Why Join Forward?

We don’t want to just move dollars around the healthcare industry - we want to rebuild it and fix it. All of it. You’d be a major part of the story behind one of the most ambitious startup attempts of the past decade and you’d work with a team of people who want to use their talents for good.

Many industries, from video streaming to electric vehicles, have removed intermediaries to provide their services directly to consumers. Healthcare, arguably the most important and personal industry, has continually been delivered via complex insurance plans -- until now. As an early member of our growth team, you will help us deliver high-quality healthcare, happiness and peace of mind to new members everywhere. (More on Direct Primary Care here if you’re curious)

You Will:

  • Directly contribute to Forward's mission to serve a billion people. The growth team’s work is the first touch point for everyone who joins us, employees and customers alike.
  • Build platforms and tools to empower growth marketing to iterate on sales and marketing experiments, and attract not only members, but world-class doctors and engineers.
  • Write APIs, spin up Databases, and go deep on AWS infrastructure to build scalable systems, not temporary hacks. 
  • Work with many different teams, from engineering, product and design, to analysts, recruiting, marketing and beyond.
  • Work on many parts of our stack from our website, and mobile apps, to our internal work platform.

You Are:

  • Someone who loves to ship and see their work out in the wild.
  • Always trying to optimize for outcomes. You love seeing the impact of your work, and can tell from the data if you’ve achieved your goals.
  • Creative. You love to experiment to find the best solution or idea.
  • Someone who holds a high quality bar. The team needs to move fast, and in order to do so safely, they have to put down stable foundations along the way.
  • Versatile and comfortable in all parts of the stack.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • BS or MS in Computer Science or direct equivalent
  • Some frontend experience in a job or internship

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with a frontend framework like React, Angular, or Vue.js
  • Comfortable building APIs and scalable services
  • Growth engineering experience is optional, but a plus!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
