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 leading that transition. The best engineers in the next decade will not write the most code, they will shape systems using AI leverage.
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:
Ship high-leverage experiments (retention, monetization, community quality)
Improve cost–latency–correctness trade-offs across services
Aggressively use modern AI development tools (Claude, GPT, Cursor, etc.) to refactor, simplify, and improve the platform.
Develop the instincts for building and evolving systems in the AI-first era on a real production system.
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
Few engineers get to both operate a real system at scale and design a new one from scratch. This role offers both.
