Our team of 100+ 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.

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 Crux is hiring an IT Lead to own all vendor procurement, contracts, provisioning, and IT strategy, as well as the full employee technology experience across software and hardware. If technology blocks or enables someone's work at Crux, this person owns it, including execution of security policy.
