  • 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’.

    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 anyway.

    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.

    All offers of employment at Magnet are contingent upon satisfactory completion of a background check. All background checks will be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws. 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.
