Engineering at Brex

• Engineering at Brex is about building systems that scale with speed and intention.
• Our teams span Software, Data, Security, and IT, and operate with high autonomy and deep collaboration.
• We tackle hard technical problems, own our outcomes, and push for excellence at every level — from architecture to deployment.
• It's an environment where engineering is a craft, and builders become leaders.

What you'll do

• The Bill Pay team is a high-functioning, product led team supported by product and design, building and leading the next generation of Accounts Payable (AP) software.
• We're looking for an engineering leader to have strong opinions on technical design and the willingness and eagerness to jump on customer calls.
• This is one of the most important roles in Brex engineering as it perfectly sits between our Expense Management and Banking products.
• This is a founder-shaped problem: the domain is established, but the roadmap and how we get there is unwritten. If you're an ex-founder, this is your kind of opportunity.

Where you'll work

• This role will be based in our New York office.
• We are a hybrid environment that combines the energy and connections of being in the office with the benefits and flexibility of working from home.
• We currently require a minimum of three coordinated days in the office per week, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
• As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work!

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a full-stack team (7-10 engineers) owning a defined part of Brex's next-generation Accounts Payable software, growing it through hiring and onboarding new engineers.
• Help define and continually sharpen the team's mandate within the broader Payments group — what it owns, where to invest and how to continuously win customers.
• Set the team's technical and product direction, making thoughtful tradeoffs about what to build, in what order, and why.
• Ship a high-quality, reliable, competitive Accounts Payable product, balancing customer-facing feature velocity with a durable technical foundation.
• Foster a people-centered culture, one built on enablement, trust, and context-sharing.
• Partner cross-functionally across Design and Product to align on scope and delivery.
• Provide strong coaching, mentorship, and career development for engineers at all levels.
• Bring an AI-forward mindset to how the team builds and operates. We expect you to be a continuous bar-raiser on AI for the team.
• Translate customer feedback into engineering priorities. Drive product discovery and champion the user's voice in technical trade-off discussions to ensure the team is building the right features for the right reasons.

Requirements

• Track record of engineering leadership building and scaling customer-facing products, including hiring and growing teams.
• Strong product sense the ability to make and defend product and UX tradeoffs, not just technical ones.
• A staff-engineer-level technical bar; able to operate at all levels and earn the 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 a Payments domain (accounting, bill pay, credit card processing, banking integrations, ERPs, etc).

Compensation

• The expected salary range for this role is $240,000 - $285,000.
• However, the starting base pay will depend on a number of factors including the candidate's location, skills, experience, market demands, and internal pay parity.
• Depending on the position offered, equity and other forms of compensation may be provided as part of a total compensation package.
• Brex LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Capital One, N.A.
