## About the role

When you apply, you’ll have an opportunity to highlight the team that appeals to you the most. We’ll do our best to honor this preference, but we'll also be evaluating skillset fit and the needs of the business. One thing to know up front: we do move people between teams as the work shifts. Most engineers here end up on more than one team over their time at Close - this team is where you’ll start, but over time you’ll likely have the opportunity to work on many different projects.

## What they're looking for

- A seasoned engineer. Python is our backbone, but perhaps you’ve worked across Go, Rust, or TypeScript. You pick the right tool for the problem rather than retreating to what you know. You’ve seen a variety of problems, can collaborate and self-direct
- A builder first. You’d rather get the first iteration of a feature in front of fifty customers than spend three weeks fretting over a perfect PR. You ship
- Opinionated about API design for modern software. You've shipped internet-facing APIs and you think about who's on the other end - apps, agents, humans poking around in docs - and what each of them needs
- Battle-tested. You've debugged incidents where latency budgets didn't hold, owned a system everyone else relied on, or carried a pager for something with real customer impact
