AN INFLECTION POINT IN AMERICAN ENERGY AND MANUFACTURING Energy demand is growing for the first time in decades, driving an urgent need for more affordable and reliable electricity. More electricity requires new clean energy infrastructure and strong domestic supply chains for minerals and components — as well as large amounts of capital. Traditional project financing is opaque, fragmented, and analog. At Crux, we’re changing that. Through unmatched insights and expertise, white-glove service, purpose-built tools, and risk underwriting, we power a more prosperous, clean, and secure energy future. We are scaling quickly and looking for team members who are eager to combine deep expertise with an AI- and tech-forward mindset. 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.
