Co—Star Astrology | Software Developer | Full-time, On-site in Brooklyn, NY | https://www.costarastrology.com/

Co-Star is a mobile application combining traditional methods of astrology with NASA data and modern technology to create a branded, hyper-personalized and social astrology experience. Nearly half of millennials believe in astrology – and that number continues to rise as more people are searching for meaning, connection, and community across all aspects of their lives. Since launch in October 2017, Co-Star has grown incredibly quickly and was ranked in Apple's top 100 entertainment app weeks after launch. We are an early stage startup (we just raised a seed round of funding) looking to expand the team as we continue to gain traction and develop the app!

Some of the technologies we use include

  - Haskell (our whole web api is written in this!)
  - Swift 
  - Python (we use AWS Lambda to wrap python libraries we don’t want to port to Haskell) 
  - React + TypeScript
We are looking for a full stack developer who is familiar with at least one of Haskell, Swift, or AWS and is open to learning the others! We love types at Co—Star, and a passion for statically verifying code is definitely a plus! There are currently three of us (founders) working on this. You’ll be our first hire, so you’ll have a big say in what we do and how we do it.
