We are a small team doing great things - every role is critical to the success of this company. People that are most successful at Close have a resourceful, "doer" approach and mentality. We focus on productivity, impact and quality of work. We're looking for team members that genuinely understand the nature of being part of a small team that operates in a bootstrapped / start-up-like environment.

At Close, everyone has a voice. We encourage transparency and practicing a mature approach to the work-place. In general, we don't have strict policies, we have guidelines. Life-work harmony is an important part of our organization - we believe you bring your best to work when you practice self-care (whatever that looks like for you).

We come from 12 countries and 16 states; a collection of talented humans rich in diverse backgrounds, lifestyles, and cultures. Twice a year we meet up somewhere around the world to spend time with one another (however we're opting for quarterly virtual summits during 2020/2021). We see these retreats as an opportunity to strengthen the social fiber of our community. This team is growing in more ways than one - we've recently launched 14 babies (and counting!).

Unanimously, our favorite and most impactful value is "Build a house you want to live in." We strive to make decisions that are authentic for our organization. At Close, we have a high care factor for one another, in making an awesome product and championing the success of our customers.
