CivTiq is a startup building white-label, enterprise-grade reporting infrastructure for municipal governments, focusing on Canadian data residency and compliance. They are hiring a Lead SWE with significant experience in multi-tenant cloud architecture and regulated environments. The role involves technical leadership, architectural decisions, compliance framework buildout, and potentially AI code review.
A starter prompt for Claude Code, what you'll need, and how to reach them.
You are an expert full-stack developer. Build an MVP for a white-label, multi-tenant reporting infrastructure suitable for a small Canadian municipal government. Focus on a secure, compliant core that demonstrates Canadian data residency. The stack should be Next.js 16 App Router (React 19), Tailwind v4, AI SDK v6 with Gemini for any data processing/summarization, and Neon Postgres on Vercel. MVP Slice: Implement a single-tenant instance that allows an authenticated municipal user to upload a CSV file (e.g., public works data), view a simple dashboard with aggregated data (e.g., total work orders, average completion time), and generate a basic PDF report of this data. Ensure user authentication (e.g., using Clerk or Auth.js), secure data storage in Postgres with tenant isolation, and a clear path for white-label branding. The primary focus is on demonstrating data residency in Canada and a compliance-minded architecture (though full certification isn't needed for the MVP). Use a placeholder for Canadian data residency (e.g., a note in the architecture diagram). Build/Verify Gate: A deployed application on Vercel where I can log in as an admin, upload a sample CSV, see it reflected in a basic dashboard, and generate a simple PDF report. Include an architectural overview highlighting multi-tenancy and data residency considerations.
