Location: Remotely from the United States. Travel as needed to Axon hubs and customer/state program sites (typically up to 25%).
Lead a squad of NIBRS and compliance engineers; stay close to current work, constraints, and customer/state program commitments so you can coach, unblock, and make sound tradeoffs.
Responsible for technical and domain details: NIBRS submission and validation frameworks, state-specific implementations, certification paths, and a high bar for quality, performance, and compliance accuracy on production systems.
Identify challenges, propose solutions, and seek feedback from leadership, R&D, and agency/state stakeholders.
Own and continually improve how the team operates: planning, execution, reviews, incident and certification follow-through, and processes that support deployment and evolution at scale.
Accountable to leadership for resource allocation, delivery, and team performance.
Mentor engineers on the team; set clear expectations, give frequent feedback, and grow the team as certification scope and product surface area expand.
Partner with R&D and Product Enablement so national and state compliance reporting requirements are implemented in Axon's records management system.
Define where the engineering team goes next (states, report types, automation, and platform capabilities) and translate that vision into a sequenced roadmap with leadership.

Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder programs from start to finish, including work that spans product, engineering, and external agencies or regulators.
Managerial experience with developing teams, and anticipating future demand.
Effective communication with both technical and non-technical people, including clients and internal leaders
Demonstrated ability to improve team operations, quality, and delivery.
Experience developing and/or maintaining production systems; familiarity with TypeScript/JavaScript, Python or similar.
NIBRS, UCR, and/or other compliance reporting (crash, citation, use of force, traffic stop, etc.) experience is strongly preferred.
Must pass a Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS)
