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 $169 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.\nAbout the team\nPeople Intelligence sits within People and Communications. We build the data and products behind talent decisions at every level - from leaders, managers, and employees. Our partners in Total Rewards, HRBP, Talent Management, and People Operations depend on what we ship..The team is a growing team, and you will help set the engineering standard for how we build.\nIn this role, you'll have the opportunity to:\nLead technical projects from first design through launch and iteration, across products such as performance cycles, compensation planning, talent reviews, total rewards statements, and self-service tools.\n\nDesign scalable architectures that integrate with our internal systems (i.e. Workday, Ashby, etc.) and our people data platform, that holds up when the whole company is in a review or compensation cycle.\n\nBuild with security in mind from the first commit, including role and reporting-line access, protection for compensation and performance data, and an audit trail on every change.\n\nWork directly with Total Rewards, HR business partners, Talent Management, and People Operations to understand how each program runs, transforming it into products that managers and employees want to use.\n\nAI is native to you, and speeds up how you design, build, and test, to help the team adopt the workflows that hold up.\n\nRaise the technical bar through design reviews, code review, documentation, and mentorship.\n\nSkills you bring:\n5+ years of professional software development, with a track record of building internal tools and production systems that employees and teams depend on every day.\n\nFull-stack experience building web applications, with depth in at least one of Ruby, Python, TypeScript, or Kotlin, and a modern frontend framework such as React.\n\nExperience designing systems that handle sensitive data, including authentication, fine-grained authorization, and auditability.\n\nClear communication with non-technical partners, and the product judgment to simplify a complex process rather than rebuild.\n\nExperience taking a product from 0 to 1, including making architectural calls with incomplete information and revisiting them as you learn.\n\nNice-to-have's:\nExperience building HR or people products, such as performance management, compensation planning, talent management, or employee self-service. We value this domain depth highly.\n\nExperience integrating with an HRIS such as Workday, including its APIs and effective-dated data and other HR related systems (i.e. Ashby, Lever, Shareworks, Okta, etc.)\n\nFamiliarity with how people programs run, including review and calibration cycles, compensation bands and merit planning, and job architecture.\n\nExperience in a regulated or privacy-sensitive environment.\n\nWho you are:\nYou are self-directed, and you find the next problem worth solving without waiting for a ticket.\n\nYou are curious about how things work, and you ask why a process exists before you change it.\n\nYou treat employee data with care and think about privacy and access as design constraints from the start.\n\nYou would rather ship a simple version, learn from real users, and improve it than hold back a perfect one.\n\nYou own outcomes, not just code, and you stay with a product after it launches.\n\nYou make the people around you better through pairing, reviews, and clear writing.\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.
