Job Description
Future Leadership Opportunities for Canadians Abroad at Wealthsimple
Hey Canadian leaders abroad…it’s time. You’ve built remarkable things. Led AI teams in San Francisco, scaled fintechs in New York, designed next-gen platforms in Boston. But what if the next big thing isn’t there - it’s here? At Wealthsimple, we’re on a mission to help millions of people achieve financial freedom through simple, powerful, and accessible tools. We're building one of the most ambitious and meaningful tech companies in Canada, and we’re looking for world-class Canadian talent to come home and help us build what’s next.
Our Mission in Canada
Change the game, for Canada. Canada has urgent problems to solve, and real momentum. The work is complex, the scale is real and the impact will be felt by millions of people everyday - your family members, friends, and even your kindergarten teacher. Canada is at a turning point. We’re seeing real momentum in our tech ecosystem, and we need experienced leaders who know how to build at scale. It’s more than just a job. It’s about joining a mission: building products that empower millions of people and creating pathways to financial freedom.
Who We're Looking For
- Engineering: AI, infrastructure, backend, frontend, mobile expertise.
- Product & Design: Platform design, fintech innovation, user-centric systems.
- Data & Machine Learning: ML engineers, data scientists, real-time analytics.
- Finance & Strategy: Investor relations, strategic finance, capital markets.
- Leadership roles: VP and Director level across R&D, Product, Strategy, and Ops.
Whether you’re a technical trailblazer, a product visionary, or a builder of high-performance teams, if you’ve led at the frontier and want to make a dent in Canada, we want to talk.
The Wealthsimple Hiring Process
- Submit your resume and a few quick answers. This helps us connect you with the right people.
- We’ll reach out. Not with a bot, but a real human from Wealthsimple.
- We’ll set up a casual chat. Think of it as a human conversation, not a formal interview.
- If there’s a fit, we’ll introduce you to a senior leader from our team.
- Once everything aligns, congratulations. You’re coming home to build.
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.
