Wealthsimple is seeking experienced Canadian leaders abroad in Engineering, Product & Design, Data & Machine Learning, Finance & Strategy, and Leadership roles to help build impactful financial tools in Canada.
Hey Canadian leaders abroad…it’s time
You’ve built remarkable things. Led AI teams in San Francisco, scaled fintechs in New York, designed next-gen platforms in Boston. But what if the next big thing isn’t there - it’s here? At Wealthsimple, we’re on a mission to help millions of people achieve financial freedom through simple, powerful, and accessible tools. We're building one of the most ambitious and meaningful tech companies in Canada, and we’re looking for world-class Canadian talent to come home and help us build what’s next.
Change the game, for Canada
Canada has urgent problems to solve, and real momentum. The work is complex, the scale is real and the impact will be felt by millions of people everyday - your family members, friends, and even your kindergarten teacher. Canada is at a turning point. We’re seeing real momentum in our tech ecosystem, and we need experienced leaders who know how to build at scale. It’s more than just a job. It’s about joining a mission: building products that empower millions of people and creating pathways to financial freedom.
Who we're looking for:
- Engineering (AI, infrastructure, backend, frontend, mobile)
- Product & Design (Platform design, fintech innovation, user-centric systems)
- Data & Machine Learning (ML engineers, data scientists, real-time analytics)
- Finance & Strategy (Investor relations, strategic finance, capital markets)
- Leadership roles (VP and Director level across R&D, Product, Strategy, and Ops)
Whether you’re a technical trailblazer, a product visionary, or a builder of high-performance teams, if you’ve led at the frontier and want to make a dent in Canada, we want to talk.
What happens next:
1. Submit your resume and a few quick answers. This helps us connect you with the right people.
2. We’ll reach out. Not with a bot, but a real human from Wealthsimple.
3. We’ll set up a casual chat. Think of it as a human conversation, not a formal interview.
4. If there’s a fit, we’ll introduce you to a senior leader from our team.
5. Once everything aligns, congratulations. You’re coming home to build.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
