About the role

  • The Financial Risk team is responsible for protecting Wealthsimple and its clients from fraud while enabling safe, fast, and scalable money movement.
  • Our systems are the infrastructure layer that payment and money movement teams plug into to move money safely.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the roadmap for the Decision Platform, our real-time rules engine that evaluates fraud risk across withdrawals, deposits, e-transfers, crypto transactions, and cheque deposits.
  • Build and improve fraud investigation tooling and automations - including case management workflows, alert deduplication, and enrichment pipelines - that help our fraud operations team investigate and resolve cases faster.
  • Partner deeply with Fraud and Data Science teams on fraud model integration, fraud rule development, and the feedback loops that improve detection accuracy over time.
  • Own key risk metrics - fraud loss rates, false positive rates, investigation cycle times, decision latency - and use data to drive prioritization.
  • Break down complex, behind-the-scenes infrastructure projects into discrete phases that deliver value incrementally - this is platform work where the "client" is often another engineering team.
  • A shipping mentality: we don't believe in spending forever analyzing and debating. The best way to validate a fraud rule is to ship it, monitor it, and iterate.
  • Ability to work independently: biasing towards action to drive projects forward across a broad surface area.
  • The people are one of the best parts of working here: you'll collaborate with incredibly talented, curious, and driven teammates who are deeply committed to doing great work.
  • Technology & Innovation at Wealthsimple: We move quickly and build thoughtfully.
  • We don't expect you to have all the answers, but we do expect curiosity and a willingness to evolve alongside the products we're building.

Requirements

  • Experience operating as a platform PM: you've built systems that other teams consume, and you know how to balance internal developer experience with business outcomes.
  • Strong technical fluency: you can go deep on streaming architectures, workflow orchestration, and ML model integration.
  • Strong communication skills: you can translate complex risk and platform concepts for engineering, operations, compliance, and executive stakeholders.
