Location: Remote / Canada

Salary: CAD $151,200 - $189,000

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain high-quality analytical data models that support core brokerage and ledger workflows.
• Own critical datasets that power client-facing metrics, operational decision-making, and regulatory reporting.
• Work with large, complex, and often imperfect data sources, making trade-offs explicit and outcomes reliable.
• Partner closely with product managers, engineers, operations, finance, compliance, and CX teams to understand stakeholder needs and translate them into durable data solutions.
• Take a product-minded approach to analytics: designing datasets for clarity, usability, and long-term maintainability, not just correctness.
• Establish and uphold standards for data quality, testing, documentation, and observability.
• Use automation and modern tooling to reduce manual work and increase confidence in outputs.
• Apply AI-assisted workflows thoughtfully to improve speed, quality, or insight generation, and clearly articulate where and why they add value.
• Mentor and support other analytics developers through design reviews, code reviews, and informal coaching.
• Communicate complex data concepts clearly, helping partners understand not just what the data says, but how to use it.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience working with large, complex analytical datasets in a production environment.
• Strong SQL skills and experience building analytical models or data marts that are consumed by others.
• Product-oriented mindset with a focus on data usability, consistency, and long-term ownership.
• Experience collaborating with non-technical stakeholders and translating ambiguous questions into concrete analytical work.
• Familiarity with modern analytics tooling such as dbt, Airflow, Python, and cloud data warehouses (e.g. Redshift, Snowflake). Deep expertise in every tool is not required.
• Experience applying AI tools or techniques to analytics or data engineering workflows, with the ability to explain the impact clearly.
• Comfort working in regulated or high-stakes environments where correctness, auditability, and trust matter.
• Experience in financial services, trading, or accounting is a plus, but not a requirement.

• Long-term group savings with employer match using Wealthsimple for Business platform
• 20 vacation days + 4 wellness days per year, and unlimited sick and mental health days
