From the employer’s posting
We are seeking an innovative and highly technical Machine Learning Data Engineer to build the foundational data infrastructure that powers our Large Language Models (LLMs) and autonomous AI agents. In this role, you will sit at the bleeding edge of generative AI, focusing on the end-to-end data lifecycle—from orchestrating real-time telemetry to architecting the pipelines that train and refine our models. You will be responsible for ensuring our models are fed with high-quality, diverse, and well-structured data to drive continuous performance improvements.
Design, build, and maintain highly scalable, automated data pipelines to extract, clean, and format massive datasets specifically for LLM fine-tuning (Supervised Fine-Tuning, RLHF, and DPO)
Develop robust telemetry and sampling systems to ingest real-time production data
Architect and scale synthetic data generation workflows
Implement automated data quality checks, deduplication strategies, and toxicity filtering
Manage and optimize data flows into vector databases to support Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) capabilities for our agentic workflows
What you’ll bring

Job description
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.
