Brex Inc.
Senior Software Engineer, Application Infrastructure
Brex Inc., San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Engineering at Brex
The Engineering team includes Data, IT, Security, and Software, and is responsible for building innovative products and infrastructure for both internal and external users. We have multiple autonomous and collaborative teams who are eager to learn, teach, and constantly improve how things work. Together, we strive to build robust and scalable systems that enable Brex to grow rapidly and help our customers reach their full potential.
What you’ll do
The Application Infrastructure team sits in the Infrastructure group alongside Release Infrastructure and Cloud Infrastructure. We simplify writing code for every product developer at Brex.
As an engineer on the Application Infrastructure team, you will build and own a suite of platforms and tools that Product Engineers use to deliver quality software solutions quickly. You will have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of technologies enabling federated GraphQL APIs, remote development environments, pre-merge testing, Brex-wide dependency management, fast Kotlin builds, developer CLIs, and more.
You will be a domain expert and change agent taking our Federated GraphQL platform to the next level. You’ll see the big picture of how Brex developers use GraphQL to build products, and utilize GraphQL’s open source and vendor ecosystem to enable Brex devs to ship better products faster.
You will need to be comfortable regularly working on complex systems across multiple programming languages and levels of abstraction. You will have the opportunity to learn and push the frontier of providing the best financial software experience to help companies grow. You will be encouraged to be metric and data-driven and to think creatively to help Brex scale into new markets and verticals.
Responsibilities
Design and build robust platforms and tools to accelerate Brex product development
Own and maintain critical API infrastructure serving hundreds of requests per second

Requirements
5+ years of professional experience in a software engineering role
GraphQL experience, especially familiarity with Federated GraphQL
Kotlin background (Java and Scala are also acceptable)
Kubernetes familiarity
Platform or Full-Stack development background
Strong communication, interpersonal, and project planning skills
Must be willing to work in office 2 days per week on Wednesday and Thursday
Bonus points
Experience working with Bazel; bonus points if you’ve written rules or maintained Bazel as a platform
Extensive experience with other multi-language build systems
Golang experience, especially building CLIs
Experience extending IDEs
Compensation
The expected salary range for this role is $192,000 - $240,000. 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.
