Part-Time Database Associate, Astro-Nought
Part time (5-10 hrs/wk to start) | Portland, OR | $25-$35/hr | Deadline: 11/20/26

Astro-Nought seeks an unusually fast, detail-oriented database associate to help grow our product database.

Recycling is hard. Astro-Nought, an app-based digital recycling assistant, makes it easy, providing specific, location-based instructions for individual products.

Working with a small team of starry-eyed idealists, this role will learn to use Astro-Nought to quickly add new grocery products. Speed matters as much as accuracy, as even the smallest detail could change recycling instructions. A great fit is someone who notices the little things, is a snappy texter, and is rigorous about accuracy – spotting inconsistencies and asking questions when something doesn’t seem right.

Experience at a grocery store or recycling sorting facility is a plus, but not required.

To apply, send a brief note about your interest in the role and any relevant experience to adrienne@astro-nought.com. A resume is welcome but not required.

Astro-Nought rejects the dismantling of DEI programs in the United States and aspires to a zero-waste, zero-contamination, zero-hate future.
