Loading LAYIQ…From Forward's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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 looking for a GRC Engineer. GRC Engineering is a new discipline: instead of chasing down screenshots every quarter and hoping the auditor doesn't ask too many follow-up questions, you're building scripts and API integrations that pull evidence straight from the source systems and keep it current on their own. If you've spent any time reading about the field, you've probably run into grc.engineering, the GRC Engineering Club, or grcengineer.com.
We'd rather hire someone who already thinks this way than someone who needs to be convinced of it; if your engineering skills enable doing more than a traditional GRC Analyst role, you're the right fit.
Your initial focus, likely for the next 6 months, is
GRC Engineering
: compliance automation, audit management (SOC 2, ISO 27001/42001), control design and testing, and risk management.
Once the most critical automations are in place, this job broadens to include a Security Operations piece: mostly SIEM and SOAR work plus whatever incident response comes up. This is your chance to go beyond mere exposure to SecOps work, to directly participate in alert triage, SIEM/SOAR administration and tuning, enforcement work, and incident response. This is a real split, and we're looking for someone who can grow to handle both types of work.
The base pay range for this role is between $140,000 and $170,000. This range represents the low and high end of the salary for this position. Actual compensation will vary based on factors including location, candidate experience, skills, and level.
