About Crux

Financing the future of energy!

Energy demand is rising for the first time in decades, driving an urgent need for more infrastructure to deliver affordable, reliable and clean electricity. New clean energy infrastructure requires domestic supply chains for critical minerals and components, as well as large amounts of capital. Unfortunately, accessing the necessary financing at each stage of a project lifecycle presents challenges for developers and manufacturers.

Crux is the capital markets platform changing the way clean energy and manufacturing projects are financed in the U.S. We have raised $77 million from top investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Overture, Ardent Venture Partners, QED, and Canapi - alongside strategic investors who collectively generate billions of dollars of tax credits annually.

About the role

The traditional process for financing clean energy is manual, opaque, and slow. We've built products that solve part of that problem - now we're expanding their breadth and depth with AI.

We're hiring our first AI Product Engineer to work hand-in-hand with customers, product, commercial, and legal teams to reimagine the way transactions happen in clean energy finance, starting with diligence.

You won't just be building features - you'll be co-designing the processes and systems that define how we ship high-quality AI products at Crux.

Much of this framework doesn't exist yet - and you'll help invent it using first principles.

What you'll do

• Collaborate directly with customers
• Build products from 0 -> 1
• Pick the tools & frameworks we use
• Learn an insane amount about the nuts & bolts of clean energy finance
• Raise the bar for our engineering culture

What we're looking for

• 2+ years of full-stack software engineering experience and you can build products end-to-end (frontend + backend)
  
  • Bonus: fluency in NextJS + React + Typescript stack
  • Also bonus: you are comfortable making UX decisions
• Proven experience building and shipping user-facing LLM products
  
  • Bonus: you have iterated on a product through evals & CI/CD
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
  
  • Bonus: you love working at startups
• Excellent communication skills (oral & written)
  
  • Bonus: also excellent at communicating with AI (prompting)

You might excel if you...

• enjoy hackathons & building side projects
• have experience building AI agents that work
• previously founded a startup OR worked at a rocket ship
• love taking products from 0 -> 1
• can do most things in half the time that most people think possible
