We’re financing the future of energy

Our team of 95+ 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 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.
The role
We are looking to add a Product Designer to the team to continue the build out and unification of our diligence and workflow tools. These tools are used by internal and external users to make the process of underwriting project finance more efficient, ranging from law firms to investors to project developers and manufacturers.
This will begin with extending those diligence and workflow tools to our newest business lines, and doing so with an eye towards standardization and platformization. Over time, we will also explore opportunities to make these available as standalone tools for market participants who are not transacting with us.
This designer will work in close collaboration with our experienced engineering, product, and customer-facing teams to develop that vision and bring it to life.
