Senior Full-Stack Engineer, Product

Compass Regulatory simplifies regulatory work for leading agriculture companies, helping them bring new products to the farmers who need them. We tackle regulatory challenges in a unique way, leveraging a modern software platform that increases automation, security, and organization of regulatory work—supported by a team of deep regulatory experts who help our customers navigate a complex, evolving landscape. We then make that critical data available to product users across the industry, from retailers to farm technology providers.

A nimble, quickly-growing startup based in the Bay Area, Compass is backed by top-tier investors including Battery Ventures, Inspired Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Cavallo Ventures (Wilbur-Ellis), Fika Ventures, and Twine Ventures.

We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our small but mighty engineering team. This is a core application development role: you will work across the entire stack—data modeling and migrations, back-end services, and polished front-end interfaces—to build the software platform that powers our customers’ regulatory workflows.

You will collaborate directly with stakeholders and regulatory domain experts to define requirements, then turn around and ship working software—often. You will own features end-to-end, from schema design through deployment, and take responsibility for the quality and reliability of what you build. You will run your own deployments, monitor production, and iterate quickly based on what you learn.

As a senior member of a small team, you will also mentor other engineers, advocate for strong engineering practices, and help raise the bar across the codebase. We are looking for someone with a high level of agency—someone who takes initiative, thinks critically about trade-offs, and drives work forward without waiting to be told what to do.

We care about building the right technology for our customers and building the technology right. If you love writing well-tested code, embrace AI as a tool in your development workflow, and are genuinely excited to learn a new domain and build tools that matter for agriculture, we want to hear from you.

• Build features across the full stack—from database schema design and migrations, to API development, to polished, performant front-end experiences that users love.
• Implement AI capabilities into the core application. Going beyond simple chatbots, we’re building the platform for AI agents to get regulatory work done in collaboration with reg. teams. You’ll be instrumental in building agentic UX flows into the Compass applications.
• Collaborate directly with product, regulatory, and customer-facing teams to understand requirements, shape solutions, and deliver software that solves real problems.
• Design and evolve data models, service boundaries, and system architecture, making deliberate choices that support the platform’s growth over time.
• Ship often. Take features from concept to production on a regular cadence, owning the full lifecycle including deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
• Run deployments and manage production infrastructure, ensuring the platform is reliable and performant for our customers.
• Write clear, well-tested code. Champion testing practices—particularly integration tests—that keep the codebase healthy and give the team confidence to move fast.
• Mentor and support other engineers on the team, through code review, pairing, and helping establish patterns and practices that scale.
• Evaluate and introduce new patterns, libraries, or infrastructure improvements that raise the bar for the engineering team.
• Embed with our regulatory domain experts to develop a working knowledge of the workflows, document types, and compliance requirements that define our customers’ day-to-day work.
• Embrace AI-assisted development tools in your own workflow, and help the team build a culture of thoughtful AI adoption across the software development lifecycle.

• 6–10+ years of professional experience as a full-stack engineer, with demonstrated ownership of system design and architectural decisions at production scale.
• Strong experience with our stack or…
