Data at Brex

Our Scientists and Engineers work together to make data—and insights derived from data—a core asset across Brex. But it’s more than just crunching numbers.

As a DEP team member you will help build Brex’s Data Infrastructure and also work across the entire data stack to help product teams build data‑backed products.

Responsibilities

• Build, improve, and maintain Brex’s data platform and infrastructure: data warehouse & analytics, data streaming, replication and materialization, data orchestration, data observability, access & governance.
• Partner with Brex’s product teams, data science and analytics teams to help them launch superior products backed by data insights.
• Level up the data competency at Brex through partnership and education.
• Invest in building resilient data architectures, participate in on‑call rotations, and continuously improve our operational efficiency.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, especially working across team boundaries and building XFN relationships
• Must be willing to work in office 3 days a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
