Role
Who you are
- Exceptional ability to program Excel/Google sheet formulas and familiarity with programming fundamentals. You should be ready and willing to poke around in and make tweaks to simple scripts and other code files
- 5+ years of experience with serious focus on content and/or copy in a cross-functional startup environment or similar
- A strong understanding of astronomy and astrology—or a willingness to learn
- Demonstrated ability to decompose complex problems into discrete components, accessible systems and procedures
- Capacity to develop and maintain systems that cross-functional team members can easily access and understand
- A deep curiosity about the human experience and astrology’s potential as a tool for understanding, connection, and intimacy
- Strong editorial instincts. You have previous experience editing copy for a brand
- A hawk’s eye for detail, but you can accept imperfection when the overarching structure demands it

- This full-time position reports directly to our Head of Content. It's a hybrid role, requiring a few days per week at our New York City headquarters in SoHo
Our take
Co-star is one of the most popular astrology apps in the world right now. Users input their time and place of birth, Co-star then uses AI to analyze data from NASA, providing a personalised daily horoscope for every user.
Powered by a balance of AI and human focused astrology, as well as a clean user experience, the Co-Star app’s popularity has surged. It has over 30 million registered accounts, and around 25% of all young women aged 18-25 in the US have used it. Remarkably, the company claimed to have not put any real marketing effort into this huge uptick.
Whether or not the field remains so popular over the next few years remains to be seen, but the fact that Co-Star has developed a new astrology machine that uses ChatGPT to answer users' questions shows its well set to draw further interest in the company.
