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, and Zoom.
Acquisition Engineering owns the customer journey from first touch through first value: discovery, application, approval, onboarding, and platform adoption. The group integrates GTM Engineering, Salesforce, Onboarding, and Adoption teams with a shared mission to acquire customers faster and deliver value sooner. The team operates at the intersection of customer experience, revenue, and operational scale, improving funnel conversion, reducing time to first transaction, equipping go-to-market teams with high-leverage systems, and creating product experiences that drive adoption and expansion.
You will operate across Acquisition Engineering as a Staff Software Engineer, identifying the highest-impact technical opportunities across the funnel—especially cross-team gaps that individual teams cannot solve alone—and driving them to durable outcomes. This is a leadership role without direct reports. You will set technical direction, raise the bar for system design and execution, and multiply the effectiveness of engineers and engineering managers across the group. You will partner closely with Staff Engineers, product leaders, and GTM stakeholders to shape investment priorities and delivery approaches.
Key responsibilities include identifying and leading consequential technical initiatives across the acquisition funnel; setting technical direction for cross-team systems including architecture, platform boundaries, reliability, and data quality; partnering with GTM Engineering, Salesforce, Onboarding, and Adoption to simplify handoffs and improve end-to-end experiences; raising the technical bar through design reviews, hands-on implementation, and pragmatic engineering standards; championing repeatable, secure, and high-velocity delivery; acting as a force multiplier by mentoring senior engineers and developing technical leaders; collaborating with product, design, data, operations, and go-to-market partners to translate business opportunities into scalable technical solutions; and bringing an AI-forward mindset to customer experiences, internal tooling, and engineering workflows.
The role is based in Seattle with a hybrid environment requiring three days per week in 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
