Senior Data Engineer II

Axon is hiring a Senior Data Engineer II to help build and scale Axon’s Corporate Data Platform for enterprise reporting, self-service analytics, and Connected Intelligence.

Responsibilities

• Act as a senior technical anchor for Axon’s Corporate Data Platform, driving high standards for engineering output, data modeling, testing, observability, and production readiness.
• Design, build, and optimize scalable data pipelines, models, and warehouse architecture using Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, and related modern data platform technologies.
• Collaborate with the Principal Data Engineer, team lead, and cross-functional stakeholders to influence architecture and deliver reliable, governed, AI-ready data infrastructure.
• Develop and maintain clean, well-modeled datasets that support enterprise reporting, business self-service analytics, and AI-driven workstreams across Finance, Sales, Operations, and other functions.
• Contribute to Axon’s data governance framework, including data quality SLAs, audit-scoped monitoring across Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers, and SOX-relevant compliance controls.
• Implement and uphold automated testing, monitoring, and data quality standards using dbt and Elementary, aligning with internal and external audit integrity requirements.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through thorough code reviews, pairing on complex issues, 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.
• Assess and introduce new tools, patterns, and platform capabilities to support growing enterprise data and AI needs.
• Drive measurable improvements across platform reliability, pipeline SLA adherence, data quality test pass rates, engineering quality, governance maturity, and team capability.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, software engineering, or modern data platform development, with delivery of 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.
• Experience using AI-powered engineering tools such as Cursor and Claude Code as part of daily workflows, using AI to improve engineering quality, speed, documentation, testing, and troubleshooting.
• Strong skills in data modeling, SQL, testing, observability, and performance optimization, with a focus on building reliable, governed, maintainable systems.
• Experience supporting data governance, data quality frameworks, auditability, compliance controls, or SOX-relevant environments.
• Proven 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.
• Passion for mentorship and team elevation, including code reviews, pairing, knowledge sharing, and helping establish practical engineering standards.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, partnering effectively with technical teams and business stakeholders across Finance, Sales, Operations, and more.
• Values-aligned mindset: ownership, integrity, solving hard problems, and building systems that help the business move faster and smarter.
