Join Axon and be a Force for Good
At Axon, we’re on a mission to protect life and make the world a safer place. Our ecosystem of devices and cloud software tackles critical safety and justice challenges, and we need a Senior Application Security Engineer to help ensure our products remain secure, reliable, and trusted by our customers.
Your Impact
As a Senior Application Security Engineer, you will drive security initiatives that integrate seamlessly into the software development lifecycle. This role is all about empowering development teams with the tools, knowledge, and processes to build secure applications. You’ll work side-by-side with developers as a security partner, not just a reviewer, to enhance our security posture while maintaining speed and innovation.
You will leverage your strong software development background and application security expertise to build scalable security automation and tooling. This role is perfect for someone who is passionate about automating processes, enabling teams, and solving complex security challenges at scale.
What You’ll Do
Location: This role is based out of our Ho Chi Minh 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.
