Engineering at Brex

We have multiple autonomous and collaborative teams who are eager to learn, teach, and constantly improve how things work. Together, we strive to build robust and scalable systems that enable Brex to grow rapidly and help our customers reach their full potential.
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.

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.
