Mission Engineer - Vancouver, British Columbia

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

This role involves building and deploying AI-powered workflows, agents, and integrations directly within customer environments (agencies). The engineer will translate agency problems into buildable solutions using Axon's AI platform, focusing on shipping working software and driving adoption. Responsibilities include end-to-end ownership of deployment, adoption, and optimization, with a strong emphasis on applying responsible innovation guardrails and measuring real-world impact.

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

  • Comfort working across technical and operational domains: hardware, software, cloud, AI-enabled technologies, and integrated systems
  • Strong communication with both technical teams and senior stakeholders, including command staff in mission-critical environments
