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.

What it asks for · 6

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of technical leadership across multiple teams or a large product area.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify and drive ambiguous, cross-cutting problems to resolution without a narrowly defined charter.
  • Deep experience designing, building, and operating large-scale backend or full-stack systems in production.
  • Strong product and business judgment, with the ability to connect technical investments to customer experience, growth, and operational outcomes.
  • Proven ability to influence across engineering, product, and business stakeholders without direct authority.
  • Strong collaboration, written, and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex technical trade-offs to senior business and engineering stakeholders.

What the job covers

  • 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 standards.
  • Champion repeatable, secure, and high-velocity delivery across the group, including strong practices for code review, deployment safety, and operational excellence.
  • Act as a force multiplier by mentoring senior engineers, improving how teams plan and execute, and developing the next generation of technical leaders.
  • Collaborate with product, design, data, operations, and go-to-market partners to translate ambiguous business opportunities into scalable technical solutions.
  • Bring an AI-forward mindset to how the group builds customer experiences, internal tooling, and engineering workflows.

How this page was made

An automated read of a public job posting, fetched September 29, 2026 and last changed by Brex on September 28, 2026. Every list above is pulled from the posting’s own sentences — nothing rewritten, nothing added, no judgment about the role or the company. Counts and seniority are read off the text by rule, so they can be wrong where the posting is unusual. The original is the only thing that binds. Openings close without warning; check the source before spending an evening on it.
