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.

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 San Francisco . 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. Responsibilities: • Identify and lead the most consequential technical initiatives across Acquisition Engineering, from first touch through onboarding, activation, and ongoing adoption. • Set technical direction for cross-team systems, including architecture, platform boundaries, reliability, and data quality. • Partner with GTM Engineering, Salesforce, Onboarding, and Adoption to simplify handoffs and improve end-to-end customer and operator experiences. • Raise the technical bar through design reviews, hands-on implementation, operational excellence, and pragmatic engineering
