Our connected safety platform powers real-time communication, response coordination, and location intelligence across hospitals and complex care environments.\nWe 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.\nThis 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.\nThe Role\nCanopy 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.\nYou 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.\nWe 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.\nHow to you will make 10X impact:\nDrive the development of next-generation hardware that will be in the hands of millions of healthcare professionals\nDesign and implement robust firmware across Canopy devices; build and maintain a powerful HIL automation platform to accelerate development and enforce system safety\nApply signal processing and machine learning for on-device algorithms, cloud pipelines, and field-ops tools\nCollaborate across hardware product and software teams to launch production-grade sensing devices at scale\nApply systems-level design intuition to compute layers power management and communication protocols\nEngineer industrial-grade fault-tolerant designs to ensure reliability during unexpected power events\nWe’re excited about you because:\nYou enjoy building, and thrive in teams that care a lot about people.\nDeep proficiency in Rust, C, C++, Python with practical experience in RTOS (Real-Time Operation System) (e.g., Zephyr, FreeRTOS) and Embedded Linux (e.g., Yocto, Buildroot).\nIntuitive grasp of digital electronics, board-level bring-up/validation/debugging, BSP (Board Support Package) and peripheral communication (SPI, I2C, UART, and interrupt-driven design).\nAbility to troubleshoot complex systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and diagnostic tools at the hardware/software boundary.\nExperience building deterministic, timing-sensitive firmware that integrates effectively with cloud-native data pipelines.\nFind extraordinarily creative ways to amass training data quickly to develop production-grade algorithms.\nBachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.\nIt’d be great if you also had these:\nExperience in applied signal processing, machine learning\nExperience in healthcare, GIS, safety-critical, or high-availability environments\nExperience scaling SaaS platforms through periods of rapid growth\nFamiliarity with event-driven architectures, real-time systems, or location-aware platforms\nFamiliarity or interest in contributing to…\nDistributed systems, APIs, and service-oriented architectures\nModern full-stack application development\nDevOps, SRE, or platform engineering practices\nHow We Work\nAt Canopy, strong engineers do more than write code. We value people who:\nCare deeply about the customer and mission\nAct with intention and intellectual curiosity\nOwn outcomes, not just tasks\nWin together through collaboration and trust\nWe are building an engineering culture that prioritizes high standards, thoughtful execution, and continuous improvement - without ego or heroics.\nWhy Join Canopy\nWork on technology with real-world impact in healthcare environments\nInfluence architecture and engineering direction at a critical stage of company growth\nOperate with high autonomy and meaningful ownership\nCollaborate with a mission-driven, highly capable team\nHelp shape how a scaling engineering organization operates\nCanopy is an equal opportunity employer committed to building diverse teams and an inclusive environment for all employees.\nIf you're excited about the opportunity to work on groundbreaking projects, collaborate with a talented team, and make a positive impact on the lives of healthcare workers, we'd love to hear from you. Join us in making a difference, from anywhere in the world, and apply now!\nThe base salary range for this position is $200k - $225k per year, depending on location, experience and qualifications. Canopy is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5343,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Care","Hospitals & Health Systems"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-27T09:32:24Z"}],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.284,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":74,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:4","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-28T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":225000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/canopy-works-staff-software-engineer-sensing","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/canopy-works-staff-software-engineer-sensing.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T05:51:31Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4069,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":931,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
