We’re looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer who excels in technical problem-solving and has a broad impact within engineering teams. You’re skilled at designing and shipping high-quality code, with a strong focus on developer experience, scalability, and performance. You have contributed to shared frameworks or design systems and take pride in supporting others to adopt better development patterns.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll contribute to shaping the way our SaaS products are developed and experienced. Your work will help product teams deliver faster, safer, and more consistent customer experiences. You’ll actively collaborate with peers in Engineering and UX to build a unified frontend platform that brings multiple SaaS products together into a single, scalable application.

In this role, you’ll be a builder, collaborator, and mentor. You’ll work alongside others to design reusable UI frameworks, modernize legacy codebases, and support engineering teams as they adopt improved patterns, tooling, and practices.

• Your contributions will make a real difference. Your work will help accelerate development and improve consistency across our suite of SaaS products, directly supporting the foundation of our unified platform.
• You’ll take on technical challenges that matter. Whether it’s designing robust platform architecture or enhancing the developer experience, you’ll engage with projects that require thoughtful problem-solving and a focus on usability and scale.
• You’ll thrive in an environment that trusts your expertise. We encourage our engineers to take initiative, make meaningful decisions, and see the tangible results of their efforts, without having to navigate layers of bureaucracy.

NOTE: Candidates must reside in The United States or Canada.

• 4+ years of professional frontend development experience, including significant experience in one or more major frameworks (e.g. React, Vue) and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Experience working on a production SaaS application (AWS, Azure, or GCP). You understand how to ship, maintain, and debug production code.
• Strong mentorship skills, with the ability to guide and challenge peers and junior developers.
• Bachelor’s degree in a Computer Science related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience with the rest of our frontend stack (e.g. MUI, Vite[st], Tanstack, Emotion) and beyond (e.g. AWS, Docker, Grafana, AzDO)
• Experience improving frontend DX through better tooling, faster local dev loops, observability, feature flagging, CI/CD pipelines, etc.
• Familiarity with design systems, accessibility, and internationalization best practices.
• Understanding of AI systems, including LLM architectures, token generation, and MCP frameworks.
• Enthusiasm for using agentic AI and other modern practices as a key part of the SDLC.

We’re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes listed in “skills and experiences”. It’s more important to us to find candidates who can display indicators of success through skills they have developed and experiences they have been a part of, than to find folks who have ‘been there, done that”. We want to be part of your development journey, and we’ll learn as much from you as you learn from us.

At Magnet Forensics, we take a hybrid-flexible approach to support your productivity and work-life balance. If you’re within a comfortable travel distance to one of our offices, you’ll occasionally join us in person. How often you’ll come in depends on your department and team needs, typically ranging from weekly to monthly. These in-person moments help us build stronger connections, spark new ideas, and celebrate our successes together. Most days, you can choose what works best for you, while staying in tune with your team’s goals.

We’re excited to welcome you to our team and look forward to achieving great things together - both in the office and wherever you work best!

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.

Here at Magnet Forensics, we are committed to continuous learning and are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. This commitment will be reflected in our hiring processes and embedded in our values and how we treat one another. If you’re interested in this role, but do not meet all of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply anyways.
