, workflows, automations, integrations, and data pipelines — built and tested with real users and real data
  3. Build and deploy AI-powered workflows (agents, prompts, RAG, evaluations) that solve defined agency problems — not generic experimentation
  4. Assess workflows onsite, identify friction and mission impact, and define what to build before you build it
  5. Troubleshoot onsite and coordinate root-cause resolution across Product, Engineering, Support, and Services when builds or integrations break
