Wealthsimple Technologies - Senior Software Developer
Requirements
• Senior software engineer with strong full-stack range and comfort across data pipelines, internal tooling, and AI-augmented workflow automation. • A genuine collaborator with non-engineers — you can sit in an ops standup, ask the right questions, build trust with compliance officers and traders, and translate what you hear into shippable solutions. • A genuine collaborator with non-engineers • Bias for shipping in the weeds. You make judgment calls about what to fix without waiting for a PM to scope it. You close loops yourself. • Bias for shipping in the weeds. • Comfort with ambiguity. This role rewards engineers who can take a vague "this workflow is painful" and walk out with a concrete diagnosis, a path, and an outcome. • Comfort with ambiguity. • A reuse-first mindset. You coordinate across embedded teams (AML, brokerage tooling, reliability) and integrate with what already exists rather than rebuilding it. • A reuse-first mindset. • Entrepreneur mindset. You proactively identify what needs doing, take ownership, and drive solutions forward, thriving on autonomy rather than waiting for a predefined problem or plan. • Entrepreneur mindset. • Deep curiosity. You're the person who reads the docs before the meeting, digs into the "why" behind the business requirement, and learns a new domain because you genuinely want to understand how things work — not just what you need to ship. • Deep curiosity. • AI-first mindset. You leverage AI tools to accelerate development, improve code quality, and solve problems more effectively. You have already evolved your workflow through AI and are eager to continue innovating. • AI-first mindset. • Strong written communication. You'll regularly report to the Engineering and Brokerage leadership on what you're learning and where the next 10x opportunity is • Strong written communication. • Experience in fintech, brokerage operations, regulated financial services, or capital markets infrastructure • Familiarity with Oracle/Exadata/EBS, ledger systems, or large-scale internal tooling platforms • A track record of shipping AI-driven workflow automation in regulated environments • Experience leading workstreams that spanned multiple teams or organizations, delivering impact without having direct authority over everyone involved. • If this resonates, we'd love to hear from you. Tell us about a manual workflow you've made disappear — what you learned about the people doing the work, what you shipped, and what you'd do differently.
Responsibilities
• Embed with enablement teams — Brokerage Operations, AML/Compliance Supervision, Trade Desk, Treasury, Account Operations, Margin Supervision — to deeply understand how the work gets done and where the friction lives. • Embed with enablement teams • Automate high-volume manual workflows end to end, from regulatory reporting (AML STR/LVCTR/EFTR, Form 1/CIRO, DTC asset segregation) to journal entries, reconciliations, collateral monitoring, brokerage liquidations, and complex registered-plan administration. • Automate high-volume manual workflows end to end • Advance our risk oversight for leveraged offerings by building automated alerts, managing liquidation processes, and daily reconciliations with external vendors. • Advance our risk oversight • Partner with the AI agentic workflows team to make sure what you build is accurate, secure, auditable, and reuses shared components rather than reinventing them. • Partner with the AI agentic workflows team • Exercise judgment on what's the highest impact. You won't be handed a ticket backlog — you'll work with leadership on the Brokerage team, engineering managers, and with the operators themselves to decide what gets built. • Exercise judgment on what's the highest impact. • Surface the invisible problems. Some of your most valuable output will be insight: pattern recognition across workflows that becomes input to regular R&D planning. • Surface the invisible problems.
