## Description

Join us at Brex, the intelligent finance platform that enables companies to spend smarter and move faster. As an Engineering Manager for the Brex Assistant, you will lead a team building a consumer-facing conversational AI product that helps customers approve spend, understand policy, resolve issues, and make financial decisions without friction.

This is a deeply product-driven role. Success is measured by real customer impact , better expense documentation, stronger policy compliance, and less time spent navigating Brex , not by novelty or research output.

Responsibilities:

- Lead and grow a team of engineers building the end-to-end conversational experience for the Brex Assistant, including outbound system-initiated interactions and inbound chat.

- Operate at all levels, guiding your team through complex technical challenges while being hands on with code and contributing to design.

- Own delivery and outcomes for the Assistant roadmap, making and executing hard sequencing decisions for agent capabilities (e.g., memory, preferences, merchant data).

- Set and uphold a high bar for reliability, correctness, and UX in non-deterministic, agentic systems operating in real-world financial workflows.

- Partner closely with Product, Design, and adjacent engineering teams (Spend, Expense, Platform) to shape direction and integrate deeply with core Brex workflows.

- Establish strong team norms and execution standards, balancing velocity with validation, quality control, and operational excellence.

Requirements:

- Proven experience leading engineering teams building user-facing products in complex, real-world domains.

- Strong product judgment, with a track record of making hard tradeoffs and delivering outcomes under real constraints.

- Experience building and operating systems that must remain reliable despite messy inputs, ambiguity, or non-deterministic behavior.

- Ability to translate high-level product goals into clear technical direction and execution plans, while mentoring engineers through strong technical and product guidance.

Bonus points:

- Development experience with Typescript while leading consumer-facing AI products, especially in regulated or high-stakes domains (finance, healthcare, travel).

- Direct experience with conversational UX, agents, or other non-deterministic systems in production.

- Prior experience as a tech lead for agentic systems, particularly in spend or financial workflows.

- Personal empathy for spend-heavy workflows (frequent travel, recruiting, managing expenses on behalf of a company).

Compensation: The expected salary range for this role is $240,000 - $300,000. 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.
