Read our Culture Manual https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/culture and learn more about how we work https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/careers. ABOUT THE BUSINESS BANKING TEAM The Business Banking team is building the financial backbone for Canadian small businesses on Wealthsimple. We're taking the trusted, simple, and powerful experience our 3M+ clients love and extending it to entrepreneurs, founders, and operators who deserve better than the status quo of Canadian business banking. From multi-user account access to expense management to the payment rails that move money in and out of businesses every day, we own the products and infrastructure that make Wealthsimple a serious option for how businesses bank. Business banking is one of the most exciting growth bets at Wealthsimple. We're early enough that the technical and product decisions you make will shape the domain for years to come, and established enough that your work ships to real businesses on day one. Businesses come with their own set of complex rules, regulatory considerations, and operational realities and that complexity is exactly what makes the work rewarding. As a senior member of this team, you'll work across our stack to take features from 0 → 1 and then scale them from 1 → n, partner closely with teams across the Banking domain and the broader organization, and help shape what business banking at Wealthsimple looks like as we grow it into one of our flagship offerings. IN THIS ROLE YOU'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO: - Take ownership of a domain
