About the role
- By combining global corporate cards and banking with intuitive spend management, bill pay, and travel software, Brex enables founders and finance teams to accelerate operations, gain real-time visibility, and control spend effortlessly.
Responsibilities
- You won't own a single team or service.
- Your mandate is to find the most important problems across T&E - the ones that fall between teams, the ones nobody is holding - and drive them to a solution.
- Identify the highest-impact technical problems across Travel & Expense - including the cross-team gaps that individual teams can't see or own - and drive them to resolution.
- Set and raise the technical bar across the group through design reviews, architecture decisions, and hands-on work where it matters most.
- Partner as a peer with existing Staff Engineers and with EMs across expenses, travel, policy, and spend controls to align on direction and unblock execution.
- Act as a force multiplier: mentor senior engineers, improve how teams design and ship, and grow the next generation of technical leaders.
- Bring an AI-forward mindset to how the org builds, reviews, and operates.
- You'll partner closely with our existing Staff Engineers as peers, and you'll have a seat at the T&E leadership table to help shape where the org invests.
- Working at Brex allows you to push your limits, challenge the status quo, and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry.
- We're committed to building a diverse team and inclusive culture and believe your potential should only be limited by how big you can dream.
Requirements
- 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of technical leadership across multiple teams or a group.
- Deep experience designing and operating large-scale backend systems in production.
- a track record of raising the bar for engineers around you and working effectively with both ICs and managers.

- Tens of thousands of the world's best companies run on Brex, including DoorDash, Coinbase, Robinhood, Zoom, Plaid, Reddit, and SeatGeek.
- Brex is the AI-powered spend platform.
- We help companies spend with confidence with integrated corporate cards, banking, and global payments, plus intuitive software for travel and expenses.
- Tens of thousands of companies from startups to enterprises - including DoorDash, Flexport, and Compass - use Brex to proactively control spend, reduce costs, and increase efficiency on a global scale.
- Engineering at Brex
- Our teams span Software, Data, Security, and IT, and operate with high autonomy and deep collaboration.
- It's an environment where engineering is a craft, and builders become leaders.
Compensation
- The expected salary range for this role is $240,000 to $285,000.
- However, the starting base pay will depend on a number of factors including the candidate's location, skills, experience, market demands, and internal pay parity.
- Depending on the position offered, equity and other forms of compensation may be provided as part of a total compensation package.
- As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work!
