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
You will be a core contributor to the software systems that keep critical infrastructure, public events, and military operations safe from drone threats. As part of a high-performing engineering team, you will build and evolve the low-level, performance-critical software that sits at the heart of Dedrone's detection platform. This is a meaningful opportunity to deepen your Rust expertise while driving a strategic modernization effort — working on software that operates at real-world scale with real-world consequences.
What You'll Do
Location: This role is based out of our Kassel 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.
Reports to: Director RF Engineering
Design, develop, and maintain high-performance C++ applications within Dedrone's detection and tracking platform, with a focus on correctness, low latency, and minimal I/O overhead
Contribute to the incremental migration of existing C++ components to Rust, applying practical Rust development skills in a production environment
Implement and optimize parallel processing pipelines on Linux systems, ensuring efficient use of multi-core hardware and system resources
Collaborate closely with teammates in code reviews, architecture discussions, and knowledge sharing — with a shared commitment to clean, maintainable code
Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks, memory issues, and concurrency bugs across complex, real-time systems
Participate in defining and upholding engineering standards as the team evolves its tooling and language stack
What You Bring
3+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong foundation in C++
Practical, hands-on experience developing Rust applications — you have shipped Rust code and understand its ownership and concurrency model

3+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong foundation in C++
Practical, hands-on experience developing Rust applications — you have shipped Rust code and understand its ownership and concurrency model
Solid understanding of parallel and concurrent programming patterns and how to apply them safely and efficiently
Experience developing and deploying software on Linux systems, including familiarity with system-level APIs and tooling
A methodical approach to performance: you profile before you optimize, and you understand the cost of memory, threads, and I/O
B.Sc. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field — or equivalent practical experience
Don’t meet every single requirement? That's ok. At Axon, we Aim Far. We think big with a long-term view because we want to reinvent the world to be a safer, better place. We are also committed to building diverse teams that reflect the communities we serve.
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they check every box in the job description. If you’re excited about this role and our mission to Protect Life but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification listed here, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
