Job Description

Senior Analytics Developer, People Analytics

Wealthsimple

• Design and build the data pipelines and transformation models that move raw data from source systems into a centralized data warehouse. • Drive the creation of a canonical employee record with a stable, consistent identifier that survives job changes, rehires, and system migrations. • Own the semantic layer for people metrics: define, document, and maintain agreed-upon definitions for core measures so that HR, Finance, and leadership are always working from the same numbers. • Bridge the gap between raw sources and business value. Ensure that data models are not just technically sound, but are purposefully built to answer the specific strategic questions for Wealthsimple. • Build slowly-changing dimension patterns and dated workforce snapshots that enable accurate point-in-time analysis. • Establish data governance practices that belong in a people analytics function. • Partner with HR business partners, Finance, and People Operations leaders to translate business questions into well-structured data models and durable analytical solutions. • Use AI tools to accelerate your work, drafting pipeline code, generating documentation, stress-testing metric logic, and turning technical findings into clear communication for non-technical partners.

Job Requirements

  • Python for pipeline orchestration, data transformation, and scripting
  • Experience with dimensional modelling, SCD types 1/2/3, and snapshot patterns.
  • Hands-on experience with dbt or equivalent, including testing documentations and incremental loading patterns.
  • Pipeline orchestration using Airflow, Prefect, or similar.
  • Familiarity with cloud data warehousing (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift)
  • Advanced SQL, including window functions, CTEs, date spine logic.
  • HR data literacy: employee lifecycle events, job hierarchies, headcount types, and compensation structures
  • Experience extracting data from various data platforms such as Workday, Ashby, or Greenhouse.
  • Version control in Git as standard practice.

Benefits

  • Top-tier health benefits and life insurance
  • Long-term group savings with employer match, through Wealthsimple for Business
  • 20 vacation days, 4 wellness days, and unlimited sick and mental health days per year
  • 90 days away: work outside Canada for up to 90 days per year
  • Employee resource groups, including Rainbow (2SLGBTQ), Women of WS, and Black at WS
