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 an experienced Senior Full Stack Software Engineer who excels in technical problem solving and takes a high level of ownership in their work. You have a track record of building and delivering robust production code. You are a team player that not only focuses on iterating the product with customers in mind, but also iterating the development experience and internal processes.

As a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer, you’ll be a key member of a small team responsible for a truly unique product line. You will not only develop intuitive user interfaces, but also develop new services and pipelines to support a customer hosted web application stack - all while maintaining and evolving existing functionality. You will be comfortable navigating a variety of complex external dependencies.

Why Join This Team?

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a mission-critical product as part of a small, high-performing engineering team. You’ll own meaningful technical decisions, tackle complex challenges, and see the direct impact of your work while helping guide the product through its next stage of growth.

Note: Candidate must be a United States citizen that resides and works in the United States.

What You'll Do
  • Contribute directly to our codebase, building features as well as addressing bugs and technical debt directly with an eye towards code quality and best practices.
    - Drive systemic changes to the development processes that will result in increased confidence of the product from both a contributor and customer perspective.
  • Collaborate with UX, Customer Success, and Product to find unique sustainable solutions to customers needs and use cases.
  • Evolve a healthy relationship between QA and ICs.
What We're Looking For
  • 8+ years of professional web application development and delivery.
  • Experience with React and modern JavaScript/Typescript.
  • Proficiency with Node.js.
  • Proficiency with SQL databases (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.).
  • Proficiency with Git.
  • Experience with cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and/or Microsoft Azure.
Nice To Have
  • Experience with Golang (Go).
  • Experience with containerization platforms like Docker or Kubernetes.
  • Experience with Gitlab pipelines, and/or related CI/CD infrastructure development (Jenkins, Github, etc).
  • Contribution to open-source software projects.
  • Formal or informal leadership experience.
  • Start Up experience.
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or Information Technology.
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).

$148,000 - $198,000 (USD) 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.

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.
