Magnet Forensics is a global leader in the development of digital investigative software that acquires, analyzes, and shares evidence from computers, smartphones, tablets, and IoT-related devices. We are continually innovating so our customers can deploy advanced and effective tools to protect their companies, communities, and countries.

Serving thousands of customers globally, our solutions are playing a crucial role in modernizing digital investigations, helping investigators fight crime, protect assets, and guard national security.

With employees based around the world, Magnet Forensics has been expanding our global presence.

If you think you would be the right person to join our team working towards this goal, we would love to hear from you!

Your Team

The Mobile Artifacts team is located across Canada (but primarily Waterloo & Ottawa) and is responsible for maintaining and expanding support for iOS and Android artifacts. As the number of mobile applications continues to grow, our team investigates these apps to extract meaningful data for digital investigations. We bring together a unique blend of technical skills including reverse engineering, cross-language porting, and a "testers-as-coach" model to ensure high-quality delivery at scale.

What You Will Accomplish:

• Lead a team of developers and testers focused on artifact maintenance and innovation;
• Drive delivery of high-quality software that meets the needs of digital forensics professionals;
• Foster a culture of accountability, feedback, and continuous improvement;

What We Are Looking For:

• We’re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in “skills and experiences”.

We want to be part of your development journey, and we’ll learn as much from you as you learn from us.

Required Skills:

• 3+ years of experience leading software development teams;
• 5+ years of experience in software engineering;
• Experience working in an Agile development environment;
• Strong communication and conflict resolution skills;
• Excellent relational skills and leadership abilities;
• Strong judgment, prioritization, and decision-making abilities;
• Drives a culture of feedback and continuous improvement;
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with reverse engineering or mobile application analysis;
• Familiarity with C#, or other relevant languages;
• Exposure to digital forensics or cybersecurity domains.

The Most Important Thing:

• We’re looking for candidates that can provide examples of how they have demonstrated Magnet CODE in their previous experiences:
• CARE – We care about each other and our mission to make a difference in the world.
• OWN – We are accountable for our results – while never forgetting to act with integrity, empathy, and respect.
• DEDICATE – We put our heart and soul into meeting the needs of our customers and helping them serve the people they protect.
• EVOLVE – We are constantly innovating and exploring new ways to work together to make an impact with our work.
