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 But for too long, the professionals answering our calls have been let down by outdated technology.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.
Your Impact
Emergency communications professionals make thousands of life-critical decisions every day. Yet most 911 centers still evaluate only a small sample of calls through manual quality assurance programs.
Prepared is changing that.
We are building AI systems that allow emergency communications centers to evaluate every call, every dispatcher, and every shift — unlocking powerful insights that improve performance, strengthen training, and support responder safety.
As a Public Safety QA (Quality Assurance ) Architect, you will work directly with emergency communications agencies (PSAPs and ECCs) to design and implement these next-generation quality systems.
This role sits at the intersection of public safety operations, AI systems design, and operational consulting. You will partner with agencies to translate real-world call handling standards, operational policies, and workflows into automated QA frameworks powered by AI.
You’ll collaborate closely with PSAP leaders, dispatch supervisors, and QA teams while working alongside Prepared’s product and engineering teams to shape how AI systems evaluate emergency communications.
If you enjoy solving complex operational problems, designing systems that scale, and helping organizations adopt transformative technology, this role offers the opportunity to help shape the future of quality assurance in 911.
What You’ll Do
Architect AI-Driven QA Systems for Emergency Communications
- Work directly with emergency communications centers to design automated QA frameworks that evaluate call handling, radio communications, and operational workflows.
- Translate real-world policies, call-taking protocols, and operational standards into structured evaluation logic, scoring models, and automation rules.
- Configure and refine system architectures that enable scalable AI-driven quality monitoring across entire agencies.
Partner with Public Safety Leaders
- Serve as a trusted advisor to PSAP directors, dispatch supervisors, QA teams, and operational leaders implementing modern QA programs.
- Help agencies transition from manual call review processes to AI-assisted quality monitoring and performance analytics.
- Guide agencies in building sustainable, data-driven quality improvement programs.
Bridge Operations and Product Development
- Act as the connector between frontline users and engineering teams.
- Translate operational feedback and agency needs into product enhancements and system improvements.
- Help shape how AI systems evaluate dispatcher decision-making, policy adherence, and call handling performance.
Lead Implementation and Adoption
- Guide agencies through the rollout of AI-powered QA systems.
- Develop and deliver training for telecommunicators, supervisors, and QA staff to ensure confident adoption of new tools.
- Support agencies as they operationalize AI-driven quality programs within their existing workflows.
Drive Performance Insights and Continuous Improvement
- Monitor QA results, system usage, and operational trends to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Help agencies use performance insights to improve call consistency, reduce operational risk, and strengthen responder safety.
- Partner with internal teams to continuously refine system performance and evaluation accuracy.

• Familiarity with speech analytics, AI-assisted QA, or performance monitoring platforms
• Experience implementing SaaS platforms or operational systems
Why This Role Matters
AI is transforming how emergency communications centers understand and improve performance.
Instead of reviewing a small sample of calls each month, agencies can now evaluate every interaction across their entire operation.
This shift enables agencies to:
• Improve consistency in call handling
• Identify training opportunities faster
• Reduce operational risk
• Support telecommunicators in high-stress environments
• Strengthen responder outcomes in the field
As a Public Safety QA (Quality Assurance ) Architect at Prepared, your work will directly influence how emergency communications centers across the country adopt these capabilities and build the next generation of quality assurance programs.
