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, 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 “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're hiring our first Senior Counsel: the General Counsel's first hire and the second lawyer at the company. Because Félix is a regulated fintech, Legal is part of every major decision! You'll be brought in early and work with our VPs and C-suite on the company's most important commercial deals, from structuring and negotiation strategy through signing, so your advice will directly shape how we build and grow.

As we expand from remittances into credit, yield, and wallet products, you'll own our commercial contracting and lead on Latin American legal matters. It's a senior, independent role, and the impact goes beyond the deals themselves: you'll use top-tier legal skills to serve the Latino community, helping build financial products for people the traditional system has overlooked.

Responsibilities

• Lead negotiation and drafting of commercial agreements across our fintech stack. That includes payout partners across Latin America, liquidity providers, payment and card networks, stablecoin issuers and crypto infrastructure providers, yield providers, and banking-as-a-service platforms.
• Negotiate technology agreements: master services agreements, API and platform int

• Proven ability to run complex commercial negotiations independently and reach commercially sound outcomes.
• Experience building contract review playbooks and using AI or legal tech to automate or speed up review.
• Real curiosity about the business. You can explain what makes a product work and why it wins, not just what its contracts say.
• Spanish fluency, both conversational and legal. You can review Spanish-language agreements and read Spanish-language statutes and regulations without translation.
• These are the applicable requirements, although equivalent competencies in any of the above will also be considered.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Initial stock options grant
• Annual performance bonus
• Unlimited PTO
• Paid parental leave
• Hybrid work setup
• Health, dental, and vision plans
• 401(k) with employer matching, for US-based employees
• Continuous learning opportunities
• Empowering opportunities for growth in a dynamic entrepreneurial environment

The starting base salary for this role typically ranges between $200,000 and $225,000 USD, tailored to experience and skill set. Because we are all owners of Félix, equity is a core component of our total compensation package. Your recruiter will walk you through our complete benefits, health coverage, equity structure, and total compensation details during your first call.
