Job Title: Staff Software Engineer

Company: Canopy, Inc.

Location: New York City Tri-State Area

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

As a Staff Software Engineer,  you will serve as a senior technical leader across multiple product and platform initiatives. 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.

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.

What You’ll Own

Technical Leadership & Architecture

• 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
• Identify and address technical debt, scalability bottlenecks, and operational risks before they become business constraints
• Establish and reinforce engineering best practices around observability, testing, security, resiliency, and deployment workflows
• Contribute meaningfully to long-term platform and technical strategy

Full-Stack Product Development

• Design and build modern web applications and services powering mission-critical healthcare workflows
• Develop highly performant frontend experiences using modern frameworks such as React or Vue
