Software Engineer Fullstack

Dominion Dynamics•Ottawa, ON

5d•Hybrid

About The Position

This role centers on designing, testing, and operating resilient telemetry and interface systems for constrained, forward-deployed environments. 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.

Requirements

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.
Strong production experience in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript; comfort writing clean, testable code.
Experience with SQL and relational data modeling.
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.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with Go and/or C++ is a strong advantage.

Responsibilities

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-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.
