Senior Site Reliability Engineer I

Your Impact As a Senior SRE on the APX SRE CloudOps team, you will design and build the cloud infrastructure and automation platforms that Axon's product engineering teams depend on. You will architect solutions for multi‑cloud environments (Azure, AWS), FedRAMP compliance boundaries, and large‑scale Kubernetes platforms serving production workloads across multiple regions. You will write code—building services, APIs, and internal tooling using Go and Python—and participate in on‑call rotations and incident response, using operational experience to drive reliability improvements and inform platform investment. Location This role is based out of our Atlanta (Peachtree Corners), Seattle, or Boston office and follows a hybrid schedule. Team members work onsite Tuesdays through Fridays, with flexibility to work remotely on Mondays unless approved. What You’ll Do Design and implement services, APIs, and automation tooling to improve cloud infrastructure reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency. Write production‑quality code in Go, Python, or similar. Lead design reviews and set code quality standards within the team. Build robust, easy‑to‑use foundational platforms and tools that enable engineering teams to provision services rapidly, consistently, securely, and cost‑effectively. Architect cloud infrastructure across Azure and AWS, including Kubernetes platforms, networking, and identity boundaries. Participate in on‑call rotations and incident response, using operational experience to identify systemic reliability risks and drive platform improvements. Foresee and mitigate risks in infrastructure design: single points of failure, scaling bottlenecks, security gaps, and compliance drift. Influence and educate the engineering organization to adopt new and improved architectural patterns. Leverage AI tooling and agentic workflows to accelerate engineering delivery and operational automation. Provide robust documentation for use by engineers to promote self‑service. Mentor junior and mid‑level engineers through code review, design guidance, and pairing. What You Bring This position involves handling of classified federal data; under federal regulations, it is open to U.S. citizens only. 8+ years of applicable experience in software engineering, cloud infrastructure, or site reliability engineering. Experience designing and operating cloud platforms at scale across Azure, AWS, or similar. Proficiency in one or more managed languages (Go, Python, Java, C#) in the context of building services, not just scripting. Experience architecting and operating Kubernetes platforms (AKS, EKS, or similar) at production scale. Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, or similar) for managing multi‑environment, multi‑region infrastructure. Experience utilizing CI/CD platforms to automate provisioning infrastructure, software builds, tests, and releases. Experience using observability tools such as APM, logging, and metrics to assist with debugging issues. Track record of leading design reviews, writing technical proposals, and setting engineering standards within a team. Builder‑operator mindset with proven production ownership (uptime, SLOs, on‑call, incident leadership). Experience mentoring engineers and conducting technical interviews. Experience using AI‑assisted development tools to accelerate engineering workflows is a strong plus.
