Lead Integration Architect

Job Description

The value of Axis world-class devices is realized through software integrations — and someone needs to own the big picture. As our Lead Integration Architect, you'll take on the strategic stewardship of our entire public integration offering, shaping how thousands of external developers connect with Axis technology. If you're energized by the intersection of architecture and business impact — and curious about how AI is redefining it all — this role was made for you.

Who is your future team?

The Developer Experience team owns the entire journey for external developers who integrate with Axis devices — from discovering what's possible with our products, to accessing the tools and documentation needed to build production solutions, to long-term concerns like API versioning. You'll be joining a team that sits at the crossroads of R&D, product strategy, and the external developer community.

What you'll do here as Lead Integration Architect

Axis has long been an industry leader in integration possibilities: VAPIX network APIs, ACAP (Axis Camera Application Platform) as an on-edge application platform, and a growing set of cloud API offerings. Through these, developers can consume video, audio, and sensor data from our devices — and configure and control their operation. Your mission is to ensure this rich integration offer keeps growing in value and capability. In practice, you will:

• Own the architectural direction of the Axis integration offering across on-device, network, and cloud APIs, ensuring a coherent and forward-looking strategy.
• Guide and influence R&D teams across the organization to publish and maintain high-quality APIs — through solid governance, clear guidelines, and accessible support.
• Balance long-term vision with incremental progress — architecture at Axis is not a slide deck; you will drive concrete, step-by-step improvements.
• Champion the developer experience by ensuring it is easy for internal teams and external partners alike to do the right thing.
• Navigate technical, organizational, and business considerations in your daily work, building trust and alignment with stakeholders ranging from developers to senior leadership to partners and customers.
• Stay ahead of industry trends, especially how AI is transforming both the value of and the demand for developer integration offerings.
• Drive organizational change through influence and communication rather than direct authority — excelling through soft power.

Who are you?

You are a strategic thinker who also rolls up your sleeves to make things happen. You lead through influence — building trust, creating alignment, and making it easy for others across a large organization to move in the right direction. You know when to be pragmatic and when to hold firm to protect long-term quality. You communicate with clarity and confidence, adapting your style whether you're speaking with a developer, a senior manager, a sales team, or an external partner.

We'd love to hear that you have:

• Demonstrated ability to drive organizational change and align diverse stakeholders through influence and communication.
• A deep strategic understanding of the role a developer offering plays in a business context.
• Experience leading technical strategy across teams or products — for example as an architect, product owner, or program manager
• A broad understanding of the full software stack of a hardware device company — from embedded software to cloud integrations — with deep knowledge and hands-on experience in at least one part of that stack.
• Curiosity and a well-formed perspective on how AI is reshaping developer integration offerings.
• A university degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a similar field — or equivalent experience.

Bonus points for:

• Previous experience of being responsible for a public API offering.
• Hands-on experience of developing software in a hardware product company.
• Familiarity with Axis products and services.
