ABOUT THE TEAM
Design is a strategic lever at Wealthsimple — we don’t just make things beautiful, we help shape what gets built. We're growing our Product Design team and hiring both Senior and Staff Product Designers across multiple product areas, including Investing, Banking, and more. Rather than filling a single role, we’re looking for outstanding designers who want to help us define the future of personal finance in Canada. When you apply, we’ll explore where your strengths, experience, and interests align best across our teams.
CURRENT OPEN ROLES
1. Staff Designer, AI Products

WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design thoughtful, high-impact product experiences that empower clients to make smarter financial decisions.
- Partner closely with product, engineering, content, and research throughout the entire product development process.

- Conduct research and use data to understand client needs, identify opportunities, and inform design decisions.
- Help evolve our design system and scale the product with consistency, craft, and intention.
- Raise the bar for quality and clarity — not just in your own work, but across the team.
SKILLS YOU BRING
- Experience designing for consumer-facing mobile apps (React Native, native iOS/Android).
- Strong UX and visual design skills, with the ability to turn complex problems into simple, elegant experiences.
- A user-first mindset and a strong product sense — you know when to sweat the details and when to move quickly.
- A collaborative approach and clear communication style.
- Experience working closely with product and engineering teams to ship real products.
- A passion for personal finance, and an interest in banking, investing, or financial planning tools.
- For Senior Designers: a track record of shipping high-quality, impactful work end-to-end.
- For Staff Designers: experience leading large initiatives, mentoring others, and driving design quality and strategy at a higher level.

Technology & Innovation at Wealthsimple: We move quickly and build thoughtfully. That means we're always looking for better ways to work — whether that's new tools, AI, or rethinking how we approach a problem. 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.
Inclusion Statement: We're building products for a diverse world, and we need a diverse team to do it well. We strongly encourage applications from everyone, regardless of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.

If you need any accommodations throughout the interview process, please let us know — we'll work with you to make sure you have what you need. We also welcome any feedback on how we can better accommodate candidates with accessibility needs.
AI in Hiring: We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of our hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses.
