About Canopy

At Canopy, we build technology that helps make healthcare environments safer for the people delivering care. Our connected safety platform powers real-time communication, response coordination, and location intelligence across hospitals and complex care environments.

We operate in high-trust, high-reliability environments where software quality, operational resilience, and customer experience matter deeply. Our engineering organization is scaling alongside our growth, and we are looking for a Staff Software Engineer who can help shape both our technical direction and the way we build.

This is not simply a feature delivery role. This is a systems-thinking role for an experienced engineer who can drive architecture, influence engineering standards, and help scale a platform, organization, and culture simultaneously.

The Role

Canopy is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to develop our next-generation sensing data pipeline — building the “physical full stack” from firmware and edge algorithms to the backend and frontend services that power them.

You will bridge physical hardware and cloud systems, applying physics-based modeling to solve complex sensing challenges at scale that are not possible with traditional products. This is a unique role within Canopy to translate hardware schematics and firmware design into products that work in harsh environments and result in life-saving outcomes.

We care deeply about building highly automated development environments that accelerate our prototyping and verification cycles, ensuring our mission-critical systems are built faster, safer, and with greater precision.

How to you will make 10X impact:

• Drive the development of next-generation hardware that will be in the hands of millions of healthcare professionals
• Design and implement robust firmware across Canopy devices; build and maintain a powerful HIL automation platform to accelerate development and enforce system safety
• Apply signal processing and machine learning for on-device algorithms, cloud pipelines, and field-ops tools
• Collaborate across hardware product and software teams to launch production-grade sensing devices at scale
• Apply systems-level design intuition to compute layers power management and communication protocols
• Engineer industrial-grade fault-tolerant designs to ensure reliability during unexpected power events

We’re excited about you because:

• You enjoy building, and thrive in teams that care a lot about people.
