Senior Infrastructure Engineer - Asset Hub

Company Overview

Most companies don't end in acquisition — they end in closure. Yet shutdown has never been given the same rigor, clarity, or professionalism as the moments that came before it. Nearly 4 million companies shut down every year, creating a massive, overlooked market. Simple Closure is building the infrastructure to change that.

Having raised over $20M from leading VCs and trusted by more than 7,000 companies to date, we streamline the entire business dissolution process — from legal and tax to operational and administrative — as one coordinated effort instead of a patchwork of disconnected steps. We take it a step further by connecting founders with buyers for their remaining assets, so they can realize value that would otherwise be lost.

Joining Simple Closure means helping define an entirely new category, solving complex, high‑quality, scalable, and maintainable solutions. This position is hybrid in NYC and reports directly to the CTO.
