Senior iOS Developer

In Dr Joseph Lstiburek's essay "A Perfect Wall", he analyzes the elements that enable a wall to perform its core function-separating the inside from the outside. He calls the most solid type of wall a "five hundred year wall", referring to the five centuries of construction knowledge that went into its making (and the five hundred years it could endure). Capacity accumulates across generations, bringing perfection within reach. Randy Williams' "A Practical Perfect Wall" takes Lstiburek's ideal principles of wall-building and clearly outlines modern procedures for making them into real walls.

A perfect wall and perfect code are similar. In applying best practices, we experience perfection not as a mystical ideal, but as a practical exercise of our expertise. Perfection is not about pushing a meaningless metric to 100%. Code is perfect when it achieves its intended purpose.

We are looking for a highly competent engineer with a deep appreciation for the practical perfectibility of everyday, tangible experience, and a desire to make constant improvements over time. Someone who shares our standards for a perfect system : one that is built with a specific end use in mind, and reliably fulfills that need.

The engineering team at Co-Star values communication, collaboration-and most importantly, delivery. We prioritize making as much contact with reality as possible, to find out directly from users what they want and need. Like walls make buildings that hold human life within them, the systems we create together are containers of intimacy, humor and connection.

What you'll do

• You'll release features weekly to millions of people. Every launch is an experiment in making astrology feel more accessible, and your work will be in users' hands almost immediately.
• You'll collaborate closely with product and design to turn ambitious concepts into practical, reliable code.
• We're a small, nimble team : you won't just be handed tickets, you'll have real input into how we build and you'll influence the future of our iOS codebase.
