Senior Front End Software Developer, Wealthsimple

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping production-grade systems that real users depend on
• Strong frontend fundamentals with React and TypeScript, and ideally React Native — you build performant, reliable client experiences and understand how they behave under real-world conditions
• Native mobile experience (Swift/iOS or Kotlin/Android) is a strong plus, whether you've built native apps directly or directed and reviewed native work
• An AI-first development workflow that doesn't compromise on rigour — you've moved beyond AI as autocomplete into genuinely agentic workflows, and bring the judgment to know when the model is wrong, where the risks are, and what verification a change needs before it touches production
• Product judgment and a maker-owner mindset — you care about the client problem, simplify complexity, and want to own and grow a domain over time, not just ship the next ticket
• Technical leadership and strong communication — you raise the bar through your code, reviews, and design docs, navigate ambiguity, and bring others along with a collaborative, low-ego approach

• A slow screen or a mishandled order is felt immediately by our clients, so the bar for reliability, performance, and craft is high

• Own complex, end-to-end frontend projects across the trading experience - from technical design through implementation, launch, and iteration
• Build and improve the client-facing surfaces that power our order flow and trading products, with a focus on reliability, performance, and correctness
• Work on high-stakes client journeys: order entry and execution, options trading, real-time market data, and portfolio experiences across equities, options, and crypto
• Make thoughtful architectural decisions and help the team balance speed, quality, and scale — influence what we build, how we build it, and where we go next
• Partner closely with Product and Design to clarify goals, surface trade-offs, and deliver outcomes, not just features
• Build with the reliability and observability standards that trading journeys demand — clients notice the moment something is slow or wrong
• Leverage AI-centric workflows to ship faster and safer — we invest heavily in AI tooling and expect senior engineers to push the frontier of how we use these tools
• Raise the technical bar through design reviews, code reviews, documentation, pairing, and mentorship
