Canopy Careers

Senior Engineer

The Company

Canopy Sleep is creating a more well rested world with a four-poster canopy bed surrounded by blackout curtains that creates the ideal sleeping environment with light, air temperature, and sound control.  Users can select from nature-inspired sleep settings, set their routine, and optional meditations using our connected app.

With increased attention on sleep as a foundation of wellness and 1-in-3 Americans struggling with insomnia, we're building a sleep experience company to help people rediscover rest.

Working with award-winning furniture designers, and contractors and advisors with experience at MIRROR, Hydrow, Calm, and the UC-Berkeley Center for Human Sleep Science, we’ve bootstrapped our way to developing and delivering multiple paid prototypes to short-term rental properties across the United States.  We are currently raising our seed round and accepting limited additional pre-orders as we incorporate learnings from our prototypes into our software, hardware, and furniture design. 

 

The Role

We’re looking for a full-time Senior Engineer to serve as the company’s technical lead focused on Canopy Sleep’s web-based user application, cloud API, and IoT devices.  As part of the founding team, the Senior Engineer will work both independently and alongside contract electrical and hardware engineers, UX design, and mobile app developers to ensure a seamless end-to-end sleep experience.

The role will initially involve maintaining our current prototypes and developing features to enhance the product’s functionality, reliability and usability.  You’ll also maintain rigorous testing, monitoring, and deployment architecture to support continuous integration across IoT devices in production and testing.  The ideal candidate will bring a passion for early-stage building, creative problem solving and experimentation, and a customer-oriented mindset to the team on Canopy Sleep’s product-market-fit journey.

The remote position includes opportunities for significant equity and to create your own path as the company grows.

 

The Tech Stack

Our backend is built in Python (Flask).  We utilize AWS (Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, S3) and MongoDB for our main application and cloud API that communicates with hardware devices.  Our devices currently run Python on Linux (RaspberryPi), communicate with our main application via API, and utilize Docker for deployment.  Comfort with basic front end web is helpful.
