Clients & Accounts Platform (CAP) owns the core client and account models at the heart of our product — the foundation every other team builds on top of. We build the uncompromising, simple, fully digital in-app onboarding experience Wealthsimple is known for, guiding clients from sign-up through funded accounts in minutes, not days, and almost always with no human intervention. On the backend, our platform defines and enforces the compliance and product requirements every team relies on; on the frontend, we orchestrate the onboarding modules — KYC, identity verification, agreement signing, and more — that show up across nearly every Wealthsimple product.
We’re a full-stack team, and we’re both platform-facing (other engineering teams are our customers) and product-facing (clients are). Our services are critical tier — when they go down, most of Wealthsimple stops working — so we hold ourselves to five nines of uptime while still shipping and iterating at tech-company speed. It’s demanding work, and one of the highest-impact places to build at Wealthsimple.
We’re looking for a Senior Manager to lead Accounts Engineering, one of the teams inside CAP. Accounts Engineering builds new account types (Business Accounts, RESPs, and more), defines the core account configurations that unlock new product features, and evolves the account domain model that the rest of the company builds against. You’ll manage a team of roughly 8 full-stack developers.
This team moves fast. There is always more demand than capacity — no shortage of ideas, product asks, or backlog. Your job is to turn that pressure into a high-velocity, high-quality team that ships work the company can rely on for years.
