HRIS & Talent Acquisition Systems​/Tools Engineer

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.

We’re hiring a Systems Engineer to own and evolve our recruiting technology ecosystem end to end. This role sits at the intersection of Engineering, Talent Acquisition, and HRIS. You will design and build the systems, automations, and integrations that power how we hire globally. Your work will directly impact recruiter productivity, candidate experience, and time to fill. You are not technical support.

You are the product and engineering partner to Talent Acquisition leadership. If you see inefficiency and immediately think, “That should be automated,” you’ll thrive here.

Location:

This role is based out of one of our hub locations 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.

In this role, you will:

• Architect scalable recruiting systems using modern automation and AI‑enabled productivity tools
• Reduce manual recruiter work and eliminate unnecessary tool switching
• Build end‑to‑end data visibility that enables smarter investment decisions
• Design systems that support global growth without reinventing processes
• Identify bottlenecks before they become operational problems
• Deliver measurable improvements in system adoption, automation impact, and data quality

• Design, build, and maintain integrations across ATS, HRIS, scheduling tools, assessment platforms, and internal systems
• Develop API‑based data flows between recruiting systems and reporting environments
• Configure systems to support global recruiting processes and compliance requirements
• Own JIRA workflows for TA and HR technical initiatives, including clear requirements and delivery tracking

• Act as technical product owner for the recruiting tech stack
• Translate recruiter and candidate pain points into scalable system solutions
• Evaluate new tools, run pilots, and make clear build/buy/retire recommendations
• Maintain and prioritize a systems roadmap based on impact and effort

• Define and track system health metrics (adoption, latency, error rates, time in stage, automation success, data quality)
• Deliver quarterly system health narratives to TA leadership
• Partner with People Analytics and HRIS teams on reporting and insights

• Partner with TA leadership, Recruiting Ops, and HRIS to design workflows that work in real systems
• Run discovery sessions to uncover friction and bottlenecks
• Clearly communicate tradeoffs and scalability constraints
• Support rollouts with documentation, training, and technical enablement

• Experience as a Developer, Systems Engineer, or similar technical role working with enterprise business systems
• Hands‑on experience with ATS or HRIS platforms (Workday, Greenhouse, Success Factors, Lever, or similar)
• Experience building integrations using APIs, webhooks, or orchestration tools
• Strong data skills and comfort…
