We modernize capital raising and deployment for clean energy and critical infrastructure with solutions across advisory, investments, technology, and intelligence. Our team of 120+ 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. ## About the Role Crux's Market Intelligence practice is one of the most visible things we do. Our reports and proprietary data move the market, define how participants price and structure deals, and open the door to some of our most important commercial relationships. That work runs on data, and today too much of that data is assembled by hand. We are hiring a Data Engineer to fix that. You will sit on Crux's Data Team and embed with Market Intelligence, building the foundational datasets and pipelines that our research, publications, and client deliverables depend on. Survey responses, pricing series, volume and capacity forecasts, buyer participation: you will own getting these into our data warehouse clean, joined, refreshed on a schedule, and trustworthy enough that an analyst never has to sanity-check them twice. This is a build role at an early moment. You will have more context on Crux's data than anyone else in the room, and we expect you to use it. The datasets you create will be the substrate for our intelligence products through 2027 and beyond. ## What you’ll do - Own the Market Intelligence data foundation. Build and maintain the pipelines our market intelligence work runs on: survey responses, pricing series, volume and capacity forecasts, buyer participation. Extraction, transformation, scheduling, monitoring, the whole path. - Automate our survey processes end to end. Ingesting, cleaning, joining - a lot of this is ad hoc today. You will make it a system, so that scaling our survey program does not mean scaling hours of manual cleanup. - Get data where it needs to be. Supporting the reporting layer so that findings are visible and plugged into the tools, dashboards, and publications that depend on them, without an analyst stitching it together each time. - Turn recurring questions into repeatable queries. As bespoke research scales, you will be the person who will help productize. - Firm up Crux's data practices. With the data foundation in place, you’ll help move it onto firmer ground: validating inputs, documenting assumptions, version control, reproducible outputs, finding and driving additional use cases across other teams. ## Who you are - 3+ years of experience building and maintaining production data pipelines in high-growth, fast-paced environments. - Fluent in Python and SQL, with the ability to write, test, and debug production code and complex queries. - Proficient in cloud data warehousing, including schema design, incremental data loading, query optimization, and cost management. - Experience with extraction, transformation, loading, scheduling, and monitoring. - Knowledge of established data-quality practices, including input validation, automated testing, monitoring, documentation, version control, and reproducible outputs. - Skilled at translating business or research needs into clearly scoped technical requirements, deliverables, and implementation plans. - Demonstrated ability to communicate technical tradeoffs, project status, data limitations, and delivery risks to technical and nontechnical stakeholders. - Hands-on experience with AI-enabled tools supporting software development, data analysis, testing, documentation, or workflow automation. - Sound technical judgment when evaluating datasets and engineering approaches against downstream reporting, research, or product requirements. Bonus - Experience working with energy, finance, transaction, or market intelligence data. - Exposure to research, forecasting, survey analysis, or data-intensive publications. - Hands-on involvement in developing or supporting analytical or statistical models. - Knowledge of model testing and data-validation practices, including documenting assumptions and handling missing values and outliers. - Familiarity with data visualization, business intelligence, or reporting tools. ## What we bring - Backing, traction & brand: - We have raised $77 million in capital from some of the best venture and strategic investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Ardent Venture Partners, Pattern, Clearway, EDFR, Intersect, LS Power, Orsted, Hartree Partners, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and OMERS Ventures. - Additionally, we have raised a $500mm debt facility from Nuveen, allowing us to co-invest and deploy our own capital in support of the clean economy. - Have been profitable and are growing exponentially - We have closed over 120+ transactions in just the last 2 years, facilitating billions of dollars of capital flowing into renewables projects - Culture & working dynamic - Remote-first operating model: Work from anywhere in the US and Canada, or work out of our optional offices in DC (open), NYC (opening Q1’26). Optional co-working opportunities with co-workers in Bay Area, Seattle, Denver, Boston, LA, and beyond. - High growth & high ownership culture: We grow quickly by giving extremely talented people a lot of responsibility. - Best of financial services & technology: We have brought together a team that are experts in clean energy finance, and the best technologies. Use your expertise while getting to be on the cutting edge of applying AI to your day and your clients’ experience. - Regular team offsites: We sustain culture by bringing the entire company together 3 times a year. Individual teams may also meet up more frequently. - Benefits - Healthcare: We cover 100% of premiums for employees with a variety of plans on Aetna (nationwide) and Kaiser (WA and California) and subsidize 70% for dependents (total as a group), if relevant. - Dental & vision: We cover 100% of premiums for employees and 50% for dependents (each), if relevant. - Holidays: 10 company holidays per year. - Paid time off: 20 days per year. - 401k: We support a 401k account but don't have a matching program set up at this time (typical for an early-stage startup). - Parental leave: 16 weeks for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents. - Compensation: - Base Compensation: $130,000 - $180,000 depending on leveling/years of experience, not reflecting value of equity. - Company wide bonus tied to revenue goals. - Stock options in a rapidly growing company. - Values - Care for each other: We want to work on a team where people support each other - in their growth, in their work, and towards our shared mission. When we do that, we have fun. - Build and improve rapidly: We move quickly. To do that, we focus, consistently ask ourselves if we are prioritizing the right things, and execute them as best as possible. - Focus unremittingly on customers: Our first obligation is to our customers and partners, and we keep their needs front and center in everything we do. - Demonstrate ownership: We are all owners of Crux.
