Indicators of Success

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.

How We Work

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!

• 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.
