About the Role

The Search Infrastructure team is responsible for powering search features across the entire suite of Compass real estate tools. This is the team that ingests listing data and exposes it via a suite of REST APIs used by a wide variety of front-end components across the Compass website and mobile apps. These searches include finding, paginating, sorting, clustering and boosting accurate search results in both list and map contexts.

We are building a best-in-class platform that will launch many new products and features that real estate agents can’t live without. Working on the Search Infrastructure team will give you the opportunity to play a key role in establishing game changing capabilities to an already impressive product. You will also be instrumental in developing the platform, improving search quality, increasing accuracy, boosting performance, and bringing down costs. In addition, you will be working closely with AI/ML teams to design new search facets and algorithms that bring ear to ear smiles to the faces of our real estate agents.

Front End Engineer (Remotely working with our distributed team)

Compass is building 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.

As one of the fastest growing technology companies of our generation, in an industry larger than any other, we have an opportunity and obligation to build a world-class engineering team and the operating platform that will transform the real estate industry. In 2019 we tripled the size of our engineering team, and are searching for creative and inspiring colleagues at all levels of the engineering organization. 

You are a developer who is passionate about creating a fantastic home-search experience and you feel it is critical that your voice is heard in product and business decisions.

You love to learn, and equally love to share your knowledge with others. You’re both a listener and contributor. You are a great communicator and you take care to understand before making yourself understood.You love trying out new frameworks and libraries.
