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

We're building a new team within Brex's Travel group to own a defined part of our next-generation travel experience, and we're looking for the Engineering Manager to build and lead it. This is a rare from-scratch opportunity: a large strategic investment, a clean slate on team shape and roadmap, and high autonomy to define how the team works.

Part of your job is deciding what the job is. The broader Travel group covers a lot of ground, and one of your first and most important tasks is to help shape this team's mandate within that bigger picture - what it owns, where its boundaries sit, and where it should focus to have the most impact. You'll start with a small existing group and grow it through hiring into the team that carries this part of travel forward.

You'll set the technical and product direction for the team, ship a competitive customer-facing product, and build the culture from day one. Because the domain is new and the roadmap is yours to shape, product judgment matters as much as technical judgment here - you'll be making real calls about what to build and why, not just executing a handed-down plan.

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 new full-stack team owning a defined part of Brex's next-generation travel experience, growing it through hiring and onboarding new engineers.
• Help define and continually sharpen the team's mandate within the broader Travel group - what it owns, where its boundaries sit, and where it should focus.
• 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 travel product, balancing customer-facing feature velocity with a durable technical foundation.
• Foster a people-centered culture on a brand-new team - one built on enablement, trust, and context-sharing.
• Partner cross-functionally across Travel, Expenses, 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.

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.

Bonus points 

• Travel domain experience (e.g., online booking / travel management platforms such as Navan or similar).
• Experience standing up a new team or product area from scratch.

Compensation

The expected salary range for this role is $240,000 CAD - $300,000 CAD. 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.
