About Dominion Dynamics

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.

The future of Dominion Dynamics depends on attracting exceptional people.

We are looking for a driven, curious, and resourceful recruiter who wants to help build one of Canada’s most ambitious defence technology companies. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving difficult hiring problems, moves quickly, communicates well, and thrives in fast-paced environments without heavy structure.

You will support hiring across technical, operational, and business functions while also helping build Dominion’s intern and early talent programs. This role is not about posting jobs and waiting for applicants , it’s about proactively finding exceptional people and helping create a world-class talent engine.
