Role OverviewWe are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our team, designing, experimenting with, and optimizing applied ML and AI systems that power our digital forensics capabilities. You will lead the development of new models, training techniques, evaluation methods, and AI-powered systems that surface critical leads and insights for investigators, helping them solve cases faster and with greater confidence. As part of this team, you’ll work closely with Product, UX, and our Brain team to ensure our models and systems advance what’s possible while meeting real-world constraints. You’ll own complex initiatives end‑to‑end, from ideation through experimentation, evaluation, and handoff for integration, advancing the state‑of‑the‑art in digital forensics.What You’ll DoDesign, implement, and evaluate state‑of‑the‑art ML/AI models and systems; Lead experiments, define success metrics, build evaluations, and iterate to improve performance, efficiency, and reliability; Collect, build, and work with complex, real‑world datasets, developing preprocessing, augmentation, and feature engineering techniques that enhance model training and fairness; Design and prototype agentic workflows where models reason, plan, call tools, and collaborate with other systems to accomplish complex tasks; Collaborate cross‑functionally with our Brain team to ensure models are production‑ready, observable, scalable, and meet real user needs; Stay at the forefront of ML/AI research, assessing recent techniques, frameworks, and trends, and translating them into practical innovations for our products; Contribute to building reusable research infrastructure and tooling that accelerates experimentation and improves reproducibility; Ensure ethical, responsible, and secure AI practices are integrated into model design, training, and evaluation; Mentor other engineers on ML and AI best practices, experimental design, evaluation methodology,



and technical decision‑making.What We’re Looking For5+ years of professional experience in machine learning or applied AI, with a track record of delivering models into production or production‑ready pipelines; Strong Python programming skills, with experience in building maintainable, scalable ML systems; Experience designing and running experiments, selecting appropriate metrics, and evaluating models; Practical experience working with large language models in production or research prototypes, including prompt engineering, fine‑tuning or adaptation, and/or retrieval‑augmented generation; Hands‑on experience with deep learning frameworks (e.G., PyTorch, TensorFlow) and deployment frameworks (e.G., Triton, TorchServer); Experience workingwith large, complex, and/or unstructured datasets, with a strong understanding of trade‑offs between model quality, cost, inference speed, and system complexity; Ability to work cross‑functionally with engineers, researchers, product managers, and designers; Strong communication skills for both technical and non‑technical audiences; Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience in applied ML research and engineering.Nice to Have SkillsExperience with agentic systems, tool calling, multi‑step reasoning workflows, or LLM evaluation frameworks; Familiarity with vector databases, embedding models, and context retrieval strategies; Background in NLP,computer vision, or other relevant ML domains; Familiarity with MLOps tooling (e.G.,



experiment tracking, model versioning, CI/CD for ML); Contributions to open‑source ML projects or publications in peer‑reviewed venues; Experience workingwith cloud providers like AWS or Azure; Experience workingwith AI tools as part of your development workflow (e.G., Claude, GitHub Copilot, etc.)Compensation & Benefits$125,000 - $175,000 (CDN) a yearSalary range (min - max)Position Type:Current VacancyMagnet offers benefits such as:Generous time off policiesCompetitive compensationVolunteer opportunitiesReward and recognition programsEmployee committees & resource groupsHealthcare and retirement benefitsMagnet 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.
