Your Team

The Engineering Organization is focused on producing software that solves the most important problems facing digital forensics and incident response professionals today. Our algorithms make sense of data that is often hidden, corrupted, or incomplete. We write well-tested, performant code and build intuitive UIs because we know that minutes can make a difference in national terrorism cases and life-or-death situations. We are a community of smart, passionate, humble people who recognize that solving the industry’s toughest problems requires constant collaboration, continuous learning, and frequent doses of humour.

The Magnet Review Team is looking for a talented engineer to join our growing team, responsible for building the next generation of digital forensics products enhancing collaboration between various stakeholders in the agency org.

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