About the Team
Wealthsimple needs to be reliable. Our clients literally trust us with their life savings and we are a crucial, high-trust part of their complete financial picture. Our clients have also come to expect new, delightful features and products to be introduced to the Wealthsimple ecosystem regularly. Striking the balance of forward development and reliability is where the Reliability Engineering team specializes.
We empower all service owners to get new features and products into the hands of clients while ensuring that those products are reliable and performant. This role has as much technical influence as cultural influence within our Engineering organization. We only add as much process as is necessary (and never more) and provide developer solutions that augment all Engineering teams within Wealthsimple.
We are part of the Developer Platform Engineering organization and we deliver valuable solutions to other development teams within Wealthsimple.
Role Responsibilities:
- We ensure that all development teams are well supported from a reliability perspective through tooling, process, automation, and culture.
- While many of our responsibilities define best practices, we aim to embed knowledge, skills, and approaches within all teams. We use leverage and guardrails to help teams deliver reliable products to Wealthsimple clients.
- We define and automate our incident response process and standardize our company-wide approach to handling incidents.
- We provide tooling and support for measuring reliability to teams using Service Level Objectives (SLOs), monitoring, and alerting.
- We proactively strengthen our overall platform using conditioning exercises like load testing, failure injection, chaos engineering, and experiments.
- We interface with product teams, infrastructure teams, and developer tooling teams to ensure everyone prioritizes reliability.
- We spend time exploring problem areas to develop opinions. We are informed by product teams and we deliver tools and automation back to those teams in order to make reliability everyone’s concern.
Skills You Bring:
- You have some experience developing software in any language.
- You are able to clearly and effectively communicate internally and explain technical decisions and trade-offs.
- You have some experience building, evolving, and maintaining large, reliable, and scalable systems.
- You embrace mentorship both as a mentor and a mentee. You have a strong willingness to learn.
- You enjoy digging into hard-to-solve problems throughout the stack. You are curious and thrive on learning.
Nice to Haves:
- Hands-on experience managing technological incidents and/or service disruptions.
- Some experience in site reliability engineering (SRE) and basic reliability concepts.
- Exposure to load testing, stress testing, and performance testing.
- Knowledge or experience with chaos engineering
