About Closure

Closure helps law enforcement search evidence and solve crime.

Public servants across the U.S. use Closure to expedite investigations into cold cases, homicides, gang conflicts, sexual assault, and other serious offenses. We’re live with police departments and prosecutors across the country, reducing evidence overload throughout the criminal justice system.

Closure is an intentionally tight-knit team of ambitious ex-Palantir and ex-IDF engineers and operators. We operate with a high speed, high integrity, and high autonomy, backed by reputable investors including Y Combinator, CRV, Pathlight, and others.

Role Description

Live With Users: You are thrilled to apply your engineering skills to solving real-world user problems, directly with users (and frequently in-person).

Owner-Builder Mindset: Bias toward action, thrives in extremely fast-paced environments. Looking to do the best work of your life.
