Lead Software Engineer

Capsure is an AI-powered compliance platform focused on the clean energy industry. The Lead Software Engineer will be the first engineering hire, responsible for making architectural decisions, owning the codebase, and building AI-powered workflows to enhance the compliance engine.

Responsibilities:

• Own the Product Engineering
• Architect, build, and ship full-stack features across our React/TypeScript frontend and Supabase/PostgreSQL backend
• Write production-quality code while moving at startup speed, using AI coding tools to dramatically compress the time between idea and shipped feature
• Make and defend architectural decisions: data modeling, API design, security, performance, scalability
• Maintain code quality, testing standards, and documentation without being told to
• Design and implement AI agents and multi-step automation pipelines that power our compliance engine: document ingestion, payroll validation, issue detection, remediation workflows
• Work with LLMs (currently Google Gemini and Claude) to build intelligent extraction, classification, and validation systems
• Build robust, observable, production-grade AI workflows with proper error handling, retry logic, audit trails, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints
• Stay current on the evolving AI engineering landscape and bring in the right tools as they mature
• Establish patterns and practices that will scale as we grow the team
• Own security rigorously: data handling (PII, SSNs, payroll data), authentication, authorization, and audit logging are core to our value proposition
• Instrument the system: logging, monitoring, error tracking, performance
• Eventually recruit, mentor, and lead additional engineers as the team grows
