Brex is an intelligent finance platform enabling companies to spend smarter across 200+ markets. The company combines corporate cards, banking, spend management, bill pay, and travel software to help founders and finance teams accelerate operations and control spend. Tens of thousands of leading companies including DoorDash, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Zoom run on Brex.
The Bill Pay team is a high-functioning, product-led team building the next generation of Accounts Payable (AP) software. This Engineering Manager role sits at the intersection of Brex's Expense Management and Banking products—described as one of the most important roles in Brex engineering. The posting emphasizes this is a "founder-shaped problem" where the domain is established but the roadmap is unwritten, making it ideal for ex-founders.
You will build and lead a full-stack team of 7–10 engineers owning a defined portion of Brex's next-generation AP software. Key responsibilities include: hiring and onboarding engineers; defining and sharpening the team's mandate within the Payments group; setting technical and product direction with thoughtful tradeoffs; shipping high-quality, reliable, competitive AP products while balancing feature velocity with technical durability; fostering a people-centered culture built on enablement and trust; partnering cross-functionally with Design and Product; providing strong coaching and mentorship; bringing an AI-forward mindset to team operations; and translating customer feedback into engineering priorities.
The role is based in Brex's New York office with a hybrid model requiring a minimum of three coordinated days in-office per week (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday). Up to four weeks per year of fully remote work is available as a perk.
Requirements:
- Track record of engineering leadership building and scaling customer-facing products, including hiring and growing teams
- Strong product sense and ability to make and defend product and UX tradeoffs, not just technical ones
- Staff-engineer-level technical bar; able to operate at all levels and earn technical respect of a strong engineering team
- Strong customer empathy and advocacy
- Excellent written and verbal communication
- Demonstrated coaching and mentorship of engineers across levels
- Minimum 2+ years in an engineering management role
Bonus points: Accounts Payable / Bill Pay domain experience; experience in Payments domain (accounting, bill pay, credit card processing, banking integrations, ERPs, etc).
