About Dominion Dynamics

Dominion Dynamics is building Canada’s first modern defence prime : software‑defined,itable, and sovereign. We believe tomorrow’s military power won’t hinge on exquisite platforms but on the seamless coordination of adaptable, AI‑driven capabilities across every domain. We’re building that family of systems, fielded with operators, sovereign by design, and accountable to Canada’s democratic values.

We move fast, deploy with the CAF, especially in the Arctic, and operate with uncompromising respect for Canadian law, treaty obligations, and the CAF community.

Our founding team includes former operators from Anduril, Google, Amazon, and the Canadian Armed Forces. We’re building hard tech in hard places, and we're looking for system‑level thinkers who thrive at the intersection of autonomy, aerospace, and national security.

Why This Role Matters

Clear, accurate geospatial telemetry is essential for operator decision‑making and mission coordination across remote areas. This role turns high‑volume telemetry into intuitive, high‑performance map surfaces and spatial analysis tools; by doing so it improves situational awareness and shortens the decision loop in operational contexts.

The Role : Geospatial Software Engineer – Telemetry & Mapping

You will lead the design and delivery of telemetry mapping systems that transform raw sensor and vehicle streams into performant, interactive map layers and analytics; this builder / operator role spans front‑end visualization, back‑end geospatial processing, and integration with real‑time telemetry sources.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain front‑end map visualizations and dashboards using JavaScript / TypeScript and relevant mapping frameworks.
  • Implement back‑end services and data pipelines in Python to ingest, normalize, and serve geospatial telemetry.
  • Design efficient telemetry storage and query patterns that support low‑latency map updates and time‑series playback.
  • Implement spatial analytics, clustering, and filtering to surface operator‑relevant insights.
  • Surface telemetry to Android operator apps or ATAK plugins when required.
  • Ensure robust, fault‑tolerant integration between telemetry sources and map layers; handle intermittent / lossy links gracefully.
  • Write tests, CI / CD pipelines, and performance benchmarks for map rendering and data‑serving components.
  • Collaborate with embedded systems, and UX teams to define interfaces and refine operational workflows.
  • Support field deployments and iterate on visualization behaviours based on operator feedback.

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, GIS, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Senior : 5+ years; Mid : 2–4 years of experience.
  • Strong production experience with JavaScript / TypeScript and front‑end map technologies; practical Python experience for back‑end services.
  • Familiarity with spatial data formats, time‑series telemetry, and server‑side processing; working knowledge of R is a plus for analytics.
  • Experience designing low‑latency data pipelines and optimizing map rendering for high‑volume streams.
  • Proven ability to integrate closely with hardware and embedded teams; pragmatic in‑field troubleshooting experience preferred.
  • Collaborative, mission‑focused thinker; able to translate operator needs into clean, performant interfaces.
  • Eligibility for Canadian security clearance preferred; Canadian citizenship an asset.
  • Why Join Us

  • Shape the future of Canada’s sovereign defence.
  • Build real capability in fields with CAF and allies.
  • Move fast, field fast with small teams, high trust, and rapid iteration.
  • Operate with integrity under Canadian law and treaty obligations.
  • Have impact from day one with equity, responsibility, and direct access to leadership.
  • Compensation

    We offer competitive salary and meaningful equity participation.
