Original job description

Software Engineer Fullstack

Preferred Location: Ottawa

Reports to: CTO

Type: Full-Time

The Role

You will drive development across platform layers - from backend ingestion and data processing to frontend visualization and embedded integrations - working closely with hardware and embedded system teams. This role centers on designing, testing, and operating resilient telemetry and interface systems for constrained, forward-deployed environments.

What You’ll Do

Design and implement backend services and APIs that ingest, normalize, and serve telemetry and mission data.
Build frontend interfaces and dashboards that surface critical system state and analytics for operators.
Integrate software with sensors, embedded systems, and edge compute nodes; ensure robust data flows and fault-tolerant behaviour.
Write and maintain automated tests, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling to ensure repeatable, auditable releases.
Optimize data storage and query patterns (SQL/NoSQL) for low-latency access and efficient telemetry archival.
Instrument observability and alerting (logs, metrics, traces) to support on-call and field diagnostics.
Collaborate with embedded systems, and mechanical engineers to define interfaces and validate end-to-end performance.
Support field deployments and troubleshooting (travel to sites as required); incorporate field feedback into rapid iterations.
Mentor peers and contribute to engineering best practices, code reviews, and technical design docs.

What You’ll Bring

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Senior candidates: 5+ years building production backend/frontend systems; Mid candidates: 2-4 years. We’re hiring at both levels.
Strong production experience in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript; comfort writing clean, testable code.
Experience with SQL and relational data modeling; familiarity with Go and/or C++ is a strong advantage.
Practical experience with web frameworks and libraries (Flask or similar), dashboarding/visualization tools, and testing frameworks (PyTest, etc.).
Experience with one or more of: Android, ATAK/TAK plugin development, AWS services (ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3).
Proficiency with Git, JSON/YAML config, containerization, and CI/CD tooling.
Proven ability to integrate with hardware or work closely with embedded teams (sensor data, bandwidth-constrained links).
Comfortable operating in forward-deployed/field environments: pragmatic, low-ego problem-solver who can debug under pressure and iterate quickly.
Eligibility for Canadian security clearance preferred; Canadian citizenship an asset.

No defence background required.

We've hired people who didn't tick every box. If this is the work you want to do, please apply anyway.

Why Join Us

Building something meaningful starts with the right people.

At Dominion Dynamics, you’ll:

Shape Canada’s future by building real defence capability for the CAF and our allies.
Make decisions that ship in a high-trust environment with short feedback loops and rapid iteration.
Move fast, field faster, and work directly with the operator - our systems are in the field with the CAF now.
Have an impact from day one with equity, responsibility, and direct access to leadership.

If you’re curious, hands-on, and driven by the opportunity to make a difference, this is where you belong!

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive base salary and company equity*
Comprehensive health benefits
Additional equity granted based on impact*

We use AI tools to support parts of the hiring process, including screening and reviewing responses. Final hiring decisions are always made by people and follow all applicable privacy and employment laws in Canada.

*Equity awarded to full time employees only.
