Software Engineer Fullstack

About the role

**Software Engineer Fullstack**

**Preferred Location:** Ottawa

**Reports to:** CTO

**Type:** Full\-Time

**The Role**

------------

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

**What You’ll Do**

------------------

* 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\-to\-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.

**What You’ll Bring**

---------------------

* 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. We’re hiring at both levels. * Strong production experience in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript; comfort writing clean, testable code. * Experience with SQL and relational data modeling; familiarity with Go and/or C\+\+ is a strong advantage. * 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.

*No defence background required.*
