How we know

It hasn't been reposted, listed twice, or left up unusually long, and the posting doesn't say it's a talent pool.

Ghostless records the day it first sees a posting, so a repost can't reset its age. This one was already up when Ghostless started tracking Forward, so its true age is longer.

Last checked Nov 4, 2026.

What the posting discloses

Not stated: Pay, real vacancy, AI screening.

Why these three

Ontario requires postings from employers with 25 or more staff to state the pay, whether the vacancy exists, and whether AI screens applicants.

Some employers add pay only on their own site. Check the original posting before you rule it out.

About the role

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 Senior Backend Software Engineer to work as part of our Platforms team. You will play a critical role in designing, developing, and scaling the core backend services and infrastructure that support our SaaS and on-prem deployments. Your contributions will have a direct impact on the stability, performance, and scalability of our platform, helping to ensure an exceptional experience for our customers.

Responsibilities

  • Platform development: Contribute to the design and development of storage systems, job scheduling systems, data ingestion frameworks, monitoring frameworks etc to ensure high system performance and availability.
  • Feature development: Build and maintain backend frameworks that support essential platform features
  • Scalability & Reliability: Develop scalable, high-performing, and reliable services optimized for handling complex workloads, and high-traffic loads.
  • Monitoring & Visibility: Develop and improve monitoring and logging frameworks to provide deep visibility into system performance, reliability, and application health.

Collaboration: Collaborate with cross functional teams across our US and India offices.

Requirements

  • BS in Computer Science or related degree; MS or PhD preferred
  • 7+ years of full lifecycle software development experience
  • Deep expertise in Java (version 17 or later) and hands-on experience with Spring or other similar frameworks.
  • Strong object-oriented design and development skills
  • Hands on experience with containerization and Kubernetes
  • Several years of backend experience with Java, C++ or similar languages
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience with REST APIs, as well as with frameworks such as Spring or Hibernate
  • Big Data and NoSQL experience

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.
