Senior Frontend Engineer – Growth (USA Only, 100% Remote)
WFA Digital Insight
Close’s Growth team moves at a pace most engineering groups can only envy, turning experimental concepts into ship‑ready features within weeks. The senior frontend engineer will own the visual and interaction layer of an AI‑guided onboarding assistant, a task that blends classic React craftsmanship with the nuances of streamed LLM responses. Because Close funds AI‑centric tooling, candidates are expected to weave large‑language‑model helpers into their daily workflow, not just as a curiosity but as a productivity engine. The role also demands a data‑first mindset: every UI tweak must generate clean experiment data, so the engineer must be comfortable with funnel design and analytics integration. If you enjoy building UI that talks, teaches, and reacts in real time, this is a uniquely hands‑on chance to shape a product that lives at the intersection of sales automation and conversational AI.
Job Description
ABOUT US Since 2013, we’ve been building a CRM that gets out of your way and helps your team sell more, faster. Now we’re building AI into every part of it, so Close does the busywork and your team does the selling. No manual data entry, no 10-click workflows. Just communication-first, AI-powered sales software designed to help you succeed and scale. We're bootstrapped and profitable which means we answer to our customers and play by our rules. We're proud of our 120-person, 100% remote team, focused on building Close so that no small, scaling business fails because it can't figure out sales. OUR STACK Our frontend is a single-page TypeScript web app built in React. We bundle with Vite and target modern browsers only. We test with Vitest, React Testing Library, Playwright, and Chromatic for visual regression. Our UI updates in near real-time using WebSockets and WebRTC, is styled via CSS modules, and is performance-tuned with route-based code splitting and skeleton UI. We've built our own design system, documented in an extensive Storybook. We sweat the UI/UX details and work collaboratively with Product throughout the design process - from lo-fi wireframes through Figma and into code. Our frontend is built on top of our REST API and GraphQL endpoints, backed by a Python/Flask/FastAPI, MongoDB, Postgres and Elasticsearch stack running on AWS. We love open sourcing our code and ideas on our GitHub https://github.com/closeio and on The Making of Close https://making.close.com/, our behind-the-scenes Product & Engineering blog. Check our projects such as 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, and smart-tooltip-delay https://making.close.com/posts/introducing-smart-tooltip-delay-library or insights from our day-to-day work like Under the Hood: Developing Close's AI-Powered Call Assistant https://making.close.com/posts/developing-the-call-assistant, Cutting our Lead page LCP by half https://making.close.com/posts/cutting-our-lead-page-lcp-by-half, and Highlights From a Complex Downshift.js Refactor https://making.close.com/posts/highlights-from-a-complex-downshift-js-refactor/. AI is both how we build and what we ship, and that's reshaped what engineering looks like. This is a transformation we’re embracing and find deeply exciting. ABOUT THE ROLE The Growth team owns the surfaces that turn someone who just signed up into a paying customer who sticks around — onboarding, activation, billing and checkout. The operating mode is simple: find the fastest path to learning, ship it, then standardize and clean up. The Growth team ships in weeks what other teams might take months to do. Two of our exciting projects right now: - Agent-forward experience. We're exploring how agents and AI can make the experience better for our customers and demonstrate the value of Close faster. Our focus is helping users get real value from the product, not just automating on their behalf.
- Creating data from unstructured sources. We're building ways to turn the information customers already have, like their inbox, into a working CRM, so they can skip the manual data entry and see value from Close faster. One thing to know up front: we do move people between teams as the work shifts.
- Fluent in experimentation.
- Experienced with B2B experiment structure. A strong bonus: you've worked in Amplitude on the implementation side, not just the technical configuration side.
- Building AI-powered interfaces.
- Working with AI daily. You use AI tools in your own workflow to ship faster, write tighter code, and reason about unfamiliar parts of the codebase.
- A builder first. You'd rather get the first iteration of a feature in front of fifty customers than spend three weeks fretting over a perfect PR. You ship — and you're comfortable standardizing and cleaning up after the learning lands.
- Turn an inbox into a CRM.
- Design experiments, not just features. Decide what to instrument, define the funnel, and structure metrics so a B2B reality (org-level conversion, user-level behavior) still yields clean answers.
- Work across the whole app. Growth doesn't stay in its lane — onboarding, activation, billing, import, and whatever surface the next experiment needs. The Growth team experiments touch every aspect of the product.
- Move at learning speed. Fastest path to insight first, then standardize and clean up.
- Have ownership and autonomy. The team is relatively new. How Growth frontend engineering works at Close is, in part, yours to shape. Tech you'll touch: TypeScript, React, Vite, Amplitude, CSS Modules, Storybook, Playwright, WebSockets — plus the agent stack behind Chloe.

How to Stand Out
- Showcase a portfolio that includes live React projects with clear experiment tracking or analytics hooks.
- Highlight any LLM‑driven UI components you built; include screenshots or a short video demo.
- Mention specific AI coding assistants you use daily and how they improve your workflow.
- Prepare to discuss a recent experiment you shipped: the hypothesis, metrics captured, and outcomes.
- Be ready to write a small component on the spot that handles streamed data and displays loading/error states.
- Research Close’s open‑source repos beforehand; referencing them in interview answers signals genuine interest.
- During salary discussions, emphasize the equity component and remote‑work flexibility as part of the total compensation.
