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.

What you’ll do

As a Security Operations Engineer at Brex, you will focus on preventing, detecting and responding to security threats across Brex's corporate and cloud environments. You will use existing systems and develop tools to improve our security capabilities. Our team is responsible for functions across corporate security, detection & response and infrastructure security domains; and we perform systems engineering and automation to support those functions. 

Security Operations is part of our wider Trust & IT organization which means you will have the opportunity to work closely with Application Security, Corporate Engineering, GRC and IT and to improve security configurations, drive positive employee behaviors and generally work to prevent events from becoming incidents. You will also help build and maintain our team’s open source project Substation and have the opportunity to contribute to the Brex Tech Blog. You’ll be part of a team that actively contributes to the wider security community and has a commitment to mentorship and engineering excellence.

We’re looking for individuals with a strong background and interest in detecting, responding to, and resolving security incidents and security challenges. You should be comfortable dealing with lots of moving pieces, changing priorities, and new technologies, while having a keen eye for detail. Most importantly, you should be enthusiastic about working with a variety of backgrounds, roles, and people across Brex. Building a world-class financial service requires world-class security.

Where you’ll work

This role will be based in our Vancouver 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!

Responsibilities

• Work on a highly cross-functional team to prevent, detect and respond to security threats across Brex's corporate and cloud environments
• Perform security incident response, investigation, remediation, and documentation, participate in periodic threat hunting and security exercises
• Leading, scoping and building features, participate in designing, and maintaining tools and systems which support the team’s domains – corporate security, detection & response and infrastructure security 
• Collaborating and partnering with engineering and operations teams to drive remediation of security issues, while balancing prioritization of those security issues within SLA and teams’ respective backlogs
• Caring about secure system design, valuing building things correctly, an understanding of a MVP approach and an empathetic mindset when working with others

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field OR equivalent training / fellowship OR 5+ years work experienceExperience working in a corporate security, detection & response or infrastructure security role with responsibilities for security alert triage and security incident response 
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems and DevOps workflows (e.g. Buildkite, Flux, Git, Terraform) in cloud environments (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Experience with deploying and maintaining some of the security services and tools owned by the team (e.g. - SIEM, data pipelines, SOAR, domain monitoring, endpoint tooling, email protection tooling, cloud security tools)
• While not primarily a development role, the team develops and maintains tools written in Go and Python, so experience with coding is required
• You thrive in a collaborative environment filled with a diverse group of people with different expertise and backgrounds. We currently have around 30 nationalities represented with more than ½ the company working in a country different from the one they grew up in.

Bonus points

• Proficiency with Go and other programming languages 
• Experience with securing distributed systems in AWS, cloud and Kubernetes environments
• Contributions to the wider technical community (open source, public research, mentorship, community organizing, blogging, presentations, etc)

Compensation

The expected salary range for this role is $192,000 CAD - $240,000 CAD. 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.
