Senior Full Stack Engineer

About Us

Canopy is a fast-growing SaaS company in South Jordan, Utah building simple, powerful software for accounting firms. We're on a mission to help accountants build an autonomous firm—giving them back the time and tools they need to focus on what matters most: their clients. We believe the accounting industry deserves world-class software, and we're building exactly that. Our Practice Management Suite is purpose-built for firms that want to work smarter, grow faster, and deliver more value to the people they serve.

We place a strong emphasis on delighting our customers, spotting and solving problems, and being good people along the way.

About the Role

Canopy is hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help make our world-class practice management platform for accounting professionals even better. 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, letting our teams ship to production multiple times a day.

• Identify, prioritize, and resolve bugs and technical debt across the stack
• Share what you learn through mentoring, trainings, and interviewing future teammates

• 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

Nice to Have

• Proficiency with microservices architecture or micro-frontend infrastructure

• Hands-on experience building features that integrate LLMs or AI capabilities into a product
