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
