Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

About Axon

At Axon, our mission is bold and simple: Protect Life. Our Real-Time Operations (RTO) products are transforming how public safety agencies, enterprises, and communities detect, assess, and respond to threats. Now, we’re making Enterprise a dedicated strategic priority, delivering GSOC solutions that enable real-time threat detection, situational awareness, and coordinated security response, empowering security teams at scale.

With our Fusus platform, we are uniquely positioned to bridge public and private security like no one else can. Across industries like retail, healthcare, transportation, logistics, and critical infrastructure, we deliver tools that centralize operations, integrate sensors and video, and connect seamlessly with public safety. 

Our goal is ambitious: to become the real-time platform for collaboration between communities and law enforcement, connecting first responders and businesses with tools that enhance response, improve safety, and support Axon’s mission to Protect Life.

Your Impact

Axon’s Real-Time Operations platform is redefining how enterprise security and safety teams protect people and assets across complex, distributed environments. As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll shape critical workflows for security professionals, operations center analysts, and field personnel as they monitor, respond, and coordinate in real time.

In this role, you’ll design experiences that serve a new and growing class of users in the private security space—working directly with customers to understand their world, uncover problems, and design solutions grounded in real-world use. Your work will not only improve the operational clarity and confidence of enterprise users but will also help bridge the gap between public and private safety collaboration in moments that matter.

Work Location: This role is based out of our Seattle office 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. We believe that connection fuels innovation, and our in-office culture is designed to foster meaningful teamwork, mentorship, and shared success.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct field and remote research to deeply understand enterprise users, their environments, and their operational needs.
• Use design as a method for learning—building prototypes, testing hypotheses, and clarifying the problem space.
• Collaborate closely with product, engineering, deployment, and sales to ensure we’re delivering practical, scalable, and user-grounded solutions.
• Design for complex workflows across multiple roles—translating security operations scenarios into intuitive interfaces and interactions.
• Support product discovery by identifying critical gaps, surfacing new opportunities, and shaping the direction of near- and long-term product development.
• Bring structure and clarity to ambiguous challenges through systems thinking, design exploration, and storytelling.
• Work across multiple work streams to deliver quality design, drive alignment, and ensure that what we ship works in the real world.

What You Bring

• Experience: 6+ years of product design experience, including ownership of complex workflows or features in enterprise, operational, or high-stakes environments. Demonstrated ability to ship end-to-end experiences that reflect real user needs and constraints.
• User-First Execution: Skilled at working closely with users to understand how they work, where friction lives, and how design can make their jobs easier. Uses research and design as tools to learn—not just validate assumptions.
• Applied Complexity: Comfortable designing within technically complex systems, especially where workflows span multiple roles, devices, or time-critical situations. Knows how to translate messiness into usable, grounded interfaces.
• Problem Solving in Ambiguity: Brings structure and clarity to undefined or evolving problem areas. Uses systems thinking and prototyping to explore solutions, align teams, and move work forward.
• Craft and Judgment: Strong interaction and information design skills, with a bias toward simplicity and real-world utility over surface-level aesthetics. Knows when to zoom in on detail and when to stay focused on flow and intent.
• Collaboration and Communication: Partners closely with product and engineering to shape requirements, test ideas, and deliver thoughtful solutions. Comfortable presenting work, sharing rationale, and adjusting based on feedback.
• Team Player: Contributes to design critiques, shares knowledge with peers, and supports a culture of learning and quality across the design team.

Why Axon?

• Shape the future of enterprise security, where private security and public safety operate together in real time.
• Join a founder-led, mission-driven company with a track record of innovation and market leadership.
• Work alongside passionate teams building life-saving technology at scale.
