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.
The Acquisition Engineering group owns the customer journey from first touch through first value—discovery, application, approval, onboarding, and platform adoption. The team brings together GTM Engineering, Salesforce, Onboarding, and Adoption functions with a shared mission to acquire customers faster and deliver value sooner. Work spans customer experience, revenue impact, and operational scale, improving funnel conversion, reducing time to first transaction, equipping go-to-market teams with high-leverage systems, and driving durable adoption.
As Staff Software Engineer, you will operate across Acquisition Engineering without limitation to a single team or service. 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 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.
Key responsibilities include identifying and leading consequential technical initiatives from first touch through adoption; setting technical direction for cross-team systems including architecture, platform boundaries, reliability, and data quality; partnering with GTM Engineering, Salesforce, Onboarding, and Adoption to improve end-to-end experiences; raising the technical bar through design reviews, hands-on implementation, and operational excellence; championing repeatable, secure, high-velocity delivery; mentoring senior engineers and developing technical leaders; collaborating with product, design, data, operations, and go-to-market partners to translate business opportunities into scalable solutions; and bringing an AI-forward mindset to customer experiences, internal tooling, and engineering workflows.
The role is based in San Francisco 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 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 ability to communicate complex technical trade-offs to senior business and engineering stakeholders
