  • Lead cloud platform readiness for security and compliance frameworks, including FedRAMP and other regulatory requirements.
  • Partner with Security and Compliance teams to implement secure-by-default platforms, policies, and operational controls.
  • Drive vulnerability management, security remediation, and platform-wide operational security initiatives.
  • Evaluate emerging regulatory and sovereign cloud requirements and develop strategies to support global customers.
 
Cloud Financial Operations (FinOps)
  • Own cloud cost governance, forecasting, budgeting, and optimization programs across the organization.
  • Develop and maintain cloud financial management practices that provide transparency and accountability.
  • Partner with Finance and Engineering leaders to align technology investments with business priorities.
  • Introduce automation and operational tooling to improve forecasting accuracy and cost visibility.
  • Establish frameworks that balance innovation, performance, and cost control.
 
AI Strategy & Operational Enablement
  • Drive responsible adoption of AI technologies across Engineering and Shared Services.
  • Evaluate, operationalize, and govern AI platforms, services, and tooling.
  • Develop strategies for monitoring, managing, and optimizing AI-related infrastructure and spend.
  • Identify opportunities to improve productivity, operational efficiency, and decision-making through AI-enabled workflows.
  • Partner with business and engineering stakeholders to maximize organizational value from AI investments.
 
Vendor & Technology Management
  • Lead evaluation, selection, negotiation, and lifecycle management of cloud providers, technology platforms, and engineering tools.
  • Develop strategic relationships with key technology vendors and service providers.
  • Manage major cloud and software licensing agreements.
  • Assess emerging technologies and vendors to ensure Magnet continues to operate with modern, efficient, and scalable platforms.
 
Engineering Leadership & Developer Experience
  • Build, develop, and lead high-performing cloud and platform engineering teams.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.
  • Improve the developer experience by reducing friction, enhancing tooling, and enabling self-service platform capabilities.
  • Create an environment where engineering teams can build, deploy, and operate software efficiently and reliably.
What We're Looking For

  • Experience with cloud financial management, budgeting, forecasting, and cost optimization.

  • Proven track record leading cross-functional strategic initiatives.

  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and executive presentation 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.
 
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.
 
Magnet Forensics is an Equal Opportunity Employer and considers applicants for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, orientation, national origin, age, disability, genetics or any other basis forbidden under federal, provincial, or local law. 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. Please contact [email protected] should you require any accommodations.

Magnet will consider each position's job duties, among other factors, in determining what constitutes satisfactory completion of the background check. Refusal to consent to a background check may be grounds for revoking an offer of employment.
 
US Applicants: Magnet Forensics participates in E-Verify and will provide the federal government with your Form I-9 information to confirm that you are authorized to work in the U.S.
