Developers at Forward Labs

What we do

Forward Labs builds new tech businesses. Tech is obviously key to everything we do. Our teams of software engineers create new tech businesses with marketers, designers and entrepreneurs.

We believe in using the best technology for each startup we create. We love Ruby, Rails, Clojure, Node.js, R, Java, Hadoop, Mongo, Redis, Neo4j, Hbase, Objective C and more. Labs developers are expected to be confident in designing new systems from the ground up and scaling them as they grow.

Working in Labs

We pretty much leave it up to developers to decide which projects they want to work on. It could be one of our startups or some of our core team technology that services the companies we create. If developers fall in love with a project, it's possible to work on it full-time with a chance of equity.

Software engineers at Labs work alongside other talented devs, with the freedom to experiment, innovate and build amazing products from the ground up. Devs work closely with entrepreneurs helping shape the future direction, decisions and culture of the businesses we create.
