Description

Join Axon and be a Force for Good. At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life.

Your Impact Axon’s Enterprise Security team is looking for a Security Engineer I focused on building and supporting enterprise security controls and automations across core platforms (network/firewalls, endpoints, cloud, and key enterprise SaaS tools). This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll implement scoped control improvements and automation under the guidance of senior engineers, with an emphasis on reliability, audibility, and operational usability. You’ll help reduce manual security work by turning defined requirements into repeatable automation—improving consistency, evidence quality, and control health over time.

What You’ll Do Location: This role is based out of one of our offices (Atlanta, Boston, Scottsdale, or Seattle) 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.

Reports to: Senior Manager, Enterprise Security Direct Reports: 0 Implement enterprise security automations and controls from established designs, including network rule hygiene, segmentation workflows, baseline validation, and SaaS/cloud drift detection. Build and run security automation with scripts and APIs by developing connectors, troubleshooting failures, and hardening workflows with retries, idempotency, and clear error handling. Own the operational health of security controls by monitoring alerts, triaging issues with runbooks, and escalating with clear diagnostics and suggested fixes. Maintain strong documentation and audit readiness by capturing control intent and workflow details, and supporting audit evidence in partnership with GRC. Partner with Infrastructure, SRE/Platform, and application teams to deliver security controls that improve posture without slowing delivery velocity. What You Bring 0–3 years of experience in security engineering, systems engineering, IT automation, platform engineering, or related roles. Practical scripting/automation ability in Python or TypeScript (or similar), including comfort working with REST APIs and JSON. Foundational understanding of enterprise security concepts such as: Familiarity with common integration patterns (webhooks/events, scheduled jobs, retry/error handling, structured logging). Experience working in production-oriented environments with good change hygiene (documentation, peer review, careful rollouts).
