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!

Taken from Magnet Forensics's application form as it stood on 12 Nov 2026.

The employer: Magnet Forensics

Builds software that recovers and analyzes evidence from phones and computers; hiring vulnerability researchers remotely and an information security co-op student.

Pay and benefits: Salaried remote research roles across North America and Europe, plus a winter co-op placement.

Other security roles worth a look

A few links on CyberJobs.cc are referral links: when one leads to a hire, a sign-up or a purchase (a lab, a course or a tool marked Partner), the company behind it may pay CyberJobs.cc a fee. You pay nothing extra, and it never changes the salary an employer offers you or which roles the board lists. Roles from partners who pay us a fee rank a little higher in this list.

A proven pentester or red teamer?

Security teams sometimes ask us directly for someone with a given specialty, clearance or certification. Join the candidate pool once and we put you forward when a brief matches, and only after you say yes. No cost to you.
