#About Us\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 60+ high-performing, happy people that are dedicated to building a product our customers love.\n\nOur backend [tech stack](https://stackshare.io/close-crm/close) currently consists of Python Flask web apps with our [TaskTiger](https://github.com/closeio/tasktiger) scheduler handling many of the backend asynchronous task processing chores. Our data stores include MongoDB, Postgres, 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](https://developer.close.com/) that our front-end JavaScript app consumes. Our infrastructure is heavily automated using AWS tools, Terraform, and Ansible.\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#About You\nWe're looking for a full-time Site Reliability Engineer with a passion for databases(both SQL and NoSQL) to join our core team who has significant experience building, managing, and monitoring infrastructure, databases, and backend services at scale.\n\n#Come help us with projects like- \n* Scale our Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB clusters to support our data growth\n* Automate the maintenance and upgrades of our PostgreSQL and MongoDB databases\n* Further develop our Prometheus/Grafana monitoring infrastructure\n* Tighten security across our infrastructure\n* Improve our [public API’s](https://developer.close.com/) performance and resiliency\n* Building out our Kubernetes infrastructure to include additional services, increased redundancy/scalability, and harnessing new k8s features\n* Implement autoscaling techniques that balance performance, workload demands and costs\n* Improve our CI/CD process making builds/deployments faster and safer\n\n*Bonus: Are you a PostgreSQL or MongoDB expert?
