Equal Opportunity Employer
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.
As a key member of our engineering team, you will have a unique opportunity to shape the core technology behind our chat-driven platform. You will work on the Félix's Product Engineering team — a sophisticated system that not only processes high volumes of transactions but also delivers conversational experiences through integrated chatbots and natural language interfaces. 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.
We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer with deep expertise in mobile development (React Native, Flutter, or similar) and a solid understanding of backend logic and architecture. You will play a key role in building intuitive, high-quality mobile experiences while working across the stack to deliver seamless end-to-end solutions.
We are technology agnostic and value candidates with diverse backgrounds. While familiarity with the following is helpful, your willingness to learn and adapt is paramount:
- Back-end: Python, Flask/FastAPI, REST APIs, Redis, SQL, gRPC

- Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Terraform, NewRelic, PagerDuty
- Mobile Experience: Design, develop, and iteration of our mobile application, building fast, reliable, and intuitive experiences with React Native or similar frameworks.
- Design & Architecture: Architect and implement high-performance, scalable backend microservices, including core components of our Chat Platform.
- End-to-End Ownership: Deliver features across the full stack, from the mobile UI to the backend services and APIs that support them, and contribute to backend logic.
- 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.
- Continuous Improvement: Leverage customer feedback and analytics to iterate and improve our conversational experience, ensuring that our chatbots remain effective and user-friendly.
- Proficiency in English is required.
These are the applicable requisites, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered:
- 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong mobile fundamentals: state management, navigation, performance profiling, offline and network handling, native integrations, and the app store release process.
