Closinglock’s motto? “We win together as a team, and we lose together as a team.” The phrase serves as a reminder for employees as they build out the company and its culture. Team members share a similar mindset, goals and a penchant for collaboration, hard work, transparency and candor. And they trust one another, which is essential to accomplish their goals. “I know everyone has the initiative and work ethic to operate independently and on a team,” said Hannah Gacke, director of customer success. “That’s critical when everyone wears so many hats.” Closinglock’s mission is critical, too. “Working here means doing good: We’re fighting to protect home buyers from fraud,” said Director of Engineering Caleb Richard.
A highly-selective screening process means Closinglock is full of superstar tech talent.

Professional development tools help employees thrive
There’s always room to grow at Closinglock. “We encourage employees to try different roles or meet cross-departmentally to find the perfect fit for their skills and passions,” Lampl said. To excel, employees need the right tools. Luckily, they are provided with the top software for each department’s needs, books and online courses. Coaching that encompasses one-on-ones with peers, mentors and executives is readily available, too. “Leadership makes themselves accessible to all employees and makes an effort to lean in and remove obstacles where needed.”
Adam Lampl
Director of Sales
I started at the bottom of the ranks. I learned from others and have grown professionally to where I am now. Everyone I manage gets the guidance and leadership they need to grow their career in any path they choose.
Laying the groundwork
A culture built on a foundation of trust
Hannah Gacke
Director of Customer Success
Gacke is always learning from her teammates, who she describes as fun, diligent, collaborative and hard-working. There’s already a foundation of trust among colleagues, which bolsters flexibility and work-life balance. They’re building on that foundation, too. “We’re young and constantly growing; anyone who has an idea can raise their hand and execute it themselves or with a team,” Gacke said. Those ideas run the gamut from organizing events or adding a new snack to the kitchen to making the office space more inviting.
We support each other on work endeavors and outside interests. I’m more and more proud of the company we’re building and the people I work with.
More Than Code
Engineers shape the mission to achieve it
Richard’s team works toward eliminating real estate wire fraud. To accomplish that lofty goal, they might develop a new feature to simplify the user experience or delve into technical aspects of network security to maintain company security standards. “There’s an energy and exchange of ideas that I haven’t felt anywhere else,” Richard said. “Engineers connect with all areas of the business. They develop an understanding of how a business grows and the best ways to contribute to that growth as an engineer, besides lines of code written.”
