Software Engineer

Magnet Forensics is on the lookout for a Software Engineer to help us in designing, building, and optimizing our AI-powered search capabilities. Working alongside our Technical Leads, you will design and improve search functionality that will surface critical leads and insights for forensic investigators, ensuring that search results are accurate, fast, and meaningful. You will work closely with AI Research, Product, User Experience, and Engineering to develop scalable, high-performance search solutions.

The ideal candidate can provide technical expertise in search systems, evaluate trade-offs, drive best practices, deploy and scale search infrastructure, and integrate state-of-the-art search methodologies to enhance our AI-driven systems. You will have the autonomy to define and evolve search infrastructure, balancing best practices with innovative solutions for digital forensics workflows.

You’ll have the ability to immerse yourself in our AI-powered search stack, gaining a deep understanding of our current search infrastructure, user workflows, and key challenges. Early on, you’ll analyze search performance and system scalability, identifying areas for improvement. As you ramp up, you’ll collaborate with the team to design and implement targeted search optimizations. Whether it’s refining ranking algorithms, improving query execution, or iterating on AI-driven retrieval techniques, you’ll contribute meaningfully to enhancing our search results. By the end of your first three months, you’ll have taken ownership of a critical search initiative, delivering measurable improvements and setting the foundation for future iterations.
