About the Role

Axon’s Corporate AI Team builds internal-facing AI solutions to help employees reduce manual work, move faster, and focus on higher-value tasks. This role focuses on the operational backbone of internal applications, including infrastructure, CI/CD, deployment patterns, reliability, maintenance, support, and production readiness.

Responsibilities

  • Own maintenance, support, and operational readiness for internal AI-enabled applications and tools.
  • Help productionize prototypes built by Corporate AI, business teams, or technical partners.
  • Improve infrastructure and deployment patterns, with a focus on Vercel-hosted applications and tools deployed across Azure, AWS, and other environments.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code patterns, monitoring, secrets management, access controls, runbooks, and support processes.
  • Partner through testing, rollout, UAT, and long-term maintenance so internal tools remain useful, stable, secure, and dependable.
  • Turn prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and team-built tools into reliable applications for real business users.
  • Improve production readiness across inherited applications, including deployment configuration, monitoring, error handling, documentation, testing, access controls, and supportability.
  • Partner with Corporate AI engineers and business teams to move applications from prototype to pilot to production.
  • Support UAT and rollout by helping validate that applications meet business needs, are stable for daily use, and have a clear support model.
  • Identify reliability, security, scalability, and maintainability gaps before tools become business-critical.
  • Ensure internal applications are not just built, but owned, supported, and continuously improved.
  • Own and improve the operational model for internal applications hosted on Vercel, including deployment patterns, configuration, environment management, access controls, monitoring, and production support.
  • Support internal applications running across Azure, AWS, GCP, and other cloud environments, with Azure experience especially helpful.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD workflows, primarily using GitHub Actions.
  • Apply infrastructure-as-code concepts using Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or similar tools.
  • Manage platform concerns such as secrets, environment variables, deployment automation, access control, logging, alerting, and operational documentation.
  • Partner with IT, Security, Enterprise Data, and Corporate AI to align infrastructure patterns with Axon’s security and compliance expectations.
  • Participate in shared production support and incident response for internal tools and applications.
  • Own ongoing maintenance and support for internal applications, integrations, web apps, backend services, extensions, and workflow tools.
  • Fix bugs, improve reliability, manage dependency updates, address security patches, and reduce operational toil.
  • Improve observability so the team can understand application health, usage, errors, cost, and reliability.
  • Create runbooks, support documentation, checklists, and escalation paths for applications under Corporate AI ownership.
  • Reduce the burden on engineers focused on net-new work by taking ownership of systems that need upkeep and operational care.
  • Take pride in brownfield engineering: improving existing systems and making them safer, cleaner, more reliable, and easier to operate.
  • Help build a repeatable lifecycle model for internal tools, from prototype intake through production readiness, support, maintenance, and retirement.
  • Create practical standards such as production readiness checklists, UAT checklists, CI/CD templates, infrastructure patterns, runbook templates, and support handoff processes.
  • Help define what it means for an internal application to be experimental, in pilot, production-ready, business-critical, or ready for deprecation.
  • Improve how the team inherits, supports, and maintains applications created by other teams or through rapid prototyping.
  • Identify opportunities to consolidate, simplify, and standardize internal applications and infrastructure over time.
  • Support infrastructure and operations for AI-powered internal tools, including applications that use LLMs, AI agents, RAG workflows, automation frameworks, and enterprise integrations.
  • Understand core AI application concepts such as prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, model APIs, evaluations, and AI safety considerations.
  • Help ensure AI-enabled tools are deployed with appropriate safeguards around data access, secrets, logging, auditability, and responsible use.
  • Partner with Corporate AI to ensure AI-powered applications are reliable, secure, supportable, and aligned with Axon’s internal standards.
  • Work closely with Corporate AI, Enterprise Data, IT, Security, and business stakeholders across Axon.
  • Communicate technical risks, tradeoffs, support concerns, and infrastructure needs clearly to technical and non-technical partners.
  • Collaborate with teams replacing existing software, augmenting workflows, or building internal tools to solve business problems.
  • Support internal users and stakeholders during rollout, support, and improvement cycles when needed.
  • Bring ownership to ambiguous problems, especially when applications have unclear support models, incomplete documentation, or evolving requirements.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, infrastructure engineering, internal tools engineering, automation engineering, software engineering, or a related technical role.
  • Strong cloud infrastructure experience with Azure, AWS, or GCP; Azure experience is especially helpful.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code concepts and tools such as Terraform, Bicep, Pulumi, CloudFormation, or similar.
  • Experience building, maintaining, or supporting CI/CD pipelines, especially with GitHub Actions.
  • Strong understanding of deployment patterns, environments, secrets management, access controls, monitoring, logging, and production support.
  • Ability to read, understand, maintain, and improve application code in Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, or similar languages.
  • Experience supporting production or production-like systems, including bug fixes, incident response, dependency updates, documentation, and reliability improvements.
  • Familiarity with AI application concepts such as LLM APIs, prompt engineering, RAG, agents, model evaluation, AI security risks, and responsible AI practices.
  • Strong ownership mindset, including comfort taking over work others started, bringing order to ambiguity, and making systems more reliable over time.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work with technical teams, IT partners, security stakeholders, and internal business users.
  • Comfort with brownfield engineering, maintenance, support, and operational excellence.
  • Practical, service-oriented mindset focused on whether internal tools work well for the people depending on them.
  • Operating applications on Vercel, including configuration, deployments, environment variables, access controls, monitoring, and production support.
  • Supporting internal tools, enterprise applications, workflow automation, or business-critical internal systems.
  • Azure infrastructure, identity, networking, application hosting, and security patterns.
  • Authentication and authorization patterns such as SSO, OAuth/OIDC, Entra ID / Azure AD, RBAC, service principals, and secrets management.
  • Observability tools, logging platforms, alerting systems, uptime monitoring, incident response, and operational runbooks.
  • Maintaining applications built with Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, React, or similar modern stacks.
  • Backend services, APIs, integrations, serverless applications, containers, or cloud-hosted web applications.
  • AI-powered internal tools, LLM applications, RAG workflows, agents, Slackbots, enterprise integrations, or automation platforms.
  • Integrating with enterprise systems such as Slack, Jira, Confluence/Quip, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Snowflake, ServiceNow, or similar.
  • Working in regulated, security-sensitive, or compliance-heavy environments.
  • Creating engineering standards, templates, checklists, lifecycle models, or production readiness frameworks.
  • Participating in UAT, release readiness, stakeholder testing, or internal application rollout processes.
  • Mentoring or enabling other engineers through documentation, templates, examples, or operational best practices.
