Senior Product Designer I

Seattle, WA, United States

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Your Impact

Our Records team re-imagines the way officers write reports in the field to how detectives help prosecute crime. Police reports come to life with video at the heart of the record to tell the full story. By leveraging data and deeply understanding our user’s journey, we can support new strategies for how officers get paperwork done accurately while increasing their safety and ability to serve their community more effectively. You will be working with the Records team to solve for new and increasingly complex scenarios for patrol officers in the field. If you’re looking for ownership and autonomy while collaborating across product teams, this role is for you.

Our Team

We believe that happy teams take good care of their customers, so we foster a friendly, open, introspective team culture that encourages everyone to speak their mind and deliberately avoid red tape, unnecessary rituals, politics, and jerks. We focus on productivity, and try to avoid having senseless meetings or processes, while we emphasize planning to keep our work-life balance healthy and sustainable.

We can only succeed if we deeply understand our customers and get to know them personally. We spend time with law enforcement officers to learn about their needs, watch their experience and see the real impact of our work. Your first ride-along with a patrol officer will forever change your perception of first responders and their role in society.
