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 ](https://developer.close.com/) that our front-end JavaScript app consumes.\n\nWe ❤️open source – using dozens of open source projects with contributions to many of them, and released some of our own like [ciso8601](https://github.com/closeio/ciso8601), [LimitLion](https://github.com/closeio/limitlion), [SocketShark](https://github.com/closeio/socketshark), [TaskTiger](https://github.com/closeio/tasktiger), and more at https://github.com/closeio\n\n\n**About You**\n\nWe're looking for an experienced full-time Software Engineer to join our engineering team.
