Summary from the posting
Close runs on Python: Flask web apps, TaskTiger, billions of MongoDB documents, a public REST API that customers and external agents both build on. Four product teams ship features on top of that every week. Backend Platform owns the foundation underneath it all.
As an Engineer on our Backend Platform team, you’re building for other engineers. When a product team adds a new API endpoint, most of what they write isn't their feature , it's wiring: authentication, permissions, rate limiting, the shape the endpoint has to take so it looks like every other endpoint when you squint.
This is a short summary. The full description, requirements and the application form are on Close's own career page.
