Senior iOS Software Engineer

Compass envisions a world where the experience of selling or buying a home is simple and pleasant for everyone. Founded in 2012, Compass provides a cloud-based end-to-end platform that empowers residential real estate agents to deliver exceptional service to their seller and buyer clients, all in service of its mission to help everyone find their place in the world.

As one of the fastest-growing technology companies in an industry of nearly $4 trillion, Compass has built a world-class Engineering team operating the only end-to-end platform in the real estate industry. The platform gives Compass the edge to push the boundaries of value we can add for our customers.

We are looking for an experienced iOS engineer to help Compass build a platform that makes the home buying or selling experience delightful. You will be one of the technical leaders in your immediate team, responsible for auditing and re-thinking the System Designs framework in the iOS team, consumed by 20+ developers. You will work with other engineers to determine how System Designs components can help to push our platform forward, devising engineering-led initiatives that ensure we can work quickly and efficiently while maintaining a high standard of operational excellence. Your work will prepare the platform for the future of Real Estate. It will enable present and future engineers to move faster during projects from planning to completion, directly making an impact in our customers’ day-to-day lives.

Our teams are small, start-up-like, and entrepreneurial, where we value every engineer’s input. We collaborate closely with various engineering partners to take projects from idea to done with a high degree of autonomy and ownership. You will be responsible for understanding the current state of the Design System framework and imagine the next steps to set it up for success for the future. You will distill the work you have identified into manageable subparts that can be worked on iteratively and make an incremental impact.

During a project’s execution, you will act as a leader ensuring any technical questions are considered pragmatically and trade offs considered, with a well-reasoned and understood solution being executed upon. You will guide more junior engineers through technical problems, ensuring that they follow best practices from an engineering and operational excellence perspective. Your influence won’t end once a project ships. Due to the iterative approach of building a Design System framework, you will be relied upon by various stakeholders to build iteratively on the framework and continuously benefit our customers.
