Software developer c++ in mobile forensics

The MSAB vision is to empower every investigation with digital forensic solutions – for a safer world. A core value is to run an ethics-driven company with innovation and results. MSAB is the global leader in digital forensic technology for mobile device examination and analysis. The sole focus of MSAB is on delivering high quality digital forensic solutions to collect, review, analyze and manage data.

About the roles

We are currently looking for C++ developers to join three different teams.

In Smartphone team you will be working with the challenge of extracting data from mobile phones, tablets, and other portable devices such as drones, where the main targets are Android and iOS phones. The data can come from different sources like apps, cloud services or system files. The task is to extract data that will be processed and analyzed to ultimately be used in court as evidence. In some cases, reverse engineering will be necessary to understand how the encryption of data is done by the apps and how the apps communicate with the server.

“The core of our work is coding, but the team also investigates, analyzes, and understands protocols, file formats, encryption and more. Depending on each team members skills and interests everyone specializes in and/or explores different areas.”

- Sebastian Zankl, Engineering manager

In the Devices team we work closely with the Security Research team, developing extraction methods into our products. Those methods are often based on our own 0-day vulnerability research. In this role you will get the chance to work in complex projects to further improve the capabilities of our forensics solutions.

“Evidence might be gathered from devices; your innovations and ideas would directly be part of the solutions making it possible.” - Pedro Alvarez, Engineering Manager

In XRY team, the team develops our main forensic extraction tool XRY, which is used by thousands of law enforcement agencies to gather evidence from phones. Our development work follows tried and proven design principles, as well as being up to date with evolution of software engineering industry practices. This open position is for a back-end developer role, but with full-stack within the team, there is also possibility to widen the role beyond C++, should you be interested.

“As part of XRY team, you will interface in code as well as in person with several teams, working in the software layer where modules from many sources are tied together, to produce a product that is ever-increasingly crucial for law enforcement and crime victims." - David Persson, Engineering Manager
