Software Engineer, Forward Deployed Agent Builder
Builds and deploys AI agents to automate internal workflows at Brex by embedding with teams, integrating systems and APIs, and measuring impact. Requires 4+ years experience shipping AI/automation with LLMs, agent frameworks, and databases.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Embed with partner teams to deeply understand workflows, including shadowing and learning different job functions.
- Scope, design, and deploy agents that take over real workflows across internal orgs.
- Integrate agents with internal systems, APIs, and data sources.
- Define evaluation frameworks, success metrics, and feedback loops to measure and improve agent performance.
- Build shared tooling and contribute to playbooks that accelerate deployments, while owning reliability, adoption, and business impact.
Requirements
- 4+ years in engineering, technical product/program management, applied AI, or a similar technical role, with a track record of shipping AI/automation systems to production.
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs, agent frameworks, and tool-use patterns (e.g., MCP, function calling, RAG) across the full stack (data, APIs, orchestration, product).
- Experience designing and optimizing SQL and/or NoSQL databases, including data modeling, query performance tuning, and schema design.
- Strong ability to decompose human workflows into scalable, agentic systems, grounded in a deep curiosity for how people work.
- High ownership and cross-functional influence, with the ability to quickly build trust across teams and seniority levels.
Nice-to-haves
- Experience automating back-office functions rather than just customer-facing AI features.
- Experience with OpenClaw, Hermes, or other general-purpose agent harnesses.
Compensation
Expected salary range: $152,000 - $240,000 base pay (depending on location, skills, experience, market demands, and internal pay parity). Equity and other compensation may be provided.
