Key responsibilities

Lead technical projects from design through launch and ongoing iteration for products including performance cycles, compensation planning, talent reviews, total rewards statements, and self-service tools.
Design and build scalable architectures that integrate with internal systems such as Workday and Ashby, and with the people data platform that manages company-wide review and compensation cycles.
Architect systems with security as a foundational concern, including role-based access control, protection of sensitive compensation and performance data, and comprehensive audit logging.
Collaborate directly with Total Rewards, HR business partners, Talent Management, and People Operations teams to understand program requirements and deliver products that serve both managers and employees.
Incorporate AI into your design, build, and testing workflows to help the team adopt effective practices and accelerate delivery.
Elevate team standards through design reviews, code review, documentation, and mentorship of other engineers.

Requirements

Five or more years of professional software development experience, with demonstrated success building internal tools and production systems that teams depend on.
Full-stack web application development experience with depth in at least one of Ruby, Python, TypeScript, or Kotlin, and proficiency with modern frontend frameworks such as React.
Experience designing systems that handle sensitive data, including authentication, fine-grained authorization, and auditability requirements.
Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical stakeholders and exercise product judgment to simplify complex processes.
Track record of taking products from conception to launch, including making architectural decisions with incomplete information and revisiting them as you learn.
Self-directed approach to identifying and solving problems, with curiosity about how systems and processes work.

You’ll work with a growing People Intelligence team that’s establishing engineering standards for HR and people products. Wealthsimple offers comprehensive benefits including top-tier health coverage, 20 vacation days plus 4 wellness days and unlimited sick and mental health days, and the flexibility to work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year.
