    About the Role

    As an engineer on the Platform Engineering team, you will use your skills to create a crucial part of the company's technical infrastructure. Our team develops and refines solutions that help engineers monitor the software they build. We provide tools to engineering leaders that help them understand the performance and costs of the services for which they are responsible. We integrate tools that give product owners, designers, and support teams insight into how customers use Compass software. We supervise and consult on the incident response process at the company.

    You are a developer who is passionate about setting a high bar for quality across the company. You can pride yourself on your ability to collaborate effectively with a wide range of roles and experience levels. A sense of ownership for the product you work on is important to you. You love to learn and equally love to share your knowledge with others. You are a great communicator, and you take care to understand before making yourself understood. You enjoy trying new frameworks and libraries.

    At Compass You Will:

    • Build, develop, and scale the monitoring solutions used by engineering teams at the company.
    • Serve as a subject matter expert on monitoring and incident response.
    • Collaborate with engineers and others from across the company.
    • Inspire, recruit, and mentor your engineering colleagues.
    • Operate in a scalable engineering culture that leverages modern principles of decoupled systems and automated CI/CD/testing/monitoring to drive efficiencies.
    • Build a company that is admired worldwide for its engineering culture.

    What We Look For:

    • BS in CS or EE or equivalent.
    • Proven track record working in top talent and high-performance environments.
    • Experience working on a large scale and distributed computing systems in rapid growth environments
    • Solid programming skills; experience in Go, Java, or Python a plus.
    • Experience with event-driven architectures, advanced algorithms/data intelligence, public cloud platforms, and streaming data pipelines.
    • Hands-on experience with databases and SQL (e.g., Postgres, MongoDB).
    • Experience with monitoring tools like Datadog, Sentry, and FullStory a plus.
    • Experience with containerization, microservice architecture, continuous integration, and delivery.
    • 5+ years of experience is preferred, but we are hiring at all levels.

    At Compass, our mission is to help everyone find their place in the world. This means we continually celebrate the diverse community different individuals cultivate. As an equal opportunity employer, we stay true to our mission by ensuring that our place can be anyone’s place.
