Your Impact

As a contributor in the APX platform engineering organization on the CloudNet team, you focus on solving real-time problems for mission-critical cloud-native services—and on the quality and reliability our customers expect. You'll work closely with teams operating Axon systems around the world, and your technical influence extends across engineering because every product needs sound guidance for how it connects and scales in Axon's overall networking picture. A typical week blends Kubernetes networking, service mesh (for example Istio and Envoy), ingress and gateways, TLS and certificate automation, DNS and public-edge routing, and production incidents where fixing the issue means tracing HTTP, DNS, load balancing, and cloud edges end to end. In this role, you'll ship automation and reliable cloud-based platforms (we have no data centers, so there is no rack-and-stack in this role).

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

- Work on a mixed infrastructure and software team that owns critical platform networking for Axon's cloud systems: mesh and ingress, TLS and certificate automation, DNS and edge routing, and the automation that keeps those paths safe and observable.

- Advance Axon's use of Istio-style service mesh patterns that underpin how we scale—building features, hardening what runs in production, and improving how we roll out change.

- Act as a builder and operator: ship infrastructure-as-code and software-backed controls, steward components that must meet strict regulatory expectations (including FedRAMP where applicable), and address vulnerabilities with timely, disciplined change.
