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.\nLife 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.\nYour Impact\nThis role is for builders who thrive in 0→1. In Axon’s Global Artificial Intelligence pillar, you’ll build a stealth product with a small team and a big mission: deliver something the market hasn’t seen, and do it with pace.\nAs a Senior Software Engineer I, you’ll lead key areas of the product from concept through launch. You’ll make pragmatic architecture decisions, keep quality high while moving fast, and help the team turn prototypes into a scalable product. \nThis is an AI-native delivery role: AI is a primary lever for how you ship, not an add-on and you have true Product acumen and ability to craft and build products end to end. \n\nWhat You’ll Do\nLead the build of major product surfaces and services; own features end-to-end from design to operations.\nDrive product clarity in ambiguity: define the problem, shape MVP scope, set success metrics, and align stakeholders on what “done” means.\nBuild and ship software AI-natively across the SDLC (planning, implementation, testing, code review, debugging, and operations), with clear validation practices to maintain correctness and quality.\nMeasure and improve delivery outcomes using engineering metrics (lead time, PR throughput, defect rates, test coverage, incident load) and iterate on how the team ships.\nMake architecture choices that balance speed and scalability-knowing when “temporary” becomes “permanent.”\nBuild and enforce engineering hygiene that doesn’t slow you down (testing strategy, CI/CD, observability, sensible release practices).\nPartner tightly with Product and Design (and operate effectively when they’re not in the room) to prioritise, sequence, and ship the highest-value increments.\nMentor engineers and help establish a high-trust, high-ownership culture.\nWork Location: This role is based out of our London 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.\nReports to: SVP, AI\nWhat You Bring\nRequired Skills\nBachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.\n7+ years of software development experience, including ownership of product capabilities in production.\nDemonstrated, heavy AI-native delivery: consistent use of AI across the SDLC with concrete examples of faster delivery and maintained/improved quality.\nStrong engineering judgement under uncertainty; ability to simplify and still build something great.\nExperience building cloud-native services and/or modern user experiences that scale.\nComfort working across boundaries: product, design, customers, and platform dependencies.\nProduct judgement sufficient to ship: ability to frame problems, define MVP scope, make trade-offs, and drive to measurable customer outcomes.\nPreferred Qualifications\nStartup or internal incubation experience.\nExperience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into product experiences responsibly.\nTrack record of accelerating teams through strong technical leadership.\nExperience operating in PM-light environments where engineers help drive prioritisation and discovery alongside delivery.\nBenefits that benefit you\nCompetitive base salary and RSUs\nComprehensive pension plan with matching contribution\nPrivate health insurance & cash plans\n30 days paid holiday + UK public holidays\nEnhanced maternity/paternity leave\nGymPass subscription\nLife assurance & income protection\nCareer growth support and wellness resources\nBenefits listed herein may vary depending on the nature of your employment and the location where you work.\n\nDon’t meet every single requirement? That's ok. At Axon, we Aim Far. We think big with a long-term view because we want to reinvent the world to be a safer, better place. We are also committed to building diverse teams that reflect the communities we serve.\nStudies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they check every box in the job description.
