Why join us

Brex is reimagining financial systems so every growing company can realize their full potential. As the financial OS, we’re building software and services in one place — disrupting long-entrenched institutions with products and experiences that better serve the ambitions of our customers.

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 at Brex

The Engineering team includes Data, IT, Security, and Software, and is responsible for building innovative products and infrastructure for Brex and our customers. We believe that engineers should accelerate the business through technology, and collaborate across multiple teams to accomplish that. 

Teams are autonomous, value inclusivity, eager to learn, teach and constantly improve how things work. The software we build today is the foundation for dozens of Brex systems in the future, so engineers have a strong sense of ownership and accountability and take pride in their craft. 

What you’ll do

As a Corporate Security Engineer, you will focus on improving Brex’s stance and security around corporate devices, SaaS services, and internal enterprise systems. You’ll advise our partner teams on decisions, create guidance and policy, ensure proper hardening and configuration of endpoints and services, and create scripting/tooling to not only ensure appropriate security at Brex but also to enable our staff to work securely with as little friction as possible.

Brex is a financial technology and a remote first company, creating new, interesting, and unique issues to be worked on. We operate internationally with employees in several countries and we place the security of our customers and employees at the forefront of our actions. As part of reimagining financial systems, we also are reimagining security across our company and products to offer modern security measures which evolve past the current state of the industry.

We’re looking for individuals with a solid background and interest in securing the enterprise of Brex. Most importantly, you should be enthusiastic about working with a variety of backgrounds, roles, and needs. We’re looking for someone to help scale the company with incredible people across the board. Building world-class financial services requires world-class security.
