Brex•San Francisco, CA

4d•$192,000 - $240,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Brex is hiring a Senior Product Designer for its Travel & Expenses design team. The team designs experiences for employee travel booking, expense management, and reimbursements, as well as the policy and compliance tools finance teams use to set and enforce rules. The role focuses on making complex financial workflows clear and intuitive for employees and giving finance teams control and visibility without creating unnecessary work. The team is also building AI agents to handle manual expense and compliance tasks, including designing how those agents behave, explain their actions, and recover from mistakes. The designer will lead ambiguous, cross-functional product work from problem definition through shipped execution, with high ownership and limited oversight. They will set design direction for a core area of Travel & Expenses, establish its vision and roadmap with Product and Engineering, and turn loosely defined problems into clear scopes and iterative releases. The role requires strong craft, product judgment, systems thinking, and close collaboration across Product, Engineering, Research, Data, and Go-to-Market teams. The role is based in Brex’s San Francisco, Seattle, or New York City office in a hybrid environment. Employees are currently required to work in the office at least three coordinated days per week—Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday—with up to four weeks per year of fully remote work available as a perk. The expected salary range is $192,000–$240,000; starting base pay depends on factors including location, skills, experience, market demands, and internal pay parity. Equity and other forms of compensation may be provided depending on the position offered.

Requirements

A strong portfolio of shipped product work, ideally across complex workflows, systems, or customer-facing business software.
Experience independently leading ambiguous product initiatives and turning loosely defined problems into clear, executable plans.
Strong product thinking, including connecting design decisions to customer needs, business goals, and measurable outcomes.
High craft across UX, interaction design, visual design, prototyping, and systems thinking.
Experience partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Data, and other cross-functional partners throughout product development.
Ability to facilitate discussions, synthesize input, communicate tradeoffs, and build alignment across stakeholders.
Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve and designers are expected to favor learning, iteration, and shipped impact.
Clear communication, strong feedback habits, and a collaborative approach to improving personal work and the work of others.

Nice To Haves

Experience designing financial products, developer tools, enterprise software, or other complex B2B workflows.
Experience using AI tools for prototyping, research synthesis, design exploration, or day-to-day workflow acceleration.
Experience contributing to or evolving a design system at scale.
Experience conducting or partnering on generative and evaluative research.
Ability to translate complex product, technical, or business constraints into simple customer experiences.

Responsibilities

Own the design direction for a core area of travel and expenses and set a vision and roadmap with Product and Engineering.
Turn loosely defined problems into clear scope, milestones, and shippable increments by deciding what needs to be true, what to build first, and what to leave out.
Define underlying product models—including states, transitions, and edge cases—before designing screens, ensure consistent behavior across surfaces, and share those models with dependent teams.
Plan, conduct, and synthesize research; use customer feedback and data to make and validate design decisions.
Design AI-assisted experiences, including how an agent requests confirmation, explains its actions, and enables people to correct mistakes.
Partner with Product and Engineering on scope, sequencing, and tradeoffs; raise risks early and stay involved through implementation.
Work across teams on shared components, policy rules, and payment flows; resolve conflicts before they reach Engineering and represent Design in cross-team planning.
Raise the team’s quality bar through critique, clear standards for content, color, and component states, and contributions to the design system.
Mentor designers through feedback, pairing, and sharing approaches to ambiguous problems.
Present work and rationale to leadership, partners, and customers, and document decisions for others to build on.
