About the role

  • As a Staff Software Engineer, you will serve as a senior technical leader across multiple product and platform initiatives.
  • You will operate horizontally across teams - helping define architecture, improve engineering velocity, raise quality standards, and mentor engineers through influence rather than direct management.
  • The ideal candidate combines deep technical judgment with pragmatism, strong execution instincts, and the ability to simplify complexity in fast-moving environments.

Responsibilities

  • You will partner closely with Product, Design, Infrastructure, and Engineering leadership to design and evolve systems that are reliable, scalable, and maintainable as Canopy grows.
  • Lead the design and evolution of scalable full-stack systems across frontend applications, backend services, APIs, and platform infrastructure
  • Drive architectural decisions that improve reliability, maintainability, performance, and developer velocity
  • Build backend systems and APIs using Node.js and distributed service architectures
  • Collaborate closely with Product and Design to translate ambiguous requirements into elegant technical solutions
  • Facilitate technical discussions and drive alignment across teams with differing priorities
  • Champion engineering quality through code reviews, design reviews, and operational rigor

Requirements

  • Strong expertise in modern full-stack application development
  • Deep proficiency with JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems, including React and/or Vue.js and Node.js
  • Experience designing distributed systems, APIs, and service-oriented architectures
  • Strong experience with cloud-native infrastructure and Kubernetes in production environments
  • Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases
  • Proven ability to influence technical direction without formal authority
  • Experience scaling SaaS platforms through periods of rapid growth
  • Experience improving engineering operational maturity in growing organizations

Skills

  • Contribute to scaling Canopy's cloud-native infrastructure and Kubernetes-based platform

Compensation

  • Care deeply about the customer and mission
  • Act with intention and intellectual curiosity
  • Own outcomes, not just tasks
  • Win together through collaboration and trust
  • Influence architecture and engineering direction at a critical stage of company growth
  • Operate with high autonomy and meaningful ownership

Benefits

  • Design and build modern web applications and services powering mission-critical healthcare workflows
  • Work on technology with real-world impact in healthcare environments
