Location: Ottawa or Toronto - Onsite Type: Full-time Dominion Dynamics is building Canada’s first modern defence prime: software-defined, attritable, 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 You don’t need to know exactly where you fit. We’re looking for people who’ve served and still feel the pull to contribute. If you’ve worn the uniform, you understand things that can’t be taught: ownership, clarity under pressure, mission over ego, and what it means to rely on a team. We’re building a company that needs exactly that, and a mission where it still matters. Who This Is For You’ve served in the Canadian Armed Forces, and you’re looking for your next mission. Maybe you were in: Combat arms Intelligence Engineering or technical trades Logistics or operations Aviation or naval systems Communications or cyber Maybe you’re not sure how your experience translates. That’s okay, we do. What You Might Work On There’s no single path here. Depending on your background, you could: Support and deploy systems in real-world environments Work on drones, sensors, or surveillance systems Help integrate hardware and software into field-ready capabilities Contribute to operations, logistics, or program execution Work with government stakeholders and procurement teams Help us test, break, and improve systems before they matter most If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better way to do this,” this is where you help build it.

Make decisions that ship in a high-trust environment with short feedback loops and rapid iteration.
