Artificial Intelligence Senior Product Manager II, Real-Time Operations

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Your Impact

Axon’s Fusus platform is redefining how video intelligence drives public safety and enterprise security. We believe that modern real-time crime centers should be powered by cutting-edge, AI-enabled video analytics—not constrained by hardware lock-in or legacy VMS systems.

As Senior Product Manager II for AI Video Analytics, you will own the vision, roadmap, and delivery of AI-powered video capabilities in the Fusus ecosystem. Your mission is to build the most advanced, hardware-agnostic, and scalable video analytics platform in the industry—transforming how operators detect, investigate, and respond to incidents in real time.

The future of video intelligence is flexible, intelligent, and open. Public safety agencies and enterprise security teams are demanding more than just storage and playback—they want real-time insights and predictive capabilities. By leading Axon’s AI Video Analytics strategy for Fusus, you’ll play a critical role in defining what the next generation of video intelligence looks like—and deliver life-saving impact at scale.

You will work at the intersection of computer vision, ecosystem integration, partner enablement, and product experience. You’ll collaborate deeply with AI engineering, system integrators, city customers, and third-party camera providers to define and deliver a seamless and powerful video analytics layer—whether deployed on edge devices, in the cloud, or via hybrid models.

Work Location: This role is based out of our Seattle, WA 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.
