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

Your Team

The Engineering org 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 Detection Engineering Team is looking for a talented engineer to join our growing team, responsible for building the next generation of Incident Response products and helping us develop high-impact detection mechanisms for memory forensics and live systems.

We value what is different about you, whether it is your education, work experience, life experiences or background.

What You Will Accomplish

  • Design, develop, debug, and deliver tooling to assist the investigative and hunting process
  • Create technical documentation for teams to follow
  • Identify and implement solutions to problems impacting the team
  • Develop production code for new features and bug fixes within a small team
  • Design and write automated tests that will ensure the integrity of our software
  • Participate in peer code reviews

What We Are Looking For

  • 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.

  • There are a couple must haves, but we will keep that list short:
  • Bachelor’s degree in a Computer Science related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Rust or C++/C in case you don’t have Rust, including low level development exposure.
  • C# development experience (we work both in C# & Rust)
  • Solid understanding of Windows, Linux and/or Mac Internals
  • Experience with at least one of the following: memory analysis, reverse engineering, malware analysis, kernel development

  • In addition, may have some of the following skills and experiences:
  • Experience developing robust, well-tested production code in C/C++/Rust/C#
  • Familiarity with kernel development and debugging tools (WinDbg, OllyDbg, etc.), and common EDR bypass techniques.
  • Functional understanding of common threat analysis models, including the Cyber Kill Chain and MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Knowledge of common threat intelligence formats (SIGMA, STIX, etc.)
  • Ability to track, analyze, and brief on new and ongoing cyber-attacks.
  • Experience writing and maintaining automated test suites at various levels of abstraction
  • Good communication and cross-group collaboration skills
  • Aptitude and interest in learning new technologies
  • Effectiveness at getting the right thing done
  • Practical leadership experience (regardless of title)

The Most Important Thing:

  • We’re looking for candidates that can provide examples of how they 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.
