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 “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.

About the Role

We are looking for a Product-minded Engineering Manager to lead a dedicated squad within our conversational ecosystem and user onboarding journey. In this role, you will act as a Solution Designer, bridging the gap between complex business requirements and high-level technical execution. You will lead a team of talented software engineers, driving innovation for a key domain such as User Onboarding (transitioning users from Web to WhatsApp) or Conversational Flows for Wallets & Credits. Your focus will be on delivery, results, and fostering a high-performance culture that empowers our users.

Responsibilities

Manage squad performance, set goals, and track progress while providing direct mentorship to foster a culture of continuous growth.
Act as a Solution Designer, translating product and business demands into scalable technical architectures.
Partner closely with the Product team to define, prioritize, and execute the technical roadmap for landing pages or chatbot transaction flows.
Focus on Business Metrics, ensuring the engineering team provides tools and tracking for usability, conversion funnels, and retention.
Support high-level technical decisions and architectural guidance, ensuring the team delivers performant and optimized solutions.
Lead people management initiatives, including 1:1s, career development, and maintaining high motivation levels within the squad.
Optimize development processes and improve code quality while setting a high-quality standard for the team.
Generate exemplary technical documentation to set the foundations for the squad’s long-term success.

Requirements

Proven experience in team management (ideally 2+ years leading direct reports), with a strong track record of having direct reports in a fast-paced technology environment.
Strong delivery-oriented mindset, with experience supporting stakeholders and coordinating teams to achieve tangible business results.
Ability to act at a high technical level, focusing on system design and problem-solving rather than just hands-on coding.
Product-centric approach, with an interest in user experience, metrics, and business-driven engineering.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with Product Managers and other cross-functional stakeholders.
Ability to inspire and motivate a team, taking full ownership of the developers' growth and career concerns.
Advanced/Fluent English
Experience in the Fintech industry or startup environments is a strong plus.
Interest or experience in Conversational UX (WhatsApp-based flows) or web-to-mobile user transitions is a significant advantage.
These are the applicable requisites, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.
