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.

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.

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.

The expected salary range for this role is $240,000 to $285,000.

As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work!

We're looking for a Staff Engineer who operates across all of them.
