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 Application Infrastructure team sits in the Infrastructure group alongside Release Infrastructure and Cloud Infrastructure. We simplify writing code for every product developer at Brex.
As an engineer on the Application Infrastructure team, you will build and own a suite of platforms and tools that Product Engineers use to deliver quality software solutions quickly. You will have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of technologies enabling federated GraphQL APIs, remote development environments, pre-merge testing, Brex-wide dependency management, fast Kotlin builds, developer CLIs, and more.
You will be a domain expert and change agent, taking our Federated GraphQL platform to the next level. You’ll see the big picture of how Brex developers use GraphQL to build products, and utilize GraphQL’s open source and vendor ecosystem to enable Brex devs to ship better products faster.
You will need to be comfortable regularly working on complex systems across multiple programming languages and levels of abstraction. 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 into new markets and verticals.
Where you’ll work
This role will be based in our San Francisco 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 two coordinated days in the office per week, Wednesday and Thursday. As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work!
Responsibilities
- Analyze internal developer experience feedback to advocate for and iterate on developer platforms affecting the day-to-day work of ~300 software engineers
- Make the adoption of AI developer tools easier and integrate them into developer workflows to seamlessly play with our codebase
- Own, maintain, and scale critical API infrastructure serving all of Brex’s products
- Identify and implement reliability and performance improvements
- Uphold our high engineering standards and bring consistency to the codebases, infrastructure, and processes you will encounter
- 8+ years of professional experience in a software engineering role
- GraphQL experience, especially familiarity with Federated GraphQL
- Kotlin background (Java, Scala and Groovy are also acceptable)
- Kubernetes familiarity
- Platform or Full-Stack development background
- Strong communication, interpersonal, and project planning skills
- Experience working with Bazel; bonus points if you’ve written rules or maintained Bazel as a platform
- Extensive experience with other multi-language build systems
- Golang experience, especially building CLIs
- Experience extending IDEs
The expected salary range for this role is $192,000 - $240,000. 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.
