Remote Backend + Front End + JavaScript + SaaS + Travel Jobs

**About Us** \n\nAt [Close](https://close.com), 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 43 high-performing, happy people that are dedicated to building a product our customers love.\n\nOur 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.\n\nWe 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 Freehand wireframes, and communicating continuously when those ideas are brought to life using Figma and code.\n\nOur 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.\n\nWe ❤️ open source – using dozens of open source projects with contributions to many of them, and released some of our own like [react-custom-scroller](https://making.close.com/posts/introducting-react-custom-scroller-component), [use-infinite-scroll](https://making.close.com/posts/introducting-use-infinite-scroll-react-hook), [use-abortable-effect](https://making.close.com/posts/introducting-use-abortable-effect-react-hook), [backbone-testing-library](https://github.com/closeio/backbone-testing-library), [smart-tooltip-delay](https://making.close.com/posts/introducing-smart-tooltip-delay-library), [Microphone Recorder to Mp3](https://github.com/closeio/mic-recorder-to-mp3), [filevalidator.js](https://github.com/closeio/filevalidator.js), [addresscompiler](https://github.com/closeio/addresscompiler), [backbone.mousetrap](https://github.com/closeio/backbone.mousetrap), and more at https://github.com/closeio.\n\n**About You**\n\nWe're looking for an experienced full-time (or part-time) Frontend Software Engineer to join our engineering team.
