Your Impact

You will help us enhance Axon's security posture by hardening our system boundaries and help to keep us a few steps ahead of those out to harm us. You will select and build advanced tooling to enable our workforce and services to operate in an efficient and secure manner. You will be the advocate of these best practices to foster a culture of security, mentor and train less experienced information security staff, and act as a force-multiplier within the organization. In short, you'll be building scripts, software, services, and processes that make our teams smarter, faster, and more effective at what we do.
