Role
Who you are
- BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven track record of delivering complex technical components autonomously
- Proficiency in Go and professional experience with Python (highly preferred for telemetry pipelines and AI workflows)
- Practical experience working with data pipelines, engineering telemetry streams, large-scale observability infrastructures (logs, metrics, traces), or developer metrics frameworks
- Experience embedding AI models, LLM APIs, or automated orchestration tools into software pipelines or system triaging workflows
- Experience developing, deploying, and operating software components on a major cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Desirable
- Familiarity with core SDLC infrastructure - including exposure to build systems, local development environments, or automated testing frameworks
- A strong track record of building internal tools for other engineers, with an active focus on resolving developer pain points
- Experience automating and simplifying internal development practices to boost team-wide engineering productivity
What the job involves
- The Engineering Platform organization owns the systems that every engineer at Compass depends on to build, test, deploy, and operate software
- Our mission is to reduce friction across the SDLC, improve engineering effectiveness, and build the foundation for AI-enabled software development
- This role is centered on maximizing localized engineering velocity by creating fast feedback loops, optimizing system efficiency, and building reliable workflows across the software development lifecycle
- As a Senior Engineer within the Developer Intelligence pillar, you will be an autonomous contributor focused on key components of our platform - working across observability, engineering telemetry, software catalog systems, and AI-assisted workflows to deliver durable, high-quality team capabilities
- Applying AI to the software development lifecycle is a first-class responsibility for this role
- You will own and implement systems that use engineering signals to automate manual developer work, improve testing frameworks, assist with production troubleshooting, and create smart workflow orchestrations across your team’s technical domain
- Deliver and implement technical solutions for Developer Intelligence systems, focusing on engineering telemetry collection, observability instrumentation, and AI-assisted tooling
- Analyze developer workflows and SDLC feedback loops to design testable, maintainable, and efficient software components that resolve architectural deficiencies
- Build and maintain subsystems that reliably collect, correlate, and operationalize data from CI/CD pipelines, source control, testing infrastructure, and developer workflows
- Write high-quality, stable, and performant code to integrate AI tools into daily engineering workflows, including automated code reviews, software validation, and incident triaging
- Work closely with teammates and stakeholders to balance technical requirements, clear project roadblocks, and participate actively in design reviews
- Identify and resolve systemic operational bottlenecks, automate processes, and continuously leave codebases cleaner and easier to maintain
- Actively mentor peers, provide insightful code reviews, and help train newer team members on platform architecture
Our take
Compass uses an AI-driven platform to smooth out and speed up the process of buying, selling, or renting property. It functions much like a traditional broker, but employs tech to reduce the time, uncertainty, cost and friction of transactions for buyers, sellers and agents.
It's disrupting a sector so far largely averse to tech innovation, allowing users to close deals in less time than the industry average of 30-45 days. Compass is now the largest independent real estate brokerage in the USA, with over 29,000 agents nationwide.
In 2025, Compass acquired Anywhere Real Estate in a major leap that cements its place among the biggest players in US property. By uniting leading brokerage brands and expanding its agent network on a massive scale, Compass strengthens both its reach and its tech-driven platform. This adds new revenue opportunities, positioning the company to help shape the future of real estate.
