Senior Software 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. At Compass International Holdings (CIH), we connect buyers and sellers with the right agents at the right time. The Lead Nurturing & Engagement team is responsible for keeping leads warm and actionable before they are assigned to an agent — ensuring no qualified lead goes cold due to slow response, lack of follow-up, or poor timing. We own the full pre-CRM nurturing funnel: from the moment a lead enters the system to the moment it is ready to be handed off to an agent. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will design and build the systems that power automated re-engagement flows, unclaimed lead management, human-assisted concierge experiences via AWS Connect, and lead readiness scoring. Your work directly impacts how many leads convert to closed transactions — making this one of the highest-leverage engineering roles on the Leads platform. At Compass, You Will: * Design and build the pre-CRM nurturing pipeline — automated flows that move leads from cold → warm → hot before agent assignment * Own and operate the AWS Connect integration — the human-assisted concierge experience that handles complex or high-value leads requiring live engagement * Build and maintain unclaimed lead management — automated escalation, retry, and re-engagement for leads that have not yet been matched to an agent * Develop lead readiness scoring — the signals and models that determine when a lead is "hot enough" for agent assignment * Architect automated nurture sequences across SMS, email, and voice channels, coordinating with our communications platform * Collaborate with data and ML teams to incorporate behavioral signals and conversion predictions into nurturing decisions * Operate in a scalable engineering culture that leverages modern principles of decoupled systems and automated CI/CD/testing/monitoring What We Look For: * BS in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience * 7+ years of experience developing comprehensive, well-tested, and high-performance software applications with languages such as Go, Java
