Brex is an intelligent finance platform enabling companies to spend smarter and move faster across 200+ markets. The platform combines global corporate cards and banking with spend management, bill pay, and travel software, serving tens of thousands of companies including DoorDash, Coinbase, Robinhood, Zoom, and Plaid.
Acquisition Engineering owns the customer journey from first touch through first value—helping prospective customers discover Brex, apply, get approved, onboard quickly, and adopt more of the platform. The group brings together GTM Engineering, Salesforce, Onboarding, and Adoption teams with a shared mission to acquire customers faster and deliver value sooner.
You will operate as a Staff Software Engineer across Acquisition Engineering without direct reports. Your mandate is to identify the highest-impact technical opportunities across the funnel, especially cross-team gaps that individual teams cannot solve alone, and drive them to durable outcomes. This is a leadership role focused on setting technical direction, raising the bar for system design and execution, and multiplying the effectiveness of engineers and engineering managers across the group.
Key responsibilities include:
- Identify and lead consequential technical initiatives across Acquisition Engineering, from first touch through onboarding, activation, and adoption
- Set technical direction for cross-team systems including architecture, platform boundaries, reliability, and data quality
- Partner with GTM Engineering, Salesforce, Onboarding, and Adoption to simplify handoffs and improve end-to-end customer and operator experiences
- Raise the technical bar through design reviews, hands-on implementation, operational excellence, and pragmatic engineering standards
- Champion repeatable, secure, and high-velocity delivery across the group, including strong practices for code review, deployment safety, and operational excellence
- Act as a force multiplier by mentoring senior engineers, improving how teams plan and execute, and developing the next generation of technical leaders
- Collaborate with product, design, data, operations, and go-to-market partners to translate ambiguous business opportunities into scalable technical solutions
- Bring an AI-forward mindset to how the group builds customer experiences, internal tooling, and engineering workflows
The role is based in New York with a hybrid environment requiring three days per week in the office (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday) and offering up to four weeks per year of fully remote work.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership across multiple teams or a large product area
- Demonstrated ability to identify and drive ambiguous, cross-cutting problems to resolution without a narrowly defined charter
- Deep experience designing, building, and operating large-scale backend or full-stack systems in production
- Strong product and business judgment, with the ability to connect technical investments to customer experience, growth, and operational outcomes
- Proven ability to influence across engineering, product, and business stakeholders without direct authority
- Strong collaboration, written, and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical trade-offs to senior business and engineering stakeholders
