You’ll help answer foundational questions such as: How should operational work be redesigned in an AI‑native world? How do we increase efficiency and automation while maintaining strong customer experience and risk controls? How do we build systems that create leverage across rapidly scaling operational teams? This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of operational systems and AI transformation at Brex. Where You Will Work This role will be based in our San Francisco office.
