Wealthsimple is seeking experienced Canadian leaders abroad in Engineering, Product & Design, Data & Machine Learning, Finance & Strategy, and Leadership roles to help build impactful financial tools in Canada.
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.
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)
- 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.
What happens next:
1. Submit your resume and a few quick answers. This helps us connect you with the right people.
2. We’ll reach out. Not with a bot, but a real human from Wealthsimple.
3. We’ll set up a casual chat. Think of it as a human conversation, not a formal interview.
4. If there’s a fit, we’ll introduce you to a senior leader from our team.
5. Once everything aligns, congratulations. You’re coming home to build.
