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.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Engineering Manager to lead a high-impact mobile team, building an app that transforms the home buying and selling experience into something truly delightful. You will lead a fast-paced team of iOS and Android Engineers to deliver technical solutions that meet the evolving business needs of real estate and Compass. You will collaborate with Product and Engineering leaders to define the roadmap for your team during Yearly and Quarterly planning. You will lead new Product and Platform initiatives, accompanying engineers to distill them into manageable subparts that can be divided across several team members.

As a Senior Engineering Manager, you will drive both the strategic direction and tactical execution of technical decisions, ensuring your team balances trade-offs and delivers well-reasoned, high-impact solutions. You will guide iOS and Android engineers through complex technical challenges, fostering a culture of engineering excellence while optimizing for operational efficiency. Your leadership will help shape long-term technical strategy while ensuring day-to-day execution aligns with business goals and operational priorities.

Outside of product-driven projects, you will lead mobile Engineers to determine how 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. You will also act as a mentor for your team, helping members to grow from both a technical and career perspective.

What you will do:

• Lead, mentor, and guide a team of iOS and Android Engineers to foster a culture of high performance.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, Engineering, and other Business partners to scope and implement new technical initiatives, streamline processes, automate tasks, and educate employees on effective technology usage.
• Manage the daily activities of iOS and Android Engineers delivering critical features and enhancements for Compass’s product and business growth.
• Provide leadership and direction to complete team tasks, resolve issues, and meet project milestones. The Company's success is your success.
• Develop and implement efficient team operation processes across Agile, Release Management, Production Support, and Software Development Life Cycle.
• Define a clear vision for the short- and long-term technical roadmap, ensuring alignment with business and team goals.
• Collaborate with Product and other external partners in Yearly and Quarterly planning exercises to define the roadmap of your team, in a way that maximizes impact on the business.

Bonuses and restricted stock units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to a full range of benefits. Base pay is based on market location. Minimum wage for the position will always be met.

Participation in our incentive programs (which may include where eligible cash, equity, or commissions). Plus paid vacation, holidays, sick time, parental leave, marriage leave, and recharge leave; medical, tele-health, dental and vision benefits; 401(k) plan; flexible spending accounts (FSAs); commuter program; life and disability insurance; Maven (a support system for new parents); Carrot (fertility benefits); UrbanSitter (caregiver referral network); Employee Assistance Program; and pet insurance.
