Job Description
Build something people love
Wealthsimple is on a mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom by reimagining what it means to manage your money. Using smart technology, we take financial services that are often confusing, opaque and expensive and make them transparent and low-cost for everyone. We’re the largest fintech company in Canada, with over 3+ million users who trust us with more than $100 billion in assets.
Our teams ship often and make an impact with groundbreaking ideas. We’re looking for talented people who keep it simple and value collaboration and humility as we continue to create inclusive and high-performing teams where people can be inspired to do their best work.
About the Team
We’re a new team at Wealthsimple with an unusual origin story. Our team ships like a startup, we don’t have layers of process or handoffs. Engineers own entire projects end-to-end — from problem definition through production — and are measured by the outcomes they deliver for clients and the business, not by the volume of code they write. We move fast, hold a high quality bar, and take direct responsibility for what we build.
In this role you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Own entire product capabilities end-to-end. Not components of a project — whole features, from problem definition through production. You’ll define what to build as much as you build it, working backward from client impact and business outcomes.
- Work across the full stack — and beyond it. You’ll build UI in React and React Native, design GraphQL APIs, write backend services in Ruby/Rails or Kotlin, and model data in Postgres. When the work takes you into unfamiliar services or cross-system behavior, you’ll dive in without waiting for a guide.
- Ship fast, at a high bar. You’ll set the pace for how the team delivers. You’ll know when to be scrappy and when to be rigorous — and your systems will hold up either way.
- Shape the product, not just the code. You’ll work closely with our team leads to turn vision into product — weighing in on strategy, user problems, and priorities. Your job is delivering outcomes, not just writing software.
You are:
- A maker-owner. You take direct responsibility for what you build and how it lands. When something isn’t right, you fix it — whether or not it’s “yours.”
- Low-ego and high-conviction. You advocate clearly for your ideas and change your mind when presented with better ones. You care about getting it right more than being right.
- Scrappy and self-directed. You move quickly with limited information, navigate ambiguity comfortably, and figure things out as you go. You don’t need a roadmap to get started.
- Deeply curious. You experiment & learn constantly — especially with AI. You might not’ve stood up Gastown, but you’ve tinkered with Ralph loops.
- Battle-tested. You’ve built and shipped real products used by real people. You’ve operated in environments where speed and autonomy were expected, not optional.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
