Canada onlyYour career is an investment that grows over time!
Wealthsimple is on a mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom by reimagining what it means to manage your money. Using smart technology, we take financial services that are often confusing, opaque and expensive and make them transparent and low-cost for everyone. We’re the largest fintech company in Canada, with over 3 million users who trust us with more than $30 billion in assets.
Our teams ship often and make an impact with groundbreaking ideas. We're looking for talented people who keep it simple and value collaboration and humility as we continue to create inclusive and high-performing teams where people can be inspired to do their best work.
The Brokerage Linking team builds and maintains technology enabling clients to quickly, securely, and accurately link accounts. This platform team works closely with product engineering teams at Wealthsimple to support new and elevated client experiences.
The Clients Domainat Wealthsimple oversees the broad and important mandate of growing our client base. We acquire and guide clients through their onboarding journey so that they can seamlessly open and fund their accounts — most often we do this with no human intervention and in hours not days! To accomplish this, we’ve built industry-leading technology focused on automation and integrate various third-party technologies to verify client identities and link bank accounts. We’re also highly data-backed and execute experiments and features to reduce friction in our user experience — helping new clients onboard easier, and existing clients adopt additional Wealthsimple products and refer others.
