About the role

Join Wealthsimple as a Staff Software Developer to help reimagine money management solutions. Collaborate across the full tech stack with a focus on product impact and innovation.

Responsibilities

Own entire product capabilities end-to-end. Not components of a project — whole features, from problem definition through production. You'll define what to build as much as you build it, working backward from client impact and business outcomes.
Work across the full stack — and beyond it. You'll build UI in React and React Native, design GraphQL APIs, write backend services in Ruby/Rails or Kotlin, and model data in Postgres. When the work takes you into unfamiliar services or cross-system behavior, you'll dive in without waiting for a guide.
Ship fast, at a high bar. You'll set the pace for how the team delivers. You'll know when to be scrappy and when to be rigorous — and your systems will hold up either way.
Shape the product, not just the code. You'll work closely with our team leads to turn vision into product — weighing in on strategy, user problems, and priorities. Your job is delivering outcomes, not just writing software.

You are: A maker-owner. You take direct responsibility for what you build and how it lands. When something isn't right, you fix it — whether or not it's "yours."
Low-ego and high-conviction. You advocate clearly for your ideas and change your mind when presented with better ones. You care about getting it right more than being right.
Scrappy and self-directed. You move quickly with limited information, navigate ambiguity comfortably, and figure things out as you go. You don't need a roadmap to get started.
Deeply curious. You experiment & learn constantly — especially with AI. You might not've stood up Gastown, but you've tinkered with Ralph loops.
Battle-tested. You've built and shipped real products used by real people. You've operated in environments where speed and autonomy were expected, not optional.
