Full Job Description
Our Compass Integrated Services team powers Next, a brokerage productivity platform that streamlines operational workflows by providing staff with a clear, prioritized view of what needs to happen next. Cases and tasks adapt to the use case, from transaction coordination to welcoming and onboarding new agents. Next improves efficiency while enabling staff to deliver more consistent, high-value support to real estate professionals.

Our team is focused on improving visibility, consistency, and control in transaction execution. We are standardizing how work is created, tracked, and completed within the brokerage environment. Functionally, Next acts as an operational layer connecting people, tasks, and transaction data, enabling brokerages to manage processes more efficiently at scale. As part of Compass's broader broker and transaction tooling, we play a key role in simplifying operational complexity while improving productivity and consistency across distributed teams.
At Compass, You Will:

  • Drive Workflow and Data Model Enhancements: Contribute to the evolution of Next's underlying data models and workflows, helping define how tasks, cases, and transactions are structured, triggered, and tracked across the platform.
  • Own End-to-End Delivery: Own features end-to-end, from technical design through implementation, deployment, monitoring, and production support.
  • Partner in Product Discovery: Collaborate closely with product managers and business stakeholders during the discovery phase of new initiatives. Translate complex requirements into clear technical blueprints and executable roadmaps.
  • Modernize and Improve Legacy Experiences: Help transition existing functionality to modern frontend patterns and architectures while maintaining continuity for business users.
  • Act as a Technical Multiplier: Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and establish engineering best practices. You will align your squad on technical direction while effectively resolving ambiguity in legacy migrations
What We Look For:
  • 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong emphasis on frontend development using TypeScript and React.
  • Deep expertise in frontend architecture, complex state management, and building scalable, reusable UI component libraries.
  • Proven experience migrating legacy frontend applications to modern web architectures while maintaining a seamless user experience.
  • Strong understanding of web performance optimization, accessibility standards (a11y), and cross-browser compatibility.
  • Solid experience integrating complex frontend applications with backend microservices via gRPC.
  • A collaborative, full-stack mindset with the ability and willingness to navigate or contribute to backend services (e.g., Go, Java, or Node.js) when needed to unblock features.
  • Dedication to frontend testing best practices utilizing tools like Jest, Cypress, or React Testing Library.
  • Comfort working across modern CI/CD tooling, frontend build pipelines (e.g., Webpack, Vite), and collaborative Git-based workflows.
  • Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools in real delivery environments, including familiarity with tools like ClaudeCode and concepts such as CLAUDE.md project configuration and custom skills.
  • BS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
