Role

Who you are

You've spent the last decade designing software people love to use
You're comfortable moving between interaction design, visual design, and product thinking
You enjoy working closely with engineers
You agree that good work often emerges out of many rounds of iteration. You explore wildly, always ready to kill your darlings, and rework ideas until something clicks and feels correct
You'd rather prototype than make a presentation
Work > ego
We care much more about what you've made than where you've worked; if this sounds like you, apply even if you don't check every box

What the job involves

We're hiring a Senior Product Designer to continue cultivating those qualities across Co–Star and new experiments
You'll move between product architecture, interaction design, prototyping, and visual design. Ideas rarely arrive as polished specs. You'll help decide what we make next and how it works
Own major product surfaces end-to-end: concept, flows, interaction, visual polish, ship
Invent interaction paradigms for things that haven't existed before and moke those new paradigms legible and fun
Use research, experimentation, analytics, and user feedback to understand what people need and where products can improve
Prototype constantly, in Figma and in code — we expect tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and v0 to be part of your workflow
Partner directly with engineering and research, to refine interactions, iterate quickly, and ship high-quality work

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, and Co-star 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.
