Backed by Stanford.
About the role
As a Senior Network Automation TME, you will sit at the intersection of product and go-to-market execution . You will translate Forward's differentiated automation capabilities — network queries, verification-as-code, API-driven workflows, and CI/CD-style change validation — into compelling automation workflows, technical content, and field enablement that resonate with network automation practitioners and decision-makers.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of experience as a Technical Marketing Engineer, Sales Engineer, Network Engineer, or similar customer-facing technical role
- Strong understanding of enterprise networking concepts, including routing, switching, and network change management
- Experience with NetDevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure-as-code workflows applied to networking
- Familiarity with source control (Git), API integration, and building automation against network data models
- Hands-on experience with network automation tooling and frameworks (e.g., Ansible, Terraform, Python, REST APIs, or similar)
- Experience working with complex enterprise networks across on-prem, virtualized, and cloud environments
More about this 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.
