UI Engineer - Apps Team

About this role

<p>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.</p> <p>Global leaders like Goldman Sachs, PayPal, S&amp;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.</p> <p>Forward Networks is currently seeking a Senior UI Engineer.</p> <p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">5+ years of professional front-end engineering experience</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ability to write high-quality and unit-tested JavaScript</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Comfortable debugging and profiling web apps with browser dev tools</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Care about code quality, user experience, and visual design</span></li> </ul> <p><strong>Nice to Haves:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mastery of CSS and HTML fundamentals</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Familiarity with the latest CSS layout standards (flexbox, grid)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Comfortable working directly with Web APIs and the DOM</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Experience building single-page applications using at least one of the major front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Vue)</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A good eye for visual design; you get annoyed when things aren't pixel-perfect</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Knowledge of patterns and best practices related to interaction design and information architecture</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Experience designing and integrating with REST APIs</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Comfortable with version control, continuous integration, and pre-commit code reviews</span></li> </ul> <p><strong>NOTE</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Experience in the networking domain is NOT a requirement for this role but is a plus.</span></p> <p>This position is a regular, full-time in-office opportunity with Forward Networks in Bangalore, India.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
