Since 2013, we've been building a CRM that gets out of our customers’ way and helps teams sell more, faster. No manual data entry, just communication-first sales software designed to help SMBs succeed and scale.
We're bootstrapped and profitable which means we answer to our customers and play by our own rules. We're proud of our ~120 person, 100% remote team of thoughtful individuals who prioritize taking ownership and making a meaningful impact.
Our Engineering team has grown to 50+ members across Frontend, Backend, and Infrastructure. We prioritize craftsmanship and collaboration. We’re committed to shipping the things that matter to our customers in the most thoughtful, scalable, and innovative ways possible.
Our app’s frontend is a single-page TypeScript web app mostly written in React (originally built with Backbone.js). Our mobile app is built using React Native. We bundle with Vite and target only modern browsers. We test with Vitest, React Testing Library, Playwright, and Chromatic for VRT. Our UI updates in near real-time, is styled via CSS modules, and takes advantage of fun technologies like Websockets and WebRTC.
We care about performance (e.g. route-based code splitting or skeleton UI), 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. We’ve built our own design system, for which we have created an extensive Storybook to explore and test.
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 Under the Hood: Developing Close's AI-Powered Call Assistant, Cutting our Lead page LCP by half, and Highlights From a Complex Downshift.js Refactor.
