Lead and execute advanced Red Team and penetration testing engagements, conduct application, network, wireless, physical, and social engineering assessments, develop custom offensive tools, analyse OS internals and EDR evasion, produce clear reports and remediation guidance, and support presales and thought leadership activities.

Design, implement, and validate analog and digital electronic circuits; create schematics and PCB layouts using Cadence Capture and Allegro; ensure correct serial-bus integration (I2C, SPI, eSPI, QSPI, LPC, UART); perform hands-on lab characterization and debugging with oscilloscopes, VNA, FRA, RLC meters, and signal generators; collaborate with firmware, mechanical, and software teams to resolve integration issues.

Lead QA for SaaS product features (Cloud WAF, GLSB, ABP). Design and execute functional tests, develop and maintain automation, collaborate with developers and support to resolve defects, and review documentation.

Provide escalation-level technical support for Fortinet Fortigate products: troubleshoot networking/security issues, collect and analyze system/configuration data, reproduce customer environments in lab, recommend corrective actions, manage escalations and customer communications, collaborate with QA/dev, and publish knowledge-base articles.

Develop and maintain scalable, responsive front-end applications with ReactJS; optimize performance; integrate AI tools into the development lifecycle; collaborate with UI/UX, backend (Python/Go/C++) and QA teams to deliver secure, high-quality web solutions.

Designs, deploys, and maintains data center and office network infrastructure; implements automation to scale networks; applies changes, monitors operations, troubleshoots outages, and coordinates with ISPs and vendors. Develops and maintains network standards and documentation.

Design, develop, test, tune, and support scalable data architecture and software for FortiAnalyzer. Implement new features, troubleshoot customer issues, maintain code and documentation, and optimize database performance for high-performance distributed security data analysis.

Design, develop, test, and maintain Linux applications, kernel modules, and firmware for Fortinet products. Troubleshoot bugs, implement new features from specifications, optimize performance, document code in source control, and research new technologies to advance FortiWEB and FortiADC product roadmaps.

Fortinet invites 2025–2026 new graduates to apply for a hiring pipeline across software, embedded, AI, web, C++, QA, DevOps, AV/IPS, and hardware roles in Burnaby and Ottawa. Applicants should upload a resume and unofficial transcripts; recruitment will screen candidates for future full-time openings and placements aligned to skills and business needs.

Perform manual and automated testing of FortiGate products, build and maintain test environments (physical, VMs, Kubernetes), implement Python test automation, investigate customer issues, research security trends and competitive features, and collaborate closely with developers to improve product quality.

Develop and maintain firmware for the FortiAuthenticator security product across the full lifecycle. Design and implement authentication daemons, high-availability/load-balancing components, Single Sign-On services, cryptographic operations, and system services. Troubleshoot, optimize, and collaborate on networked security features and integrations.
