About the role

  • Senior Data Scientist handling AI product lifecycle for Wealthsimple. Working at the intersection of AI research and product development to create real-world impact for clients.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the full AI product lifecycle: from identifying user pain points and defining KPIs to training foundation models and measuring real-world impact.
  • Design and execute rigorous experiments (A/B tests, causal inference) to validate new AI features and drive product optimizations.
  • Partner with Product Managers, Designers, and Engineers to translate business goals into a technical AI roadmap, ensuring our model development stays aligned with user needs and technical feasibility.
  • Build and maintain production-grade training pipelines and evaluation harnesses using reproducible, well-tested code.
  • Analyze production feedback and user interactions to iteratively refine models and maximize value.
  • Foster a collaborative culture: mentor teammates, simplify complex problems, and drive iterative, high-impact delivery.

Requirements

  • Deep product sense: define success metrics, translate vague business objectives into measurable hypotheses, and measure product impact through A/B testing and causal inference.
  • Experience with product analytics to derive actionable insights that inform product roadmaps.
  • Proven track record of converting model outputs into business outcomes; comfortable communicating technical findings to cross-functional partners (PMs, designers, engineers) to drive alignment.
  • Experience designing, training, and shipping production AI models, with depth in transformer architectures and LLMs.
  • Solid fundamentals (attention, tokenization, embeddings, regularization) and failure mode analysis.
  • Familiarity with fine-tuning (LoRA, adapters), knowledge distillation, quantization, and instruction tuning.

Benefits

  • Top-tier health benefits and life insurance
  • Long-term group savings with employer match, through Wealthsimple for Business
  • 20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year
  • 90 days away: work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year
