Staff Software Developer enhancing platform reliability at Wealthsimple. Collaborating across engineering teams to prevent incidents and improve operational standards.
Responsibilities
Improve the platform to prevent incidents — designing and driving adoption of guardrails, sensible defaults, and engineering standards that reduce the likelihood of failures across services
Build tooling that reduces time to mitigation when incidents occur, including contributing to our in-house product on AI-assisted incident response
Own the investigation and follow-through on load test findings — translating results into concrete reliability improvements across critical flows
Work across platform and product engineering teams as a technical influencer — participating in architecture and readiness reviews, coaching service owners, and driving adoption of scalable reliability practices
Identify recurring failure patterns and design platform-level fixes that prevent them from showing up again in a different service
Contribute to the team’s reliability syncs with product engineering, helping align on incident themes, critical-flow risks, and the next highest-leverage initiatives
Requirements
8+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time in platform, infrastructure, or SRE work
Demonstrated track record of improving reliability at scale — reducing incidents, building guardrails, or driving operational standards across multiple teams
Strong proficiency in backend systems and distributed architecture; you can diagnose complex failure modes across a service mesh
Experience with load testing and capacity planning, and the ability to translate findings into concrete engineering improvements
Proven ability to work across engineering teams as a technical influencer — driving adoption of standards and practices without direct authority
Familiarity with Kubernetes, Helm, Argo and modern deployment tooling
Strong written and verbal communication — comfortable presenting findings and recommendations to both engineering teams and senior leadership.
