How to Actually Get Hired
Who reads applications, which channel gets a reply, and what they screen for.
Don't make these mistakes
Pitching yourself as an 'AI enthusiast' or leading with interest in LLMs generally. Felix's thesis is specifically that LLMs are overused. Leading with LLM excitement is the wrong foot. Lead with workflow thinking, compliance awareness, and operational precision.
What gets their attention
XYZ Venture Capital has a pattern: they back technically differentiated products with early enterprise traction and then push hard on go-to-market.
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
There's an ATS, but at Felix, referrals get priority. Your cold application competes with sourced candidates and internal recommendations.
Who to contact at Felix
What to show them
Felix's product requires professionals to describe their workflows in plain language. Someone needs to take that input, validate it, help convert it to code, and ensure it runs reliably in production inside a client's existing tech stack. This is a hybrid role: part technical, part domain knowledge, part customer-facing. It is the kind of role that does not exist at most companies and exists at every company like Felix. Core skills: Python or JavaScript, API integrations, process mapping, legal or financial workflow knowledge, client communication, technical writing for non-technical audiences. Proof of work: Map out a real legal or insurance workflow (mortgage application review, contract clause extraction, insurance eligibility check) in a structured format: inputs, decision points, outputs, and where LLM judgment is actually needed versus where it is not. Show your reasoning. This is exactly what Felix needs to onboard new clients.

A tailored CV beats a generic one. Use Felix's job description language to clear filters.
Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a -person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what Felix is dealing with right now — Around 70% of professional services firms now use AI in some form, and what you'd do about it.
Applying and waiting = silence. Follow up at day five — it roughly doubles your odds of a reply.
