Your Impact
We are seeking a Senior Data Engineer II to play a pivotal role in building and advancing Axon's Corporate Data Platform - a best-in-class, cloud-native data warehouse that serves as the foundation for enterprise reporting, business self-service analytics, and our growing Connected Intelligence initiatives. In this hands-on senior individual contributor role, you will design, implement, and optimize modern data solutions across Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Elementary, Sigma, and the broader data engineering ecosystem.
You'll serve as a technical anchor for the team, helping shape platform architecture, raise engineering standards, and build trusted, AI-ready data infrastructure that drives business decisions across Axon. This role offers significant influence, visibility, and career growth for a senior engineer who wants to deepen their technical leadership while helping define what modern data engineering looks like at scale.
What You'll Do
Location: This role follows a hybrid schedule and is based out of one of our U.S. office hubs. 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: Director, Enterprise Data
Direct Reports: None - this is an individual contributor role

• Serve as a senior technical anchor for Axon's Corporate Data Platform, setting a high quality bar for engineering output, data modeling, testing, observability, and production readiness.
• Design, build, and optimize scalable data pipelines, models, and warehouse architecture across Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, and related modern data platform technologies.
• Partner closely with the Principal Data Engineer, team lead, and cross-functional stakeholders to influence architectural decisions and deliver reliable, governed, and AI-ready data infrastructure.
• Build and maintain clean, well-modeled datasets that power enterprise reporting, business self-service analytics, and AI-driven work-streams across Finance, Sales, Operations, and other business functions.
• Contribute to Axon's formal data governance framework, including data quality SLAs, audit-scoped monitoring across Bronze, Silver, and Gold data layers, and SOX-relevant compliance controls.
• Implement and uphold automated testing, monitoring, and data quality standards using tools such as dbt and Elementary, ensuring the platform meets internal and external audit integrity requirements.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through thorough code reviews, pairing on complex problems, technical guidance, and proactive knowledge sharing.
• Establish and evolve engineering best practices, including dbt conventions, data modeling patterns, testing standards, CI/CD workflows, and documentation practices.
• Evaluate and introduce new tools, patterns, and platform capabilities that help Axon stay ahead of growing enterprise data and AI needs.
• Drive measurable impact through improvements in platform reliability, pipeline SLA adherence, data quality test pass rates, engineering quality, governance maturity, and team capability.

What You Bring

• 10+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, software engineering, or modern data platform development, with a track record of delivering production-ready data pipelines, models, and warehouse solutions.
• Hands-on expertise with Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, and modern ELT/data warehouse architecture; experience with Elementary, Sigma, CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, or AI/ML-adjacent data tooling is a strong plus.
• Proficiency leveraging AI-powered engineering tools such as Cursor and Claude Code as part of day-to-day development workflows; using AI tooling to improve engineering quality, speed, documentation, testing, and problem-solving is an expectation for this role, not a nice-to-have.
• Strong data modeling, SQL, testing, observability, and performance optimization skills, with a commitment to building reliable, governed, and maintainable data systems.
• Experience supporting data governance, data quality frameworks, auditability, compliance controls, or SOX-relevant environments.
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a senior individual contributor - owning complex technical problems, influencing architecture, raising code quality, and delivering high-impact work without close direction.
• A passion for mentorship and team elevation, including code reviews, pairing, knowledge sharing, and helping establish practical engineering standards.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to partner effectively with technical teams and business stakeholders across Finance, Sales, Operations, and other functions.
• A values-driven approach aligned with Axon's mission and culture: you take ownership, solve hard problems, act with integrity, and care deeply about building systems that help the business move faster and smarter.
