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.
  • 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

  • We are looking for an Engineering Manager to build, develop, and partner with a growing team of 5 10 ML Engineers working on AI systems that power our digital forensics capabilities.
  • You'll be responsible for hiring, coaching, career development, and performance; raising the bar on AI/ML craft.
  • Distributed across Canada and Sweden, our MLEs work in cross functional groups alongside Software Engineers and SDETs.

What You’ll Do

  • Drive operational excellence. Stay accountable for what the team ships, and continuously improve how we work by building frameworks for efficient, high quality delivery.
  • Guide technical execution. Stay close enough to the technical work to ask sharp questions, spot risks, and help the team weigh trade offs.
  • Coach and grow engineers on the team. Help them scope ambiguous projects, navigate tough technical trade offs, and prepare for high stakes conversations.
  • Foster a culture of experimentation. Create an environment where the team can safely share and test ideas, measure results, and learn quickly.
  • Lead with context and collaboration. Work across Product, UX, and engineering leadership to align roadmap goals with team capacity.
  • Nurture a high performing, distributed team. Evolve our processes and communication patterns to enhance our distributed collaboration.
  • Drive thoughtful AI assisted development practices. Figure out where AI development tools accelerate the team versus where they create risk.

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years managing or leading teams of engineers, with a track record of building healthy teams, delivering results, and coaching people through growth.
  • Hands on experience building applied AI/ML systems.
  • A genuine coaching mindset. You find satisfaction in other people's growth, give direct and useful feedback, and have coached Senior and Staff level engineers.
  • Sound technical judgment. You can navigate complex decisions, weigh trade offs, and help teams move toward adaptable, maintainable solutions.
  • Strong cross functional instincts. You communicate clearly with engineers, PMs, UX, and leadership.
  • Experience working effectively across distributed teams.
  • Familiarity with AI assisted development tools and a perspective on how to effectively integrate them into engineering workflows and team practices.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field; or equivalent practical experience.

Nice To Have Skills

  • Experience in high stakes domains (security, healthcare, legal) where correctness matters.
  • Experience with AI/ML in constrained deployment models (on prem, edge, air gapped).
  • Experience building and operating scalable, distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with MLOps tooling (e.g., experiment tracking, model versioning, CI/CD for ML).

Compensation & Benefits

  • CAD 160,000 CAD 210,000 (CDN) a year.
  • Generous time off policies, competitive compensation, volunteer opportunities, reward and recognition programs, employee committees & resource groups, healthcare and retirement benefits.

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, typically ranging from weekly to monthly.
  • Most days, you can choose what works best for you, while staying in tune with your team’s goals.
