About Us

At Félix, we are building the indispensable financial companion for Latinos in the US. We combine an AI-powered, conversational-first interface with real-time financial infrastructure to make cross-border money movement as easy as sending a text. Starting with fast, affordable remittances powered by AI and crypto rails, we are expanding into credit, savings, and wallet services to support the complete immigrant financial journey. Our ambition is to deliver a white-glove financial experience with the simplicity of a conversation to a community the traditional financial system has historically overlooked. We are a hyper-growth Series C company, backed by over $300 million in funding from top-tier global investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, QED, Castle Island, Switch Ventures, HTwenty, Monashees, General Catalyst Customer Value Fund. This isn't just about the numbers; it's a testament to the trust our investors have in our vision and our team. Additionally, Félix was selected as an “Endeavour Entrepreneur” and was a recipient of the CrossTech Fintech Startups Award. Joining Félix means you will be part of a team building a legacy, a company that will outlive us all. This is a rare opportunity to apply your skills to a deeply meaningful mission - serving a community that has been underserved for too long because we are obsessed with our customers. We get things done with urgency and focus, driven by extreme ownership over our impact. We collaborate without ego, fostering radical transparency and fierce loyalty so we can grow together. Because we aim for insanely great rather than just good enough, we stay insatiably curious - always experimenting, building the future today, and delivering a product that truly makes our users' lives better.

About The Role

Your role will be crucial in designing and enhancing interactive chat services and frontend (mobile and web) experiences that enable seamless, intuitive user interactions on platforms like WhatsApp, Web, and Mobile Application. If you have experience building chatbots, mobile applications, webpages, or crafting conversational experiences, this is your chance to make a significant impact.

• Cloud Integration: Develop backend services using established industry standards and Google Cloud services.
• Collaboration & Mentorship: Foster the growth of junior developers through mentorship and best practice implementation, while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams including product, UX/UI, and business units.
