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 ~$27 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 who collectively generate billions of dollars of tax credits annually.

Clean energy finance by the numbers:

• 160% increase in power demand from data centers by 2030, according to Goldman Sachs

• 95% of the increase in global power capacity through 2026 will be clean energy, according to the IEA

• $500B+ estimated credits to be monetized through 2030, according to Credit Suisse

About The Role

The traditional process for transacting tax credits is manual & onerous. We’ve built a product that solves parts of that problem but now need to expand its breadth & depth in a rigorous, analytical way. We’re excited to grow our engineering team to help us with this!

Given the complexity of our domain, we look for folks who are deeply motivated to learn and do not hesitate to ask questions. We take psychological safety and inclusion seriously, and actively encourage sharing lots of ideas and opinions - it’s how we do our best work!
