Description

• About Us Close is a bootstrapped, profitable, 100% remote, ~90 person team of thoughtful individuals who value autonomy and impact. We’re eager to make a product our customers fall in love with over and over again. We ❤️ startups & SMBs. Since 2013, we’ve been building a CRM that focuses on better communication, without the hassle of manual data entry or complex UI. Our goal: double the productivity of every sales rep. Our app’s frontend is a single-page JavaScript web app mostly written in React (originally built with Backbone.js ). We bundle with Webpack and target only modern browsers. We test with Jest and React Testing Library. Our UI updates in near real-time and is written in LESS/CSS (with flexbox and grid layout) using CSS modules and takes advantage of fun technologies like Websockets and WebRTC. We house our design system in Storybook. We care about performance (e.g. route-based code splitting), maintainability, and testability of our frontend code. We sweat the UI/UX details and work collaboratively with the Product team throughout the design process. This means diving into lo-fi wireframes and communicating continuously when those ideas are brought to life using Figma and code. Our frontend app is built on top of our REST API & GraphQL endpoints. Our backend tech stack consists of Python/Flask, MongoDB, Postgres, Elasticsearch, and Redis. We run our services in Docker on AWS. We ❤️ open sourcing our code and ideas on our GitHub and on The Making of Close , our behind-the-scenes Product & Engineering blog. Check our projects such as react-custom-scroller , use-infinite-scroll , use-abortable-effect , and smart-tooltip-delay or insights from our day-to-day work on such as Highlights From a Complex Downshift.js Refactor , A Case Study in 'Reactizing' a Complex Backbone View , and Finding the cause of a memory leak in Jest tests . • About You We're looking for an experienced full-time (or part-time) Frontend Software Engineer to join our engineering team.
