Requirements
At Félix, we're building the financial ecosystem for Latin immigrants in the U.S., starting with a revolution in remittances. Our core product is an AI-powered chatbot built on WhatsApp, allowing our users to send money home as easily as sending a text message. We leverage cutting-edge technology like AI, blockchain, and stablecoins to make cross-border payments faster, more affordable, and more accessible than ever before.
We are a hyper-growth Series B company, backed by over $100 million in funding from top-tier global investors, including QED, Castle Island, Switch Ventures, HTwenty, Monashees, and 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. We are a group of extremely talented and dedicated high-performers, united by our shared obsession with a single goal: empowering our customers. We are all owners of Félix, driven by a bias for action and a true experimentation spirit to get shit done with urgency and focus.
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. We are a team that is fiercely loyal to each other, where radical transparency and constructive feedback are how we grow and push for excellence. We are bold, we care less about what others are doing, and more about creating sustainable value and a product that truly makes our users' lives better. We are building the future, today.
This role is critical to supporting the expansion of our Core Systems. As a Senior Data Engineer, you will be the architect and owner of our data integration strategy, building robust and scalable pipelines specifically tailored for our Credit and Loan products.
You will join a high-performing squad where data isn't just a byproduct—it's the fuel for our credit scoring, risk models, and financial decision-making. We are looking for a proactive leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, possesses a deep "ownership" mentality, and is comfortable advising stakeholders on how to build a world-class data foundation that supports our hyper-growth.
- Design, deploy, and maintain scalable, end-to-end data pipelines for Credit and Loan products, ensuring high availability and data integrity.
- Continuously optimize data architecture to improve querying performance while maintaining high cost-efficiency.
- Partner closely with the Credit Squad to deeply understand their data needs, translating business requirements into technical data solutions.
- Identify, design, and implement internal process improvements: automating manual processes, optimizing data delivery, and re-designing infrastructure for greater scalability.
- Act as a strategic consultant for non-technical stakeholders, providing data-driven insights to guide product and business decisions.
- Implement best practices for data modeling, documentation, and testing to ensure our Core Systems remain resilient as we scale.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in Data Engineering roles, specifically building, maintaining, and scaling data architectures in production environments.
- Expert-level proficiency in Python, SQL, and dbt. You should be comfortable building complex transformations, managing analytics engineering workflows, and handling high-volume datasets.
- Proven experience in designing robust data models (Star Schema, Data Vault, etc.) specifically for financial or transactional products.
- Previous experience working with Credit, Loans, or Ledger systems is highly valued.
- A track record of taking ownership of complex projects from inception to deployment with minimal supervision.
- Proficiency in leveraging AI tools to accelerate development, automate monitoring, and improve code quality.
- Exceptional cross-functional communication skills; ability to explain technical trade-offs to business leads.
- Advanced English level.
- These are the applicable requisites, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary
- Initial stock options grant
- Annual performance bonus
- Health, dental, and vision plans
- Remote work environment, although we have offices in Miami and México City and would love to work in hybrid model if you are up to it.
- Continuous learning opportunities
- Unlimited PTO
- Paid parental leave
- Empowering opportunities for growth in a dynamic entrepreneurial environment
