Round 1 — AI Behavioral Screening An automated AI bot round asking questions about your background and experience. No coding involved — purely behavioral. Treat it seriously as it's a real filter before moving forward. Round 2 — LeetCode Style Coding Round A standard technical coding round with algorithm and data structure problems. Be comfortable with your DSA fundamentals. Round 3 — Online Coding Assessment A timed coding assessment administered through an online platform. Similar to Round 2 but in a structured, proctored format. Practice working under time pressure. Round 4 — Behavioral Round with Engineering Director (Virtual) This is Axon's ACE behavioral round, conducted by a director-level engineering leader. Follows Axon's ACE values framework — expect deep STAR-style questions around ownership, cross-team collaboration, technical decision-making, and initiative. They will drill multiple levels deep on anything on your resume, so know your projects cold including the business context behind every decision. Don't treat this like a standard behavioral interview. Round 5 — Onsite (Seattle, In-Person) Final round in Seattle with senior engineering leadership. Behavioral in nature, focused on role fit, career trajectory, communication, values alignment, and AI readiness. More conversational than Round 4 but still rigorous. Come with a clear narrative on your career arc and genuine, specific reasons for wanting to join Axon.
