Your Impact Today, public safety officers spend up to 2/3 of their time on the job filling out paperwork (sometimes with paper, sometimes with floppy disks). Not only is this tedious for officers, but the never-ending pile of paperwork reduces the amount of time they can spend out in the field, protecting their communities. Axon Records cuts down on paperwork so that officers can spend more time prioritizing the safety of our communities. On the Axon Records Discovery Squad, we’re building a high-performance, scalable search and insights platform to help law enforcement officers find accurate, relevant information for all of the questions they have on the job. Imagine the year 2030. Advanced technology has automated more and more routine tasks to put officers back in the community, dramatically improving the quality and safety of our lives. Public safety officers have everything available at their fingertips—empowering them to seamlessly connect the dots and get the answers they need, when they need them, to most effectively protect life. As a Senior Engineer on the Discovery Squad, you’ll work closely with software engineers, product managers and designers to ensure the Records data is easy for users to locate and analyze.
