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.

Role Overview
 
At Magnet Forensics, you will be fully integrated into our software development team. You'll start by getting comfortable with the code, working through bugs and basic features, all the while writing code that will actually be seen in production. As you ramp, you'll be given more complex features just like any other member of the team. In fact, some of the key features of our software were written by our students!
What We Are Looking For
  • You are a student working towards a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering or a related discipline
  • You're strong at object-oriented programming (Languages: Java/JavaScript, C#, C++, Python)
  • You are accountable and take ownership of your projects
  • You like working in a collaborative environment with smart, funny and interesting people

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!

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.
