Engineering at Brex

Engineering at Brex is about building systems that scale with speed and intention. Our teams span Software, Data, Security, and IT, and operate with high autonomy and deep collaboration. We tackle hard technical problems, own our outcomes, and push for excellence at every level — from architecture to deployment. It's an environment where engineering is a craft, and builders become leaders.

As a Software Engineer II on the Cloud Infrastructure team, you will join a highly competent, senior group of engineers responsible for the foundational AWS ecosystem that powers Brex. Your primary focus will be working on our high-priority Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) initiative to completion, a critical company-level priority that ensures multi-region infrastructure resilience. You will work across Kubernetes, networking, and databases to build systems that scale with speed and intention, while collaborating with teams across the entire organization to drive the adoption of modern cloud infrastructure changes.

Where you'll work

This role will be based in our São Paulo office. We are a hybrid environment that combines the energy and connections of being in the office with the benefits and flexibility of working from home. We currently require a minimum of three coordinated days in the office per week: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. As a perk, we also have up to four weeks per year of fully remote work.

• Build and Scale: Maintain and evolve Brex’s core cloud infrastructure, including Kubernetes (EKS), RDS/Postgres, and networking foundations.
• Execute BCDR Strategy: Contribute to the multi-year BCDR initiative by implementing multi-region infrastructure readiness and automated failover capabilities.
• Technical Ownership: Drive technical excellence across the stack, utilizing tools like Terraform, Docker, Flux, and Go to automate and improve infrastructure lifecycle.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with product and engineering teams to ensure seamless adoption of new infrastructure capabilities and support migrations.
