Senior Security Engineer I

At Compass, our mission is to help everyone find their place in the world. Founded in 2012, we’re revolutionizing the real‑estate industry with our end‑to‑end platform that empowers residential real‑estate agents to deliver exceptional service to seller and buyer clients.

Engineering @ Compass

Compass has built the first modern end‑to‑end real‑estate platform by integrating agents, buyers, and sellers through technology. Until Compass, no one has achieved the blend of the Natural Intelligence that hundreds of thousands of enterprising real‑estate agents bring to this market, with the “Artificial Intelligence” that cloud, mobile, and AI technologies enable. We are building AI to empower AI – Artificial Intelligence to empower Agent Intelligence.

Security @ Compass

We are hands‑on security engineers helping to build secure, resilient, and scalable web platforms. We work with a diverse set of teams to provide and support transparent and automated security tooling and services. We architect secure web products, perform simulated attacks, identify weaknesses, and work with teams to remediate and protect our products. You will help lead our efforts to build security as a service to drive safe‑by‑default environments and drive customer trust.

What You Will Do

• Collaborate with engineering and security teams to drive deployment of security enhancements and control changes across our cloud infrastructure and development platform.
