About Axon 911
Axon 911 brings together Prepared and Carbyne under Axon. Together, we are creating the only platform that combines modern 911 infrastructure with an AI intelligence layer—helping public safety agencies move faster, make better decisions, and deliver better outcomes in the moments that matter most.
911 is the backbone of public safety, yet the professionals behind it have long been held back by outdated technology. Axon 911 is here to change that. Joining this team means more than taking a job—it means helping shape the future of emergency response and building a safer, more connected world.
Your Impact
As a Senior Public Safety Sales Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in transforming how public safety agencies respond to emergencies through innovative, AI-powered, cloud-based technology.

This is an opportunity for an accomplished Sales Engineer who doesn't just support the sales process but elevates it. You'll bring a proven track record of exceeding performance expectations, improving processes, and taking ownership in a high-growth environment. Your ability to bridge complex technology with real-world operational challenges will directly shape our growth and the future of emergency response through the power of AI.
