Responsibilities

BUILD SOMETHING PEOPLE LOVE Wealthsimple's mission is to help everyone achieve financial freedom – by making financial services simple, transparent, and low-cost.
- 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.
- Own key risk metrics - fraud loss rates, false positive rates, investigation cycle times, decision latency - and use data to drive prioritization.

experience with significant depth in fraud, risk, or trust & safety - you've built fraud prevention systems, investigation tooling, or risk decisioning platforms and understand the cat-and-mouse dynamics of financial fraud. -
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.
You think in APIs, schemas, and extensibility. - Strong technical fluency: you can go deep on streaming architectures, workflow orchestration, and ML model integration.
Experience working with fraud operations teams: you understand investigation workflows, alert triage, case management, and the tooling that makes analysts productive.
The best way to validate a fraud rule is to ship it, monitor it, and iterate. - Strong communication skills: you can translate complex risk and platform concepts for engineering, operations, compliance, and executive stakeholders. - Ability to work independently: biasing towards action to drive projects forward across a broad surface area.
That means we're always looking for better ways to work — whether that's new tools, AI, or rethinking how we approach a problem.
