Original job description

Who We Are; What We Do; Where We’re Going

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. As a part of Magnet Forensics, you can expect to make a difference in the world, no matter what role you play. You’ll be supported through learning and development, not to mention an incredible team with unbelievable talent and integrity.

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

Role Overview
We’re looking for a talented Software Engineer who excels in technical problem-solving. You’re skilled at developing and shipping high-quality code, with a hunger to learn, and a desire to build things that make a difference.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll contribute directly to our products by supporting customers and developing new features. 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 core user experiences on our Graykey platform.

NOTE: Candidate must reside in Canada. \nWhat You'll Do

Contribute directly to our codebase, building features as well as addressing bugs and technical debt with an eye towards code quality and best practices.
Collaborate with our Design group to find new, creative ways to enhance a user’s experience on a Graykey device.
Collaborate with our QA group proactively to support and enhance automated UI testing.

What We're Looking For

2+ years of professional development experience and a Bachelor’s degree in a Computer Science, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field OR 3+ years of professional development experience.
1+ years professional experience with Python.
Proficiency with Git.
Familiarity with Linux Operating Systems.
Strong interpersonal skills, an instinct for collaboration, and a desire to learn.

Nice To Have

Background in AI/ML systems, both in terms of AI-assisted development (i.e., Claude Code, Codex, etc.) and AI/ML-driven feature development.
Professional use of JavaScript and/or TypeScript.
Hands-on ReactJS development.
Working knowledge of Flask, FastAPI, or GraphQL.
Comfort working with hardware devices.
Practical exposure to containerization platforms like Docker or Kubernetes.
CI/CD infrastructure development using GitLab pipelines and/or related tools such as Jenkins or GitHub.
Linux administration or Linux system development expertise.
Ability to write and maintain Bash scripts.
Familiarity with Networking Fundamentals (ie. DNS, DHCP, etc.)

Compensation & Benefits

The Compensation range is for the primary location for which the job is posted. Please note that the actual compensation may vary depending on location and job-related factors such as qualifications, experience, knowledge and skills. If you are applying for this role outside of the primary location and you are selected for an interview, the Talent Acquisition Partner can share more information with you. If the compensation structure for the role includes an incentive component (i.e. most Sales roles) the range below represents total target compensation (TTC) (base salary + variable).

$85,000 - $135,000 (CAD) a year Salary range (min - max)

Position Type: New Vacancy

Magnet is proud to offer benefits such as:

Generous time off policies

Competitive compensation

Volunteer opportunities

Reward and recognition programs

Employee committees & resource groups

Healthcare and retirement benefits

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!

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.

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.

Magnet Forensics is an Equal Opportunity Employer and considers applicants for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetics or any other basis forbidden under federal, provincial, or local law. We are committed to providing an inclusive, accessible recruitment process and work environment. Accommodation is available to all applicants upon request throughout the hiring process. Please contact aoda@magnetforensics.com should you require any accommodations.

Magnet will consider each position’s job duties, among other factors, in determining what constitutes satisfactory completion of the background check. Refusal to consent to a background check may be grounds for revoking an offer of employment.
