The company offers a full suite of simple, sophisticated financial products across managed investing, do-it-yourself trading, cryptocurrency, tax filing, spending and saving. Wealthsimple currently serves more than 4 million Canadians and holds over $155 billion in assets under administration. The company was founded in 2014 by a team of financial experts and technology entrepreneurs, and is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.\nWe're proud of what we've built - and we're just getting started. Read our Culture Manual and learn more about how we work.\nML Platform & Infrastructure Team\nThe Machine Learning Infrastructure & Platform team builds the foundational architecture powering AI and GenAI initiatives across Wealthsimple. We sit at the intersection of production MLOps and cutting-edge GenAI enablement.\nAs our AI footprint expands rapidly, our priority is evolving our robust MLOps foundations into a scalable, high-performance LLM serving and routing platform. We build self-serve systems that allow Data Scientists and Engineers to host open-source LLMs reliably, optimize inference latencies, manage GPU infrastructure, and benchmark model performance safely in production.\nThe Role\nWe are looking for an experienced MLOps or ML Platform Engineer who is excited to pivot their deep background in model orchestration, serving, and platform tooling toward solving the unique challenges of LLM inference and infrastructure.\nIn this role, you will bridge the gap between traditional MLOps (model lifecycles, pipeline orchestration, serving infrastructure) and modern GenAI stack requirements (vLLM, GPU cluster management, intelligent model routing, and automated Evals). You will take end-to-end ownership of setting the technical direction for operating enterprise-grade LLM systems company-wide.\nIn this role, you will have the opportunity to:\nTurn MLOps expertise to GenAI: Transition traditional ML lifecycle and serving patterns into state-of-the-art LLM inference engines and GPU orchestration systems.\n\nBuild model-routing architecture: Design low-latency routing frameworks (e.g., LiteLLM integration) to dynamically direct requests across managed cloud providers (AWS Bedrock) and self-hosted open-source models.\n\nProvision & scale GPU infrastructure: Architect and manage high-performance GPU serving environments on Kubernetes using engines like vLLM, Ray, and Triton.\n\nDevelop evaluation & benchmarking tooling: Build automated Evals and observability frameworks to empower engineers and data scientists to validate model quality, latency, and drift against production requirements.\n\nEmpower self-serve ML across Wealthsimple: Partner with product engineering and data science teams to build framework-agnostic platform tooling that abstracts infrastructure complexity.\n\nDrive cost & performance optimization: Improve price-performance across self-hosted and managed inference by optimizing capacity, utilization, batching, routing, and model selection while meeting quality and reliability objectives\n\nWe are looking for people who have:\n7+ years of software engineering experience in ML Infrastructure, MLOps, ML Tooling, or Data Platform engineering.\n\nDeep experience in MLOps/ML Platform practices: Proven track record building and operating self-serve ML platforms, model registry workflows, experiment tracking, or production serving infrastructure (Kubeflow, MLflow, Ray, Triton, SageMaker).\n\nStrong platform fundamentals: Advanced proficiency in Python, container orchestration via Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and cloud provider ecosystem (AWS).\n\nStrong appetite to specialize in LLM serving: A genuine desire to leverage your existing MLOps skillset to tackle LLM-specific challenges (vLLM, model routing, prompt engineering tooling, vector databases, GPU memory optimization, or LLM evaluation frameworks).\n\nBackend performance & observability focus: Experience designing highly available, observable microservices (e.g., FastAPI) handling real-time, low-latency requests.\n\nEnd-to-end technical ownership: Proven capability to lead architectural roadmaps, guide multi-functional projects with high autonomy, and maintain complex platform systems for the long run.\n\nNice-to-haves (or areas you will learn on the job):\nDirect experience serving open-source Large Language Models in production (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Dynamo).\n\nHands-on work with CUDA, GPU partitioning, or distributed inference frameworks (Ray Serve).\n\nFamiliarity with vector search and retrieval engines (Elasticsearch, Qdrant, Pinecone).\n\nOur Stack Includes:\nContainer & Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS GPU Infrastructure\n\nML Serving & LLM Tooling: vLLM, Ray, Triton, LiteLLM, AWS Bedrock, MLflow, SageMaker\n\nLanguages & Frameworks: Python, FastAPI, PyTorch\n\nData & Streaming: Kafka, Postgres, Redshift, Snowflake\n\nWhy Wealthsimple?\nTop-tier health benefits and life insurance\nLong-term group savings with employer match, through Wealthsimple for Business\n20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year*\n90 days away: work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year*\nEmployee resource groups, including Rainbow (2SLGBTQ), Women of WS, and Black at WS\nWe are a hybrid team with over 1,500 employees across North America. The people are one of the best parts of working here: you'll collaborate with incredibly talented, curious, and driven teammates who are deeply committed to doing great work.\n*Unlimited paid sick days, Wellness Days and the 90 day away program do not apply to certain roles.\nICYMI\nTechnology & Innovation at Wealthsimple: We move quickly and build thoughtfully. That means we're always looking for better ways to work - whether that's new tools, AI, or rethinking how we approach a problem. We don't expect you to have all the answers, but we do expect curiosity and a willingness to evolve alongside the products we're building.\nInclusion Statement: We're building products for a diverse world, and we need a diverse team to do it well. We strongly encourage applications from everyone, regardless of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.\nAccessibility Statement: We're committed to an accessible hiring experience. If you need any accommodations throughout the interview process, please let us know - we'll work with you to make sure you have what you need. We also welcome any feedback on how we can better accommodate candidates with accessibility needs.\nAI in Hiring: We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of our hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our team but don't replace human judgment - all final hiring decisions are made by people.
