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.

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 “Endeavor 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.

• SLOs and Reliability: Drive the definition and adoption of SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets across services.
• Incident Support: Make sure observability data helps teams detect, investigate, and resolve incidents quickly.
• Hands-on Building: Build and automate observability tooling with Terraform, Helm, and Go or Python.
• Collaboration: Partner with the Cloud Operations Manager, developers, and App Performance to prioritize the most impactful work.
  
  

Requirements

• Experience: 7+ years in SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering, with experience in a technical leadership role.

• Infrastructure as Code: Experience with Terraform and Helm.
• Leadership: Proven experience mentoring engineers and driving technical standards across teams.
• Additional Skills: Experience with APM, cost optimization of observability tooling, and fintech or regulated environments is a plus.
• These are the applicable requirements, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.
