About the role
Stardex is an AI-native ATS and CRM built specifically for executive search firms. We're backed by Y Combinator and are changing how recruiting firms leverage their data and institutional knowledge. Our customers are boutique and mid-market executive search firms who are moving off legacy platforms — and they need someone to make that transition seamless.
🔍 Who are you?
- You're comfortable writing TypeScript/SQL scripts to transform, clean, and migrate messy data from one system to another
- You're extremely detail-oriented. Data migration has zero margin for error and you take pride in getting things right.
- You instinctively reach for AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to automate repetitive work rather than doing it manually. You're always looking for ways to use AI to make processes faster and more efficient.
- You have some understanding of database optimization — you know why a poorly structured query or schema matters
- You can communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical people when needed
- You have a "whatever it takes" attitude. If something needs to go live by Friday, you figure it out.
- You write clean, maintainable code and document your work so processes get better over time
✨ Bonus points if you...
- Have worked with CRMs or ATS platforms before (or any system with messy, relational data)
- Have experience with APIs, data pipelines, or ETL processes
- Have hands-on experience with database performance tuning, indexing, or query optimization
- Have done any kind of customer-facing technical work — support, consulting, freelance projects, anything
