See everything. Defend what matters.
Dominion Dynamics is building tomorrow’s technology today: sovereign, next-generation defence systems for the harshest environments on Earth.
We’re delivering a software-defined command and control capability that lets Canada and its allies see, respond, and defend across every domain, starting in the Arctic, where extreme cold demands technology no one else can deliver.
From prototype to deployment in months, we move fast, co-develop with operators, innovate at the edge, and test in our North.
Our founding team includes veterans 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.
Talent density will define Dominion Dynamics.
We are building a world-class team across aerospace, robotics, embedded systems, AI, manufacturing, autonomy, and defence. This role exists to identify, attract, and close exceptional people capable of building sovereign capability for Canada and its allies.
This is not a traditional recruiting role. We need someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and knows how to creatively solve difficult hiring problems. Someone who can build strong relationships with hiring managers and stakeholders while operating effectively in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment.
You are not waiting for applicants. You are proactively finding exceptional talent through research, networking, technical communities, direct outreach, AI-enabled workflows, and unconventional sourcing strategies.
