Software Developer Co-Op (Fall 2023 Term)

Who We Are, What We Do, Where We Are 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 other IoT related devices. We are continually innovating so that our customers can deploy advanced and effective tools to protect their communities, countries and companies.

Headquartered out of Waterloo, ON but with over 400 employees spread out globally, Magnet is continuing to expand and grow. Where we are today, is not where we want to be tomorrow.

Your Role

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

We hire passionate people who enjoy technical challenges. We love problem solvers who want to keep learning, individually and as part of the team. We want people who collaborate and help others. We foster a team environment where everyone is comfortable sharing their ideas, because we understand that with diversity of thought, we will build the best products.

We’re looking for someone who checks off most, but not all, of the boxes. It’s more important to us to find a candidate who can display indicators of success through skills they have developed and experience they have been a part of, than to find folks who have “been there, done that”. We want to be a part of your development journey, and we’ll learn as much from you as you learn from us.

There are a couple must haves, but we will keep that list short:

• You are accountable and take ownership of your projects
• You’re strong at object-oriented programming (Java, C#, C++)
• You like working in a collaborative environment with smart, funny and interesting people
• You are a student working towards a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering or a related discipline

The Most Important Thing

We’re looking for candidates that can provide examples of how they have demonstrated Magnet InteGRITy throughout their previous experiences:

Greater Good – We think beyond our own interests and strive to improve communities around the world. This demonstrates our passion for making a difference in the world.

Respect – We hold ourselves accountable through transparent sharing of information and we have faith in each other’s abilities.

Innovation – We lead the industry in excellence and reliability while keeping the user experience simple and relevant. We are not afraid to push the boundaries to stay ahead of our competitors.

Teamwork – We collaborate internally and externally, while caring about each other and listening to our customers.

We’re 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.
