[Hiring] Senior Full Stack Engineer @Canopy

Role Description

Canopy is hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help enhance our world-class practice management platform for accounting professionals. You'll work on a highly collaborative squad alongside other engineers, a product manager, UX designer, and QA engineer, with the autonomy to research, hypothesize, build, test, and iterate on the best solutions for our customers. Our microservices backend and micro-frontend architecture support independent deployments, allowing our teams to ship to production multiple times a day.

This role is remote eligible for candidates who currently reside in Utah.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with your PM, UX designer, fellow engineers, QA, and customers to define and validate new features end-to-end.
• Build user-facing experiences in JavaScript/TypeScript and React that delight our customers.
• Design and implement REST API endpoints and microservices using Python with FastAPI or Java with Vert.x, backed by PostgreSQL.
• Write unit tests, participate in code reviews, and help maintain quality across the codebase.
• Own builds and deployments to staging and production using Docker, GitLab, and Kubernetes.
• Identify, prioritize, and resolve bugs and technical debt across the stack.
• Share what you learn through mentoring, trainings, and interviewing future teammates.
• Contribute to effective AI driven engineering tooling that improves quality and efficiency for every engineer.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional software development experience, with meaningful exposure to both frontend and backend work (we don't expect equal depth in both).
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript, with experience in React or a similar modern framework.
• Strong proficiency in at least one of the following backend languages (Python, Java, or Kotlin) and comfort with SQL and RESTful API design.
• Familiarity with modern tooling: TypeScript, Git, and testing frameworks for both front end and back end code.
• Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants like Claude Code or Cursor, an eagerness to adopt the latest advancements and best practices, and the judgment to steer AI toward high-quality code you fully understand and can stand behind.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate well with both technical and non-technical teammates.
• A passion for building scalable solutions that have real customer impact.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Proficiency with microservices architecture or micro-frontend infrastructure.
• Experience with observability tooling (logging, metrics, tracing).
• Hands-on experience building features that integrate LLMs or AI capabilities into a product.
