Role Overview
As a Senior Software Engineer working on the Cloud Forensics team, you will play a critical role in investigating, interpreting, and supporting the recovery of digital evidence from Cloud sources.

Your mission is to enable robust digital investigations by developing software that authenticates, acquires, and analyzes internet data-even when it is encrypted, undocumented or inaccessible by public APIs. You will leverage reverse engineering techniques to deliver solutions that make a tangible impact for customers working on high-profile cases.

NOTE: Candidate must reside in Canada.

What You'll Do

• Perform dynamic analysis of public and private internet APIs 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.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of professional experience in Software Engineering.
• Strong proficiency in C# .NET, with ability to work in other languages as needed (e.g., C, C++, Go, Java).
• Knowledge of Internet Client / Server fundamentals, architecture, and APIs (REST, GraphQL).
• Knowledge of Internet Authentication and Security protocols (OAuth, TLS, SSL).
• 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 AI tooling (Claude Code, Copilot, Agentic workflows).
• You are curious, and won't stop until we are able to get the data we need to support the important work of our customers (!).

Nice To Have

• Experience with Cloud forensics tools (e.g., AXIOM, Oxygen, UFED Cloud).
• Familiarity with reverse engineering tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, or Frida.
• Knowledge of cryptography concepts: keychain/keystore, AES, PGP.
• Experience in Internet data mining (e.g. Playwright, Selenium).
• Experience with API & IoT reverse engineering techniques.
• Technical leadership experience, including mentoring and supporting peers and stakeholders.
• Demonstrated presentation and team communication skills.

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.
