Job description

We’re supercharging the clean economy

Crux is the capital markets platform changing the way clean energy and manufacturing projects are financed in the U.S. Crux’s platform, market intelligence, and expert team help developers and manufacturers unlock financing through all stages of project development and operation.

Our team of 40+ is composed of experts in energy, tax, finance, government, and technology. We have raised $77 million in capital from some of the best investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Overture, Ardent Venture Partners, QED, Canapi, and others. These funds are joined by strategic investors including Pattern Energy, Clearway Energy, EDF Renewables, Intersect Power, LS Power, Orsted, Hartree Partners, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and OMERS Ventures.

An inflection point in American energy and manufacturing

Energy demand is growing for the first time in 20 years, driven by surging manufacturing, transportation, electrification, and data centers. Simultaneously, hundreds of billions of dollars are being invested in domestic supply chains for critical minerals and components. Developers and manufacturers will require trillions of dollars in capital to meet growing needs.

Unfortunately, the capital markets supporting this transformation remain opaque, fragmented, and complex. At Crux, we recognized the missing infrastructure: a central capital markets platform designed specifically for the next century of American energy and industry. By connecting counterparties, providing market intelligence, and streamlining transactions, we unlock faster decision making, lower cost of capital, and accelerated investment.

The Opportunity

At Crux, we value innovation and diverse perspectives. If you are passionate about clean energy finance but don’t see a specific role that fits your expertise, we encourage you to apply and tell us how you can make an impact.

What You’ll Do

• Define your role based on your skills and the value you can bring to our mission.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive impactful initiatives.

• Leverage your experience and creativity to contribute to the development of our platform and services.

• Take ownership of projects that align with your proposed role.

• Demonstrate adaptability and enthusiasm for building within an early-stage environment.

Who You Are

• Passionate about clean energy and sustainable finance.

• Driven, proactive, and able to execute innovative solutions.

• Exceptional communicator with strong problem-solving skills.

• Willing to learn, grow, and shape your career at Crux.

• Excited to work in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

What We Bring

• $77m raised from top investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Overture, Ardent Venture Partners, QED, Canapi, and others.

• Healthcare: We cover 100% of premiums for employees with a variety of plans on Aetna (nationwide) and Kaiser (WA and California) and subsidize $400 for dependents (total as a group), if relevant. Dental & vision: We cover 100% of premiums for employees and 50% for dependents (each), if relevant.

• Holidays: 10 company holidays per year Paid time off: 20 days per year

• 401k: We support a 401k account but don't have a matching program set up at this time (typical for an early-stage startup).

• Regular all-team onsites 3 times/year.

• Compensation structure = base salary, possible performance bonus depending on role, company wide bonus tied to revenue, and equity in the form of stock options.
  

Our Values

Care for each other: We want to work on a team where people support each other - in their growth, in their work, and towards our shared mission. When we do that, we have fun.

Build and improve rapidly: We move quickly. To do that, we focus, consistently ask ourselves if we are prioritizing the right things, and execute them as best as possible.

Focus unremittingly on customers: Our first obligation is to our customers and partners, and we keep their needs front and center in everything we do.

Demonstrate ownership: We are all owners of Crux. This is our team, our company, our product and we show that to each other.

Convene a team that reflects the breadth of experiences in the country: We’re building a team with a wide range of backgrounds and a culture where everyone can thrive.

We believe in building diverse teams and encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds. Let us know how you envision contributing to Crux, and help us redefine the future of clean energy finance.
