Duets Network | Founding Engineer | REMOTE (US-Based Only) | Equity + discretionary cash | ~10–15 hrs/wk

Duets Network is an AI-powered platform connecting startups and investors across the sports and entertainment industries. We are building a dynamic ecosystem that bridges founders, capital, and strategic partners to drive meaningful growth and collaboration at the intersection of technology and culture.

The initial product is built out, and we're now looking for a fractional Founding Engineer to guide the technical side moving forward: architecture, infrastructure, data/recommendation systems, security, and scalability.

Our founding team: CEO, ex-Universal Music Group; CBO, ex-Andreessen Horowitz. You'd work directly with the founders, with no existing engineering org, and would:

- Assess and improve the existing React / Node.js / PostgreSQL / AWS codebase and infrastructure

- Set engineering architecture, standards, and technical priorities

- Design the data + recommendation/scoring layer behind founder/investor/partner matching

- Build out DevOps, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment processes

- Make pragmatic build-vs-buy decisions and coordinate external engineers/vendors as needed

- Serve as the primary technical team member, with real influence over the technology foundation and future engineering org

We're particularly interested in someone who has owned architecture end-to-end. Ideally with experience in matching, recommendation, ranking, or scoring systems. You should be comfortable explaining technical tradeoffs to non-technical founders and investors.

This is a fractional role (~10–15 hrs/wk), compensated with equity plus discretionary cash. It's a fit if you want the opportunity to be an early technical team member without a traditional full-time commitment. We're early-stage and moving fast, so you don't need to check every box, we're looking for someone curious, adaptable, and excited to build with us.

If interested, email team[at]duets[dot]network[dot]com with "Founding Engineer" in the subject line.

Windows

Each story opens in a window holding its article above its discussion; drag the bar between them to share the room differently. A window can be moved by its title bar, resized from any edge, snapped to a half or a corner by dragging it there, maximised, or minimised to the bar at the foot of the page. Use Window > New reader window to open an empty reader, or a story row's Open in new reader window button to compare articles. Docked readers keep their articles when you select another story from the sidebar. Minimized readers can be restored and reused for their site. A window's Next story link reads on down the list in the same window.

A link in a comment or an article to another Hacker News or Lobsters thread opens that thread in a window too. A link to a single HN comment opens the comment above its replies.

While a story's window is in front, the Story and Discussion menus in the menu bar hold its commands: pinning, Next story, sorting, collapsing every thread, jumping to the first new comment. Each window also remembers where you were in its article and discussion, so a reload, or Back to a story that Next took you past, finds your place again. Closing a window forgets it.

The whole arrangement lives in the address, so a bookmark or a shared link brings it back, and Back undoes the last change. Moving between Hacker News, Lobsters, their lists, Pinned and Find changes only the list, and leaves the windows open.

The list

The pin at the start of a row keeps the story in Pinned, and the cross at its end hides it. Pinned can be narrowed by words in the title, site or author, by source, and to the stories you haven't opened yet, and ordered by when you pinned them, by points or by comments; the filters are part of the address, so a filtered view can be bookmarked. Scroll past the end of the list to load more. Domain filters, in the View menu, hide every story from a site.

Browsing view

View > Windowed and View > Classic select the browsing view and save your default in this browser. Window view reuses a reader for each feed. Classic view opens stories and applets as pages. Open as a page and Open in a window are one-off actions that do not change your saved default. Direct page links always open as pages.

Applets

The Applets menu in the menu bar holds three tools, each a window of its own. Replies to me takes your Hacker News user name and lists the replies to your last thirty comments and stories, checking again every three minutes while it is open, and marking what is new since you last marked them read. Look up a user opens a profile on Hacker News or Lobsters, with their submissions and recent comments, as a commenter's name in any discussion does; the bar at the top of a profile looks up someone else in the same window, and Back returns to the one before. Who is hiring? filters the posts of HN's monthly hiring threads by the words you type.

They read only what the sites publish to everyone, so none of them asks for a login, and your user name stays in this browser.

Find

Find takes any link and lists every time it was submitted to Hacker News and Lobsters, so you can read each discussion of it.

About

YAVCHN never sees your Hacker News or Lobsters login. The discussion is fetched from each site's public API; to vote or reply, follow the link above the discussion, or the arrow beside a comment, to the source's own site. Pins, hidden stories, filters and layout are kept in this browser only.
