Forward Networks
Hiring · 19 open jobsGeneral information
Forward Networks makes network digital twin software. It builds mathematical models of a company's network so teams can test changes and find security gaps before they cause problems. Its products are Forward Enterprise, Forward Predict, and Forward AI. The company is based in Santa Clara, United States.
Four Stanford PhD researchers founded Forward Networks on July 23, 2013, in Palo Alto, California. The company stayed in stealth mode until November 2016, then raised a $50 million Series D round in January 2023. It is a private company that has raised over $101 million in venture capital. That matters: with no parent company or stock listing, Forward Networks answers to its venture investors, not to shareholders on a public market.
Currently, there's a total of 16 job openings at Forward Networks. Over the last 30 days, 7 jobs were added and 7 were removed (job postings usually stay up ~21 days before being removed). Forward Networks is an H-1B sponsor.1
