Role summary
Brex is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for their Acquisition Engineering team in Vancouver. This role focuses on identifying and leading high-impact technical initiatives across the customer acquisition funnel, from initial discovery to platform adoption. The engineer will set technical direction for cross-team systems, improve customer and operator experiences, and raise the technical bar through design, implementation, and operational excellence. This leadership role, without direct reports, involves mentoring senior engineers, influencing stakeholders across product and business, and applying an AI-forward mindset to build scalable solutions. The position requires 8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership and experience designing/operating large-scale backend or full-stack systems.

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.
About the team
Acquisition Engineering owns the customer journey from first touch to first value: helping prospective customers discover Brex, apply, get approved, onboard quickly, and adopt more of the platform over time. The group brings together GTM Engineering, Salesforce, Onboarding, and Adoption, with a shared mission to acquire customers faster and deliver value sooner.
We operate at the intersection of customer experience, revenue, and operational scale. Our work improves funnel conversion, reduces time to first transaction, equips go-to-market teams with high-leverage systems, and creates product experiences that drive durable adoption and expansion.
What you’ll do
We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to operate across Acquisition Engineering. You won’t be limited to a single team or service; your mandate is to identify the highest-impact technical opportunities across the funnel—especially the cross-team gaps that no individual team can solve alone—and drive them to durable outcomes.
This is a leadership role without direct reports. You’ll set technical direction, raise the bar for system design and execution, and multiply the effectiveness of engineers and engineering managers across the group. You’ll partner closely with Staff Engineers, product leaders, and GTM stakeholders to shape where we invest and how we deliver customer and business impact.
Where you’ll work
This role will be based in Vancouver. 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 require three days per week in the office—Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday—and offer up to four weeks per year of fully remote work.
