Wealthsimple

Staff Software Developer - Money Management

Job Description

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.
