About 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.

  • Also bonus: you are comfortable making UX decisions

• Proven experience building and shipping user-facing LLM products

  • Bonus: you have iterated on a product through evals & CI/CD

• Have experience building AI agents that work
