Senior iOS Software Engineer (Contractor - LatAm)

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.

What you will do :

Lead the challenging effort of auditing and re-thinking the System Designs framework of the iOS app, consumed by 20+ developers

Work in a startup-like and agile environment, building new components iteratively

Collaborate closely with other engineers to push our iOS platform forward, devising engineering-led Design System initiatives that will prepare the platform for the future of Real Estate

Evaluate and understand the technical trade offs necessary to bring engineering initiatives to fruition, weighing different approaches and arriving to a recommended solution, detailing its pros and cons

Independently define, decompose, and lead delivery of complex milestones, iteratively developing the Design System framework

Perform code reviews, design reviews, and write high quality tests

Advocate for efficient, scalable, and extensible approaches that solve technical problems in a manner that stands the test of time

Hold yourself and your team to a high standard of code quality and operational rigor, ensuring that code is well-tested, and your systems have appropriate monitoring, alerting, and runbooks implemented

Become the subject matter expert for the Design System component of the iOS app

Create clear and concise documentation (diagrams, service descriptions, decisions, runbooks)

Identify and remove bottlenecks to address inefficiencies in the developer experience

Guide junior engineers on the team, building their technical skills and ensuring that they understand best practices around engineering and operational excellence

What we look for :

BS in CS or equivalent practical experience

6+ years of professional iOS development experience shipping apps to the App Store using Swift

3+ years of professional SwiftUI and Combine development experience

Experience with other modern Swift development technologies, Swift Concurrency, and Reactive Programming (Combine, RxSwift, ReactiveSwift, etc)

Ability to collaborate with Engineering, Design and Product stakeholders to build highly reusable UI components that delight our customers, whether they are other engineers or end users

Understanding of Computer Science fundamentals and iOS design patterns and best practices, ability to create frameworks that scale and are easy to consume by other developers

High attention to detail, the services you build should not merely be functional but should take in context and anticipate our customer’s needs in a thoughtful way

Experience integrating with RESTful server-side services

Experience with Scrum / Agile development methodologies

Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Passion about helping more junior engineers to learn

What does the interview process look like?

Once the team gets your updated resume the first step is a short chat with the recruiting team to get to know you better and also to answer the first questions you might have. You will hear back from Compass within a week, even if you are not a good fit.

Right after you’ll get an invite to a technical screening interview. This is done by a Compass partner with night and weekend availability, low pressure redo opportunity, paired with a seasoned engineer and objective interview, reducing bias.

The main loop of interviews is as follows, each interview takes about 60 minutes with 10 minutes reserved at the end so that you can ask questions (we think it’s important that you get to know us too). These interviews are done by Compass Engineers :

Main Coding interview

System design interview

Tech deep dive & cultural fit

Compass aims to move fast, the entire process should not take more than 2 weeks .
