Description

At Close, we're building the sales communication platform of the future. With our roots as the very first sales CRM to include built-in calling, we're leading the industry toward eliminating manual processes and helping companies to close more deals (faster). Since our founding in 2013, we've grown to become a profitable, 100% globally distributed team of ~70 high-performing, happy people that are dedicated to building a product our customers love. • Backend tech stack consists primarily of Python Flask web apps with our TaskTiger scheduler handling many of the backend asynchronous task processing chores. • Data stores include MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and Redis. • The underlying infrastructure runs on AWS using a combination of managed services like EKS, MSK, RDS and ElasticCache and non-managed services running on EC2 instances. • All of our compute runs through CI/CD pipelines that build Docker images, run automated tests and deploy to our Kubernetes clusters. • Our backend primarily serves a well-documented public API that our front-end JavaScript app consumes. • Our infrastructure is heavily automated using Terraform, Ansible and other AWS tools.

Requirements

Senior/Staff level candidates should have 5+ years experience building modern back-end systems. Mid-level candidates should have ~3 years of similar experience and be eager to level up with the right opportunity. • Python experience is preferred but experience in other languages is acceptable if you have a desire to work with Python. • You have hands-on production experience working with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, or similar data stores. • You have experience designing, scaling, debugging, and optimizing systems to make them fast and reliable. • You have participated in code reviews and provided overall code quality suggestions to help maintain the structure and quality of the codebase. • You care about the craftsmanship of the code and systems you produce. • Located in the USA.
