About the Domain - Clients & Accounts Platform

The Clients & Accounts domain at Wealthsimple oversees the broad and important mandate of growing our client base. We acquire and guide clients through their onboarding journey so that they can seamlessly open and fund their accounts — most often we do this with no human intervention and in hours not days! To accomplish this, we’ve built industry-leading technology focused on automation and integrate various third-party technologies to verify client identities and link bank accounts. We’re also highly data-backed and execute experiments and features to reduce friction in our user experience — helping new clients onboard easier, and existing clients adopt additional Wealthsimple products and refer others.

About the Team - Clients & Accounts Enablement

The Engineering Enablement team is a vital internal function within this domain, focused on accelerating the delivery and enhancing the reliability of all other Clients & Accounts engineering teams. The team’s core mandate is to drive the department’s operational excellence, improve developer tooling, system reliability, scalability, quality, and monitoring. This team increases the velocity of the department so that we can ship code faster and more confidently, reduce the maintenance cost of our systems, function as a liaison to our Infrastructure Platform (Infraplat) department, and improve system observability and operational processes.

• Demonstrated experience in people management, including hiring, mentoring, performance management, and career development.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with Product, Design, and other cross-functional stakeholders.
