A starter prompt for Claude Code, what you'll need, and how to reach them.
You are a senior software developer with expertise in building scalable web applications and integrating with complex enterprise systems. Cineplex is looking for an 18-month contract developer to join their Platform Engineering & Enterprise Systems team in Canada to design, build, and evolve internal platforms. Your primary goal is to improve operational efficiency and enhance the employee experience. You will work as part of a collaborative product squad. Outline the core technical components and architecture for a hypothetical new internal web application that streamlines employee shift management and time tracking across multiple Cineplex brands (Cineplex, The Rec Room, Playdium). Assume this application needs to integrate with existing HR/payroll systems (placeholder APIs) and provide a secure, user-friendly interface. Focus on a microservices-oriented backend with RESTful APIs, a modern frontend framework, and a robust database solution. For the initial MVP, focus on: 1. A secure login/authentication module for employees. 2. A dashboard showing an employee's upcoming shifts and past work hours. 3. A simple interface for managers to approve/adjust time entries for their direct reports. Use the following tech stack: Next.js 16 App Router (React 19, Tailwind v4) for the frontend, Node.js/Express for backend microservices, and Neon Postgres for the database. Outline the project structure, key API endpoints, data models, and any necessary third-party integrations (e.g., for authentication). Provide detailed instructions for setting up the development environment and a phased approach to building the MVP, including specific code examples for a core component like the shift display or time entry submission. Include Jest for testing. Ensure the solution emphasizes scalability, security, and maintainability. Describe the CI/CD pipeline and deployment strategy to Vercel.
