We're looking for a Haskell Engineer to architect and build our Haskell backend.

Role overview

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Architect and build our Haskell backend with well-documented, easily-tested code that can gracefully scale to tens of millions of users
Build an elegant system that takes the infinite complexity of human language, gives our writers tools for expressive composition, and delivers relevant horoscopes to users using aggregated contextual & historical signals
Use machines to automate a wide variety of repetitive tasks, including some (not all) writing
Work extremely closely with a small, cross-functional team to negotiate, build, and ship new features with the best bang for our buck

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

3+ years of hands-on experience writing in Haskell or another functional programming language
An ability to develop, scale, and maintain complex web apps on cloud infrastructure (we use AWS)
A disciplined approach to development, testing, documentation, and code structure in a team environment
Knowledge or a willingness to learn about ML and NLP, particularly libraries like spaCy, GPT-2, and BERT, is a plus

OUR TECHNICAL INTERVIEW PROCESS

Our interview process is divided into four phases — an initial interview with a recruiter, a secondary interview with a manager, 3–4 virtual onsite interviews (1 hour each, 2 of which are technical screens using CoderPad) with peers and cross-functional coworkers, and lastly, a meeting with our founder.

We realize technical interviews can feel challenging to prepare for, so here’s what we’re interested in seeing from you:

Clean, easily-testable code that’s compiled frequently
Clear communication around your decision-making process
Creative and thoughtful problem-solving
Self-reflection around past projects and the ability to articulate what worked, what didn’t work, and what you'd do differently now that you know the outcomes
Ability to partner with cross-functional coworkers outside of engineering

We’re not interviewing for:

Pure coding skills (we’re a cross-functional company and the ability to collaborate across disciplines is equally as important as coding ability)
Memorization of complex algorithms or trivia (we all have access to some form of search engine and use it when we forget)
Your ability to know everything (we may ask you a question you don’t know the answer to and that’s ok)
“Cracking the Code” / LeetCode-type knowledge

Co–Star Astrology

10-49

We’re hacking tech, culture, and consciousness to build new practices for reflection & collectivity. THREE YEARS AFTER LAUNCHING, SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE DOWNLOADS CO–STAR EVERY 3 SECONDS. Big Sean has rapped about us, Ariana Grande & Kevin Durant post screenshots to their IGs, and we’ve been App of the Day twice. Merging 4,000 years of astrological tradition with NASA data interpreted by humans and assembled by machines, Co–Star decodes sky and earth to create a new model for relating to ourselves and each other. WE’RE MERGING THE RESONANCE OF THE HUMANITIES WITH THE PRECISION OF TECHNOLOGY. Every day, we generate millions of hyper-personalized horoscopes using rules-based natural language generation that combines state-of-the-art AI models like GPT-3 with the insights of staff poets. Inspired by poetry, psychoanalysis, and astrology, Co–Star is the first synthetic text to be called wildly beautiful, brutally honest, or comparable to therapy. IT’S STILL EARLY DAYS. We’re building out the social side of the app with features like your top friends for the day, asynchronized messaging, and groups, developed in tandem with practicing group therapists. We've raised $21,000,000 from the people behind companies like Twitter, Discord, and Snap to build thoughtful new features, increase reliability as we scale, and develop new models for humans & their relationships.
