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.

It’s an environment where engineering is a craft, and builders become leaders.

This role will be based in our São Paulo 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 are looking for folks with an interest in building products and tools, who are comfortable dealing with a lot of moving pieces. You will be building customer-facing products that will drive direct business impact and shape our long-term technical vision with a high-quality bar. You will have the opportunity to learn and push the frontier of providing the best financial software experience to help companies grow. You will be encouraged to be metric and data-driven and to think creatively to help Brex scale and prepare for the new markets we are about to enter.
