About Us

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.

• Lead vulnerability management, threat analysis, and incident response activities to ensure continuous improvement of the security program.
  
  
• Partner with Damian Finol and other engineering leaders to integrate security‑by‑design principles into infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and product development.
  
  

Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, PCI‑DSS, ISO 27001, and NIST.

• Familiarity with security design for modern SaaS or FinTech environments.
  
  
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate complex technical issues into clear business context.
  
  
• Leadership experience guiding and mentoring security or technical teams.
  
  
• These are the applicable requisites, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.
