Job description

Why join us

Brex is the AI-powered spend platform. We help companies spend with confidence with integrated corporate cards, banking, and global payments, plus intuitive software for travel and expenses. Tens of thousands of companies from startups to enterprises — including DoorDash, Flexport, and Compass — use Brex to proactively control spend, reduce costs, and increase efficiency on a global scale.

Working at Brex allows you to push your limits, challenge the status quo, and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry. We’re committed to building a diverse team and inclusive culture and believe your potential should only be limited by how big you can dream. We make this a reality by empowering you with the tools, resources, and support you need to grow your career.

Engineering

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

You will lead the engineering group responsible for driving Brex’s growth engine. This role involves strategic planning, team management, technical guidance, and cross-functional collaboration. The ideal candidate is a seasoned engineering leader with a strong background in driving growth.

Where you’ll work

This role will be based in our Vancouver 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. Starting February 2, 2026, we will require three days per week in office - Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work!

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor high-performing teams of both product engineers and Salesforce admins and developers, fostering their career development through coaching, feedback, and hands-on guidance.
• Drive the architectural vision, technical roadmap, and project execution for our Salesforce platform, GTM applications, and Marketing website (Brex.com), ensuring scalability, performance, and security.
• Champion and integrate AI-native solutions within our Sales, Marketing, Operations, and CX systems and workflows of your teams to drive efficiency and unlock new capabilities.
• Operate at all levels, guiding your group through complex technical challenges while staying close to the code and contributing to design.
• Partner with stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Operations, and CX, acting as a strategic advisor to translate business needs into a prioritized engineering backlog while being jointly accountable to business metrics such as CAC, payback, and rep capacity.
• Align ad-hoc requests to broader business strategy, ensuring the teams are focused on the most impactful work and confidently declining projects that are not strategically aligned.
• Own the operational excellence of your group, managing sprint capacity, removing blockers, and ensuring high-velocity, high-quality delivery.
• Establish and enforce engineering best practices for Sales and Marketing applications and the Salesforce ecosystem, including advanced DevOps (CI/CD, source control, release management), code quality, and system governance.
• Design and oversee the implementation of complex integrations and automation across our GTM systems and third-party applications, including owning build vs buy decisions.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of software engineering experience with a strong technical background, with 3+ years of experience managing or leading multiple technical teams in a high-growth environment.
• 3+ years of progressive experience in Salesforce development and architecture.
• Deep expertise in the Salesforce platform, including Apex, Lightning Web Components, SOQL, and platform APIs.
• Experience architecting and building robust integrations between Salesforce and a broader ecosystem of GTM tools and third-party applications.
• Excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills with the ability to manage and communicate effectively with XFN partners (e.g. Sales, Marketing, CX, and Operations) at all levels, from individual contributors to senior leadership.
• A strategic mindset with the ability to balance long-term platform health with immediate business needs, and a proven ability to prioritize and push back when work is not aligned with company goals.
• A passion for leveraging AI to improve both team productivity and the products you build.

Bonus points

• Salesforce certifications (e.g., Platform Developer II, Application/System Architect).
• Experience managing remote or distributed engineering teams.
• Former founders welcome.
• Experience building Slack applications and integrations.
• Experience with B2B growth.
• You have started your own technology venture or were a foundational engineering member of an early-stage start up. We value entrepreneurial spirit & scrappiness!
• You are a champion for the customer and constantly put yourself in the shoes of your users, and strive to create an intuitive and delightful experience.

Compensation

The expected salary range for this role is $300,000 - $375,000 CAD. 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.
