Senior Customer Care Engineer

Forward Networks is revolutionizing the way large networks are managed. The Forward
Enterprise platform delivers a vendor-agnostic "digital twin" of the network,
based on a mathematical model.

The platform scales to support hundreds of thousands of network
devices, whether cloud, hybrid cloud, or on-prem. It serves as a single source of truth
for the network, enabling network operators to instantly verify security posture,
accelerate troubleshooting, avoid outages, and modernize network management.

Over the past few years, Forward Networks has received tremendous industry
recognition, including “Cool Vendor in Enterprise Networking” by Gartner, “Product of
the Year” by Cloud Computing, “Enterprise Cloud Computing Software of the Year,” and
has been named to Fortune’s 2022 “Best Workplaces in the Bay Area” list.

The company was founded by four Stanford PhD graduates who saw a massive
opportunity to improve network operations. Investors include Andreessen Horowitz,
Threshold Ventures, and Goldman Sachs.
