Context

FrontPage is a financial markets community platform with ~1.5L DAU / 6L MAU, profitable with real subscription + ad revenue.
It includes: Community systems, Real-time market data ingestion, Trading simulation, Mobile + web clients, Cloud infrastructure handling live user and market load. The system is stable, revenue-backed, and battle-tested under live market load.
We are now entering an AI-first phase - using modern AI tooling to modernize, simplify, and expand the platform’s technical surface area.
This role is about owning that transition.

Scope of Ownership

Stage 1: Platform Ownership

You fully own the technical health of FrontPage.

Understand the architecture end-to-end
Own reliability, performance, and correctness
Handle incidents decisively (detect → fix → prevent recurrence)
Maintain observability (metrics, logs, traces that actually help)
Reduce hidden fragility and bus factor
Authority to simplify, refactor, or redesign systems where necessary

Ownership here is about clarity and control - not maintenance.

Stage 2: AI-Driven Platform Expansion

We believe engineering leverage has changed. You will:

Use modern AI development tools aggressively to refactor, simplify, and improve the existing platform
Improve cost–latency–correctness trade-offs across services
Ship high-leverage experiments (retention, monetization, community quality)

Not about bolting more features onto the product using AI. More about growing and evolving into next era of product and engineering.

Stage 3: Building What Comes Next

Alongside FrontPage, we are incubating a new venture - an AI-first product in the personal finance domain. After demonstrating platform ownership and technical judgment, you will have the opportunity to:

Contribute architecturally to this new product
Design core systems from first principles
Influence foundational technical decisions in a 0→1 environment
Shape how AI-native systems are built from the ground up

Equity participation reflects this expanded scope and long-term contribution.

What You’ll Actually Work With

Real-time data ingestion systems
Backend services (Node / Python or equivalent)
PostgreSQL (performance, correctness, schema design)
Redis / caching / pub-sub patterns
Cloud infrastructure (Azure / GCP / AWS)
CI/CD and deployment pipelines
Mobile and web API support

Who This Role Is For

Owned production systems before. Care about clean architecture and long-term simplicity
Think in systems: data flow, latency, failure modes
Actively use modern AI dev tools and follow AI engineering developments

This role suits someone who wants to own an entire live platform, not contribute isolated features.

Who This Role Is NOT For

Avoids production ownership
Prefers tightly scoped tickets over system-level thinking
Wants a pure greenfield build with no existing constraints

Why This Is Interesting

You inherit a live, profitable, revenue-generating system with real scale.
You define how it evolves in an AI-first era
You operate close to real users and real markets
You work directly with the founder with high autonomy

If you want full-stack ownership in a high-accountability environment, and believe AI changes how serious systems are built, this role is designed for you.
