Job Description
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.
About Prepared by Axon
As of October 1, 2025, Prepared has officially joined forces with Axon—a major milestone for both our teams and the public safety community. United by a shared mission to Protect Life, Axon and Prepared are ushering in a new era of AI-powered emergency communications. Together, we’re closing the gap between the first call for help and resolution in the field—empowering responders with the clarity they need when every second counts. 911 is the backbone of public safety in America. But for too long, the professionals answering our calls have been let down by outdated technology. Prepared exists to change that. Since launching in 2021, we’ve used cutting-edge AI to help streamline millions of emergency calls across 49 states—supporting over 90 million people and transforming what's possible in crisis response. At Prepared, you’re not just joining a team—you’re helping shape the future of emergency services and building a safer, more connected world.

As a Senior Public Safety Sales Engineer (PSAP SME), you are both a technical expert and a storyteller. You’ll work closely with Account Executives (AEs), Regional Sales Managers (RSMs), and customers to translate complex technical requirements into compelling solutions. You will lead discovery, configure and demonstrate our platform, manage technical validations, and ensure a smooth handoff to post-sales implementation.
This role is ideal for someone who understands the intersection of technology, public safety operations, and customer success, and who thrives in a mission-driven, fast-paced environment.

- Lead and respond to RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires with accuracy and professionalism.
- Translate complex technical concepts into clear, benefit-focused explanations for non-technical audiences.
- Technical Leadership
- Serve as the subject-matter expert for Prepared’s platform architecture, integrations, APIs, and data workflows.
- Provide configuration and system design guidance based on customer requirements, existing CAD/NG911 systems, and IT infrastructure.
- Advise agencies on best practices for network security, system interoperability, and deployment planning.
- Stay up-to-date with public safety software trends and standards (NG911, CAD, RMS, PSAP operations) and competitor offerings.
