Brex application questions — all 13, word for word
Brex hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 13 questions, 8 of them required. 1 of them is a required, fixed-choice question about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
332 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in sales and engineering. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.
What Brex has open
These are the roles the form was read from, as Brex titles them, in San Francisco, California, United States, New York, New York, United States, Seattle, Washington, United States, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada:

11 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 212 employers measured ask (median: 13), the least standard being “Do you currently, or have you previously, worked at Capital One or a company acquired by Capital One as an employee, contractor, consultant, or temp? (For example Capital One Bank, N.A., Capital One Services, Inc., Chevy Chase Bank, Discover, Hibernia, ING Direct, North Fork Bank)”.
The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether Brex does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — Brex's asks for 8 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
