Employer job description
From Compass's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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.
About the Role
Every transaction, every listing view, every agent interaction at Compass touches a database, a cache, or a streaming pipeline owned by the Streaming & Durability team. This team is responsible for the foundational data layer: the systems that have to be fast, correct, and isolated across thousands of tenants, every single time.
We don't just keep the lights on. We're solving hard, unsolved problems: how do you enforce tenant-level data isolation across a fleet of shared PostgreSQL clusters and Redis/Valkey caches without sacrificing latency? How do you upgrade 50+ production databases with zero downtime while application teams ship features on top of them? How do you build SDKs that make the safe path the easy path for hundreds of engineers who never think about infrastructure?
