Description
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 $50 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.

About the Order Execution team

Buying or selling a stock is a flagship part of the Wealthsimple product – and is a key opportunity to raise the bar on our client experience. Within this, the Order Execution team is responsible for delivering a fast and streamlined trading experience that supports our clients. We do this by:

- Ensuring orders are sent to the market accurately, on time, and reliably. 
- Serving as the single source of truth for real-time FX rates, which is crucial for clients who purchase US securities or convert cash between currencies.
- Building APIs that communicate key pieces of information to front-end systems.

As our products become more sophisticated and our client base grows, we strive to ensure our order execution systems scale and adapt appropriately.

About the role:

As a Backend Engineer on the Order Execution team, you’ll own projects through to completion, partnering deeply with a cross-functional team to create a highly performant, business critical client experience. You’ll work with a small team which has a huge focus on learning and development, shared knowledge and collaboration. As part of your role, you’ll learn the ins and outs of trading, and be a huge part in providing a reliable service during market opening, which is 9:30AM EST every weekday. We’re reimagining the way trading is done in Canada, and joining the Order Execution team and delivering fault-tolerant code continues us living that mission!

  • Improve the development process for our engineering teams by keeping on top of industry trends and implementing new tools and best practices.
  • Participate in our hiring process and shape the growth and culture of the Engineering team.

What you bring:

  • Deep experience with relational databases, including performance tuning
  • A deep understanding and coding execution on complex projects at scale
