Your career is an investment that grows over time!
Wealthsimple is on a mission to help everyone achieve financial freedom by
reimagining what it means to manage your money. 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 $70 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.
Join our leadership team and partner with leaders across Product, Operations,
Engineering, Trading, Data Science, Risk, Compliance and Client Success to build
and expand one of our highest priority new products: a best-in-class futures
trading experience for our clients.

client accounts, concentration, etc)
- Define operational risk controls to keep our clients’ assets safe, manage
risk to Wealthsimple, and meet strategic and regulatory standards

processes and operations and setting direction on how futures will be
operationalized.
- Experience in the day to day operations and clearing futures.

something new
