Senior Security Engineer II

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 recognize that the most innovative teams are built from diverse backgrounds and unique skill sets, which is why we don’t expect any single candidate to check every box. You do not need to meet 100% of these qualifications to apply. We are primarily looking for deep, practical experience in at least one of our core domains—such as endpoint management, identity, AI security, or Infrastructure-as-Code—along with a strong desire to learn the rest.

If you are passionate about solving complex security challenges and eager to grow alongside Compass, we highly encourage you to submit your application.
