Close is a CRM company focused on helping SMBs succeed and scale through communication-first sales software. They are seeking a Senior Engineer to join their Finance + Data Team to own the technical infrastructure of their internal business systems, ensuring they are connected and intelligent, while also creating automation and AI-enabled tools to enhance workflows and decision-making.
Responsibilities:
- Spend your first few months getting hands-on with our data infrastructure, diagnosing what’s broken, and establishing the foundation everything else builds on
- Audit and rebuild our event tracking foundation so every downstream system is working from a single source of truth
- You’ll verify our top of funnel tracking, fix what’s misconfigured, and ensure we’re tracking the right events the right way
- Collaborate with Product and Engineering on product analytics instrumentation, providing input on naming conventions, event schemas, and validation while owning the GTM-side tracking implementation to ensure our data is clean and queryable from day one
- Diagnose and fix the broken handoffs between our GTM tools (Segment, Customer.io, as our CRM, our warehouse)
- Map the full GTM data architecture and create the technical documentation that becomes the team’s operating reference, identifying what’s redundant, what’s broken, and what should be built next
- Once the foundation is solid, you’ll shift from fixing to building: creating the automation and intelligence layer that makes our GTM teams faster and smarter
- Build automation that saves Sales and Marketing teams hours every week
- Build AI-enabled tools that surface business intelligence in the flow of work, lead scoring models, Slack bots that answer data questions, or dashboards that update themselves
- Own the technical implementation of our GTM tools
- Maintain the infrastructure that powers product analytics for the entire company
- Create AI agents that can generate business reviews, answer complex questions across our data, and surface insights that would otherwise require a human analyst and a week of work
- Build self-serve data tools that enable stakeholders to get insights without waiting for someone to build them a dashboard, from natural language queries over our warehouse to automated reporting that adapts to what leadership needs
- Integrate AI into our core GTM workflows, embedding predictive models, intelligent alerts, and agent-driven automation and operational systems that run the business day-to-day
Requirements:
- A Senior engineer with 5+ years of experience in a hands-on software engineer, data engineer, or systems engineer role with a proven ability to build scalable systems at the intersection of data, business, and product
