Job description

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 San Francisco 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 prioritised 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 prioritise 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.
