Using smart technology, we take financial services that are often confusing, opaque and expensive and make them transparent and low-cost for everyone. We’re the largest fintech company in Canada, with over 4 million users who trust us with more than $50 billion in assets.
Our teams ship often and make an impact with groundbreaking ideas. We're looking for talented people who keep it simple and value collaboration and humility as we continue to create inclusive and high-performing teams where people can be inspired to do their best work.
The Securities team lies at the heart of Wealthsimple’s mission —a powerhouse responsible for all things securities data across the organization. Whether it’s forging strong integrations with data providers or delivering lightning-fast, highly accurate pricing, metadata, and charting in our apps, this team ensures our clients and internal stakeholders have the insights they need to succeed. We don't stop at powering client-facing applications; we also serve as the foundation for our internal teams, from reporting to data science to enabling smarter decisions across the board. Covering every investment vehicle—from stocks and options to crypto—this team makes the complex world of securities data simple, seamless, and scalable.
The Identity Trust team safeguards Wealthsimple's platform by managing user access and permissions. This includes verifying user identities, determining access privileges, and implementing any necessary additional verification steps. They ensure only authorized users can access the platform and perform permitted actions. This team plays a crucial role in maintaining the security and integrity of Wealthsimple's services.
The Ledger team will spearhead the creation of our real-time ledger, a pivotal project aimed at transforming our financial transaction processing. This initiative involves building a system capable of ingesting high-volume, real-time data, ensuring accurate and immediate balance updates, and seamlessly integrating with our Cash app's transaction feed. The team will navigate complex challenges related to data integrity, system scalability, and real-time data processing. We need a leader who can effectively manage agile development processes, drive technical execution, and ensure alignment with our strategic business objectives, ultimately delivering a robust and reliable real-time ledger solution.
As the Software Development Manager for the Securities Team, you’ll be at the forefront of driving impact and innovation at Wealthsimple. In this role, you will:
Lead an exceptional team of software developers, inspiring a culture of collaboration, creativity, and high performance.
Forge strong partnerships with teams across the business—from product to operations—ensuring securities data empowers every corner of Wealthsimple.
Craft a visionary roadmap for scaling our securities systems, balancing long-term goals with the delivery of impactful new features.

Stay ahead of the curve, leveraging the latest technologies and staying attuned to market trends to keep Wealthsimple at the cutting edge.
Deliver meaningful results, making securities data a seamless and reliable foundation for our clients and internal stakeholders alike.
We’re looking for a leader who combines technical expertise with a passion for building great teams and scalable systems. The ideal candidate will have:
Proven leadership experience: A history of successfully managing and growing software development teams.
