About Wealthsimple

You’re a strong product thinker who can operate across platform infrastructure, external ecosystems and client experience. You likely have:

Responsibilities

• Drive the strategy and roadmap for Wealthsimple’s Public API and external data connectivity, ensuring safe and easy access to Wealthsimple financial data.
• A bias toward simplifying complicated systems rather than layering more complexity on top of them
• Enough technical depth to work closely with engineers on APIs, authentication, data models, routing and platform architecture
• Comfort treating reliability as product work — error taxonomies, failure recovery, observability, and the operational load a product creates
• The ability to turn a collection of technical capabilities into a clear product strategy and compelling long term vision, and to make the case for investing in it
• Experience weighing growth against fraud, risk and compliance, and holding both sides of that tradeoff
• Excellent cross functional leadership across Engineering, Design, Security, Legal, Compliance, Operations and external partners
• Strong analytical instincts and comfort using data to understand reliability, conversion, coverage and product performance, including building the measurement where it doesn’t exist yet
• Experience delivering through external vendors or partners whose roadmaps you don’t control, including making thoughtful build versus buy decisions and holding vendors accountable for product outcomes

Requirements

• Experience owning a platform, API, developer product or integrations platform, with a track record on metric-attached outcomes like conversion, success rate or reliability — not only feature delivery

Preferred

• A background in financial data aggregation, whether at an aggregator, a bank, or a fintech consuming one
• Experience shipping a public API or developer platform as a commercial product, including partner onboarding and support
• Experience with open banking, Canada’s consumer-driven banking framework, or building to a data sharing standard
