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\nSenior Technical Program Manager, Axon Vision. A \"startup\" within Axon turning live video streams into intelligent, real-time sensors across public safety, corrections, enterprise security and healthcare.\nLocation: Scottsdale, AZ or Seattle, WA\nAbout Axon Vision\nAxon Vision is a new business venture within Axon with a simple mission: turn any live video feed into a real-time, AI-powered sensor. We operate like a startup inside a larger company. We move fast, adapt quickly and deliver high-impact products from ambiguous requirements.\nVision is a cross-pillar effort. The AI, DEMS/Enterprise and RTO pillars each own a critical part of the platform, the models and the customer experience, and each has its own roadmap and constraints.\nRole summary\nAs the Axon Vision TPM, you turn that ambiguity into one coordinated plan that three pillars believe in and execute. You own the program from end to end: the integrated roadmap, the dependencies, the risks, the release gates and the story we tell leadership. You act as the proxy for Vision's engineering and product leaders, and you are trusted to drive decisions rather than just track them.\nThis is an individual contributor role, reporting into Axon Vision engineering leadership.\nWhat you'll do\nScope of work\nOwn the integrated Axon Vision program plan across the AI, DEMS/Enterprise and RTO pillars, from early access through general availability and beyond.\nTurn unclear or competing requirements into a single work-back plan with named owners, dates and exit criteria for each gate.\nMap and manage cross-pillar dependencies across cloud services, edge devices, model development and customer-facing applications.\nRun the mechanisms that keep the program honest: planning, risk reviews, release readiness (including shiproom), status reporting and escalation.\nResponsibilities\nClarify substantially unclear or contradictory requirements, and proactively seek the details needed to commit to a plan.\nForesee, manage and mitigate risks early. Delegate mitigation ownership and escalate crisply, up to three levels, when it matters.\nDrive prioritization across pillars, including influencing how each pillar prioritizes its dependencies against its own backlog.\nPartner with engineering, product, science, QA, security, legal and hardware teams to make sure technical, compliance and policy needs are met for long-term success.\nFacilitate architecture and design reviews with staff engineers, and drive trade-off discussions with technical leaders at the right level of detail.\nDefine program metrics and measure success by customer outcomes and quality targets, not just by shipping.\nOwn program status reporting for senior leaders, including monthly business reviews, pillar rollups and executive updates.\nRaise the bar on execution across Vision by contributing reusable planning and reporting mechanisms.\nMentor other TPMs and peers, and take part in interviewing senior TPMs.\nBehavioral expectations\nProactively find the next most important problem and bring a recommendation to your leaders, not just a question.\nHold teams and pillars accountable to committed deliverables, with candor and without drama.\nStay calm and structured when requirements, dates and priorities change.\nCommunicate complex technical and program information clearly to engineers and to senior leaders.\nWhat you bring\n8+ years of software or hardware/software delivery experience, including at least 3-5 years as a Technical Program Manager (or equivalent senior TPM/EPM scope) at a high-growth technology company.\nA proven record of leading ambiguous, cross-team programs from inception through launch, with the dates, metrics and outcomes to show for it.\nStrong technical credibility with cloud-based distributed systems: you can evaluate an end-to-end design, spot risk in APIs, scaling, latency or data flow, and discuss trade-offs with senior engineers.\nComfort working in a startup-like environment where requirements are contradictory or missing, and you create the clarity yourself with minimal direction.\nExperience coordinating multiple pillars or organizations with competing priorities, building consensus and holding peers accountable without formal authority.\nExcellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to present program status and strategy to senior leaders up to the SVP level.\nA working knowledge of agile and other delivery methods, and the judgment to choose the right one for the situation.\nAn engineering or science background or degree; hands-on experience as a software engineer is a plus.\nQualifications\nDemonstrated ownership of a complex, multi-team program with a clear definition of success.\nAbility to look around corners: anticipates dependencies, integration risks and release gating needs before they become issues.\nStrong judgment on when to escalate, to whom and with what recommendation (for example, a 1:3:1).\nA record of building mechanisms and templates that other teams adopt.\nThis role requires someone who can independently drive a high-visibility program to success while earning the trust of engineers, product leaders and executives.\nNice to have\nExperience with computer vision, machine learning or AI platforms, including model training, evaluation and deployment loops. If you haven't, you're excited to learn.\nExperience with real-time or near real-time systems, video streaming, or edge and IoT devices.\nFamiliarity with public safety, law enforcement, corrections or other regulated environments, including security and privacy reviews.\nExperience taking a new product from early access to general availability, including customer pilots and production-readiness sign-off.\nExperience running programs across a mix of cloud services and physical devices.\nBenefits that Benefit You\nCompetitive salary and 401k with employer match\nDiscretionary paid time off\nPaid parental leave for all\nMedical, Dental, Vision plans\nFitness Programs\nEmotional & Mental Wellness support\nLearning & Development programs\nEmployee Resource Groups (ERGs)\nAnd yes, we have snacks in our offices\nBenefits listed herein may vary depending on the nature of your employment and the location where you work.\nAxon is a total compensation company, meaning compensation is made up of base pay, bonus, and stock awards.
