## About this role.

AI SummaryAxon is hiring a Senior Software Engineer II for its DEMS Ingestion team in Seattle, focused on reliable high-throughput uploads of digital evidence from third-party clients and Axon devices. The engineer will design and deliver secure, scalable multi-cloud backend systems using technologies such as Go, Scala, AWS, Azure, blob storage, APIs, SQL, event-driven infrastructure, and caching. This senior role leads technical projects, architecture reviews, technical roadmaps, and mentorship while partnering closely with product, design, engineering leadership, and peer engineers. The Seattle-based hybrid schedule requires onsite collaboration Tuesday through Friday, with remote flexibility on Mondays. Candidates need 10+ years of professional development experience and strong expertise in highly available cloud systems and distributed-system design.

Sample interview questionsHow would you design a resilient, terabyte-scale evidence-upload platform that supports unreliable client networks and multiple cloud providers?I would separate the control plane from the data plane, using resumable multipart uploads with durable upload-session metadata and idempotency keys. Clients would upload encrypted chunks directly to cloud object storage through short-lived signed URLs, while services validate manifests, track completion, and emit events for asynchronous processing. I would design provider-specific storage adapters behind a common interface, add integrity checks and retries, and instrument the flow with end-to-end tracing, throughput metrics, and failure alerts.

Describe how you would lead a technical project from an ambiguous requirement through production launch.

I would begin by clarifying the customer problem, success measures, constraints, risks, and nonfunctional requirements with stakeholders. I would produce a design document that evaluates alternatives, identifies migration and operational considerations, and gains feedback through architecture review. I would then break the work into milestones, communicate tradeoffs and status clearly, use phased rollout and observability, and conduct a post-launch review to capture improvements.

What are important security considerations when ingesting sensitive digital evidence?

I would apply encryption in transit and at rest, strict identity and access controls, least-privilege service permissions, auditable access logs, and secure management of encryption keys and secrets. Content integrity should be verified with checksums or hashes, and systems should preserve immutable chain-of-custody metadata. I would also consider tenant isolation, data-retention policies, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and safe handling of failures so evidence is neither exposed nor silently lost.

How would you approach an architecture review for a proposed event-driven ingestion workflow?

I would assess the design against expected volume, ordering requirements, delivery semantics, back-pressure behavior, replay strategy, schema evolution, observability, and disaster recovery. I would ask how consumers achieve idempotency and how the team handles poison messages, duplicates, delayed events, and partial failures. My feedback would focus on concrete risks and measurable acceptance criteria while helping the author identify the simplest design that meets reliability and operational needs.

How do you mentor engineers while maintaining high delivery standards on a fast-moving team?

I set clear technical expectations, provide timely and constructive code and design feedback, and explain the reasoning behind decisions rather than only prescribing solutions. I pair mentoring with appropriately scoped ownership opportunities, regular check-ins, and documentation that makes quality practices repeatable. When deadlines are tight, I prioritize the highest-risk work, remove blockers, and ensure engineers understand both the immediate decision and the longer-term technical context.

### 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.

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

### This role is primarily for the DEMS Ingestion team which is responsible for the upload of evidence files both from 3rd party clients as well as Axon devices such as Body Worn Cameras. We deal with large throughput upload requests (~Terabytes) and have an increasing need for a strong grasp of multi-cloud architecture (AWS & Azure).

The team largely is a backend focused team leveraging mainly GoLang and Scala. Cloud technologies include blob storage, CDNs, stateful APIs, multi-part file upload, end-to-end encryption, SQL, event driven infrastructure, and caching.

An ideal candidate would be a strong backend engineer with a mind for system design across multi-cloud infrastructure. They should be a strong communicator of complex technical details and able to consider a wide range of use-case scenarios and risks in their designs.

They should also possess well developed leadership soft skills as this role is expected to lead other engineers and act as a force multiplier for the team as whole. They should have a strong technical foundation that others on the team can rely on and be approachable and willing to help their team grow.

### What You’ll Do

### Location:  This role is based out of our Seattle 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.
