- We’re building a new team within Brex’s Travel group to own a defined part of our next-generation travel experience, and we’re looking for the Engineering Manager to build and lead it

- This is a rare from-scratch prospect: a large strategic investment, a clean slate on team shape and roadmap, and high autonomy to define how the team works

- Part of your job is deciding what the job is. The broader Travel group covers a lot of ground, and one of your first and most important tasks is to help shape this team’s mandate within that bigger picture — what it owns, where its boundaries sit, and where it should focus to have the most impact. You’ll start with a small existing group and grow it through hiring into the team that carries this part of travel forward

- You’ll set the technical and product direction for the team, ship a competitive customer-facing product, and build the culture from day one. Because the domain is new and the roadmap is yours to shape, product judgment matters as much as technical judgment here — you’ll be making real calls about what to build and why, not just executing a handed-down plan

- Build and lead a new full-stack team owning a defined part of Brex’s next-generation travel experience, growing it through hiring and onboarding new engineers

- Help define and continually sharpen the team’s mandate within the broader Travel group — what it owns, where its boundaries sit, and where it should focus

- Set the team’s technical and product direction, making thoughtful tradeoffs about what to build,



in what order, and why

- Ship a high-quality, reliable, competitive travel product, balancing customer-facing feature velocity with a durable technical foundation

- Foster a people-centered culture on a brand-new team — one built on enablement, trust, and context-sharing

- Partner cross-functionally across Travel, Expenses, and Product to align on scope and delivery

- Provide strong coaching, mentorship, and career development for engineers at all levels

- Bring an AI-forward mindset to how the team builds and operates
