Senior Digital Forensics Examiner
TransPerfectTransPerfect is hiring a Senior Digital Forensics Examiner for its Dubai onsite office. This full-time role centers on preserving digital media and cloud-based systems for forensic work and requires the ability to independently process and extract artifacts from computer operating systems, as well as data from Android and iOS devices. The right candidate will manage time and cases autonomously, troubleshoot issues, and articulate findings in writing and in testimony when needed.
If you enjoy detective work, handling electronic evidence across laptops, mobiles, emails and social media, and you want to mentor others while collaborating with clients, this could be a fit. The company seeks someone who communicates well with clients and colleagues and can navigate the legal elements of digital investigations.
Work is onsite in Dubai, AE, and the role demands strong written and oral communication skills along with the ability to provide depositions or testimonies on managed projects when required.
Forensic work across devices and clouds
The day-to-day involves managing and tracking electronic evidence, using leading forensic software to identify, collect, preserve and analyze data from laptops, desktops, cell phones, email and cloud-based systems. You will handle email collections and e-file conversions, and you’ll gather social media data for preservation. You’ll work with other personnel as needed throughout project lifecycles, keeping detailed notes and documentation. Monthly billing is part of the workflow, and you’ll oversee client relationships from start to finish, including project scoping, crafting workflows, performing defensible collections, identifying relevant data, and coordinating data handoffs to internal processing teams. When required, you will provide depositions or testimonies and generate concise, forensically accurate reports. You’ll also mentor junior practitioners as part of your leadership responsibilities.
