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. About the Role We are seeking a highly technical Engineering Manager to lead the team building the core, real-time Risk and Fraud Detection Platform at Félix. This is a mission-critical role: your team’s success directly protects our financial stability by ensuring a secure platform. You will lead a team of talented engineers, driving high-velocity execution and a platform-first technical strategy. You will balance between day-to-day team management and direct, hands-on contribution to our most critical risk mitigation systems. Responsibilities - Technical Execution: Act as a hands-on manager coding and architecting high-priority features for the fraud detection platform (e.g., real-time monitoring, rule engines, ML model deployment pipelines). - Metric-Driven Ownership: Take extreme ownership of the technical roadmap for the Risk Platform. Translate business goals (e.g., reducing fraud loss by X%, lowering false positive rates) into clear engineering objectives, and hold the team accountable for measurable business impact. - Platform Scaling & Resilience: Oversee the design, implementation, and scaling of low-latency, high-throughput systems crucial for real-time risk assessment, ensuring high availability and resilience. - Team & Talent Development: Manage team performance, provide mentorship, and lead technical career development.

Background in the Fintech or Payments industry is also highly preferred, but not required. - Technical Fluency & Execution: Proven experience as a senior software engineer with a strong track record of delivering successful, high-stakes platform projects. You must be able to coach engineers on architecting resilient, data-intensive, and real-time systems. - Management Experience: Minimum of 1 year of experience managing an engineering team, demonstrating the ability to inspire a team to operate with urgency and focus, and high quality. - Ownership Mindset: A track record of operating with extreme ownership in ambiguous environments, making high-impact decisions with incomplete data, and taking accountability for the business outcomes of your engineering solutions. - Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical trade-offs and risks clearly and transparently to engineering peers, product managers, and executive stakeholders. - Willingness to Learn and Adapt: While technology agnostic, a familiarity with our stack (Python, Flask, REST APIs, Cloud Services) is helpful, but the willingness to rapidly acquire deep domain and stack knowledge is paramount. - 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 - 401(k) - 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 Equal Opportunity Employer At Félix, we are committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all qualified employees and applicants without regard to race, religion, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or disability.
