Brex is a fintech company building corporate cards, expense management, and cash accounts for startups and enterprises. They move fast and they hire for it. The interview process typically runs 3-5 weeks and involves a recruiter screen, a technical or functional screen, and a virtual onsite of 4-5 rounds.
For engineers, expect a coding screen (LeetCode-style, medium difficulty), a system design round focused on financial infrastructure topics like idempotency, transaction processing, or ledger design, and at least one behavioral round. Brex asks behavioral questions that probe ownership, speed, and cross-functional judgment. They care about people who have shipped things under pressure and learned from it.
For PM and business roles, expect case-style questions, product critique, and metric-driven discussions. Finance and ops candidates often face a mix of technical and strategic prompts.
Culture signals: Brex is remote-first (HQ in San Francisco but distributed), moves at startup speed, and expects high ownership from IC level up. They have reduced headcount in prior cycles, so interviewers often ask about navigating ambiguity and doing more with less.
