About the role

  • Senior Analytics Developer at Wealthsimple developing analytical data models for financial services. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve data quality and operational decision-making.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain high-quality analytical data models that support core brokerage and ledger workflows.
  • Own critical datasets that power client-facing metrics, operational decision-making, and regulatory reporting.
  • Work with large, complex, and often imperfect data sources, making trade-offs explicit and outcomes reliable.
  • Partner closely with product managers, engineers, operations, finance, compliance, and CX teams to understand stakeholder needs and translate them into durable data solutions.
  • Take a product-minded approach to analytics: designing datasets for clarity, usability, and long-term maintainability, not just correctness.
  • Establish and uphold standards for data quality, testing, documentation, and observability.
  • Use automation and modern tooling to reduce manual work and increase confidence in outputs.
  • Apply AI-assisted workflows thoughtfully to improve speed, quality, or insight generation, and clearly articulate where and why they add value.
  • Mentor and support other analytics developers through design reviews, code reviews, and informal coaching.
  • Communicate complex data concepts clearly, helping partners understand not just what the data says, but how to use it.

Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience working with large, complex analytical datasets in a production environment.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience building analytical models or data marts that are consumed by others.
  • Product-oriented mindset with a focus on data usability, consistency, and long-term ownership.
  • Experience collaborating with non-technical stakeholders and translating ambiguous questions into concrete analytical work.
  • Familiarity with modern analytics tooling such as dbt, Airflow, Python, and cloud data warehouses (e.g. Redshift, Snowflake). Deep expertise in every tool is not required.
  • Experience applying AI tools or techniques to analytics or data engineering workflows, with the ability to explain the impact clearly.
  • Comfort working in regulated or high-stakes environments where correctness, auditability, and trust matter.
  • Experience in financial services, trading, or accounting is a plus, but not a requirement.

Benefits

  • Top-tier health benefits and life insurance
  • Long-term group savings with employer match using our Wealthsimple for Business platform
  • 20 vacation days + 4 wellness days per year, and unlimited sick and mental health days
  • 90 days away program: Employees can work outside of Canada for up to 90 days per calendar year
  • A wide variety of peer and company-led Employee Resources Groups (e.g., Rainbow, Women of Wealthsimple, Black @ WS)
