Role
Who you are

- Strong Node.js skills, including asynchronous programming
- Experience building or maintaining scraping systems using headless browsers
- Comfort working in environments where third-party interfaces change often
- Understanding of authentication flows, MFA challenges, cookies, sessions, and rate limits
- Experience parsing complex financial data such as balances, transactions, holdings, and corporate-action adjustments
- Interest in building automation that reduces manual scraping and repair work
- Clear, steady communication with technical and non-technical teams
- Not afraid of support work investigating and debugging broken integrations

What the job involves

- The work includes scraping, API integrations, resilient pipeline design, and the automation of these systems so we enhance reliability, and move faster with each new institution
- Build and maintain connections to banks and brokerages in Canada through scraping, custom flows, and direct APIs
- Develop tools that make data acquisition more reliable and easier to scale
- Use AI-assisted systems to reduce manual scraping work and help the team react faster to interface changes
- Design systems that recover quickly when institutions change their login flows or layouts
- Work with product, security, infrastructure, and SRE teams to deliver accurate balances, holdings, and transactions to clients
- Improve our internal automation so adding and repairing institutions becomes faster over time
- Our technologies:
- Node.js and MongoDB services for scraping and acquisition
- Headless browsers, proxy systems, and session-management tools
- Ruby, Java/Kotlin, and Python across the broader platform
- AWS Infra
- Strong encryption and security practices for sensitive data
- Early AI-assisted automation that helps generate, maintain, and repair extraction logic
Our take
Wealthsimple is one of a crop of robo-advisors trying to democratise investment management. These companies are disrupting the industry by automating many of the processes involved in investment, removing the need for human advisors.
But while other so-called robo-advisors are focused on courting the high end of the market, Wealthsimple is trying to provide the same types of tools and advice to all users, regardless of the amount they have to invest.
Wealthsimple does have higher fees than some other robo-advisors such as Betterment and Charles Schwab. However, the company believes that it provides a more user-friendly platform, tailored to millennials who will be attracted to Wealthsimple due to its ease of use and social impact offerings.
