Your Impact

As a Priority Support Engineer, you're not just resolving technical issues - you're a trusted advisor and escalation authority for Axon's most critical customers. You'll have the autonomy to assess complex, high-impact cases, make real-time decisions to stabilize customer operations, and drive cross-functional efforts that shape how Axon delivers world-class support.

You'll act as the bridge between frontline support, higher support tiers, engineering, and product teams - using your technical acumen and customer insight to influence product improvements, operational workflows, and service-level strategies. Your independent judgment and ownership mindset will directly impact customer trust, product adoption, and Axon's brand reputation in the field.

This role offers high ownership and autonomy. Engineers are trusted to make informed decisions in complex, ambiguous situations, prioritize high-value work, and serve as technical SMEs for Axon's most strategic customers.
