Description
Forward was founded in 2013 by four Stanford Ph.D.s, building the industry's first network digital twin: a mathematically accurate model of the production network. It's the foundation for autonomous networking, giving engineers and AI agents the ability to know the impact of every change before it touches production. That founding instinct still defines how we work. We're accurate and evidence-driven, relentless about clarity, and we'd rather be certain than comfortable, building a groundbreaking platform that transforms how teams run and secure networks across every major cloud and vendor environment.
Global leaders like Goldman Sachs, PayPal, S&P Global, IBM, and Dell trust Forward, alongside fast-growing enterprises and government agencies, realizing an average of $14.2 million in annual benefits, according to IDC. Backed by top-tier investors, including A. Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Goldman Sachs, MSD Partners, Omega Venture Partners, Section 32, and Threshold Ventures, and headquartered in Santa Clara, we're most proud of our team: curious people who'd rather build what doesn't exist than accept how things have always been done.
Forward is currently seeking a Java Backend Software Engineer to work as part of our Apps - Server team. The work will involve developing our web server, REST APIs, and product core by writing clean and solid code that interacts with our other services and components. Responsibilities include:
- Developing new product features that leverage the network model to help users: visualize their network, understand how it behaves, see how it has evolved, answer specific questions, and plan changes
- Designing the data model for new product features
- Proposing and implementing REST APIs to support the Forward web application and to publish to customers
- Constructively reviewing product designs, technical design documents, and code changes
Requirements:
- At least 5+ years of full lifecycle software development experience
- Expertise in Java (version 17 or above)
- Considerable experience with a dependency injection framework such as Guice or Spring and a talent for writing (and refactoring) code for testability
- Deep understanding of REST API design fundamentals and best practices
- Proficiency in SQL and relational database schema design
- Strong object-oriented design and development skills
- Familiarity with the principles of functional programming
- Good communication skills
Nice to have:
- Experience with the Spring Web MVC framework or Spring Boot
- Some experience with other JVM languages such as Groovy, Kotlin, or Scala
- Some experience with TypeScript or modern JavaScript
NOTE: experience in the networking domain is NOT a requirement for this role but is a plus.
This position is a regular, full-time opportunity with Forward in Bangalore, India.
