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.

What You’Ll Do

Travel Expense is one of the highest-leverage domains at Brex, and it spans several engineering teams — expenses, travel, policy, and spend controls — that have to work as one system for customers. We're looking for a Staff Engineer who operates across all of them. You won't own a single team or service.

Your mandate is to find the most important problems across T E — the ones that fall between teams, the ones nobody is holding — and drive them to a solution. This is a leadership role without direct reports. You'll set technical direction across the group, raise the bar in design and review, and be a force multiplier for the engineers and EMs you work alongside.

You'll partner closely with our existing Staff Engineers as peers, and you'll have a seat at the T E leadership table to help shape where the org invests. If you want the influence of a senior technical leader without moving into management, this is that role. Where you’ll work This role will be based in our Vancouver office.

Benefits

and flexibility of working from home. We will require 3 days per week in the office - Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work!

Responsibilities

: Identify the highest-impact technical problems across Travel Expense — including the cross-team gaps that individual teams can't see or own — and drive them to resolution. Set and raise the technical bar across the group through design reviews, architecture decisions, and hands-on work where it matters most.
