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
