As a Senior Artifacts Engineer specializing in Mobile Artifacts and Reverse Engineering, you will play a critical role in investigating, interpreting, and supporting the recovery of digital data across mobile applications.

Your mission is to enable robust digital investigations by developing tools and algorithms that extract, decode, and analyze data—even when it is encoded, protected, hidden, deleted, or corrupted. You will leverage reverse engineering techniques, collaborate across teams, and deliver solutions that make a tangible impact for customers working on high‑profile cases.

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

• Perform static and dynamic analysis of mobile OS and mobile applications to uncover forensically valuable artifacts.
• Use and customize instrumentation, debuggers, and automation tools to accelerate research and product development.
• Translate research findings into proof‑of‑concept solutions and evolve them into robust, maintainable product code.
• Design and implement performant, maintainable, and testable production code, focusing on iterative delivery to maximize customer impact.
• Document findings, create internal demos, and mentor teammates through knowledge sharing and technical leadership.
• Collaborate with research, product, and customer teams to ship capabilities that matter.
• Analyze requirements, break down tasks, estimate efforts, and adapt to evolving business and customer needs.
• Support peers through pair programming, code reviews, and mentoring, fostering a collaborative and innovative engineering environment.
• Take ownership and accountability for projects, driving them to completion.

• 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering, with hands‑on reverse engineering expertise.
• Strong proficiency in C# .NET, with ability to work in other languages as needed (e.g., C, C++, Python, Java).
• Knowledge of mobile OS fundamentals, architecture, and APIs (iOS, Android).
• Experience with SQL queries and SQLite.
• Familiarity with reverse engineering tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, or Frida.
• Comfortable working across abstraction layers, from user space to OS kernels, and moving fluently between assembly, native code, and high‑level code.
• Experience with Agile development practices and effective collaboration in distributed teams.
• Proven track record of shipping clean, well‑tested code in collaborative environments.

• Experience with artifact or memory forensics tools (e.g., Axiom, Volatility).
• Knowledge of cryptography concepts: keychain/keystore, sqlcipher, key derivation, encryption modes.
• Experience reverse engineering hard targets, malware, and obfuscated code.
• Technical leadership experience, including mentoring and supporting peers and stakeholders.
• Demonstrated presentation and team communication skills.
• Distributed knowledge through write‑ups, white papers, and presentations.

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.
