Software engineer @ Renewable energy fintech

Who we are

Crux Climate is a stealth renewable energy fintech.

Crux is founded by Alfred Johnson & Allen Kramer.

They previously founded another mission-driven company, Mobilize (acquired in 2020). Alfred was most recently Deputy Chief of Staff of the Treasury Department. Before Mobilize, he led Sales/People for Clara Lending, and was a Vice President at BlackRock. Before Mobilize, Allen worked at Bain & Company and Assured Labor.

We are an early-stage, mission-driven company, backed by some of the best investors (soon to be announced). We are building a company where people care for each other, ship and improve rapidly, and focus unremittingly on the needs of our partners and customers. We care about building a team that reflects and embraces the breadth of experiences in the country. 

We are excited to meet you!

• Own and ship new features end-to-end, balancing speed-to-learning and scalability
• Collaboratively make key technology and architecture choices
• Define processes and culture that empower you to do your best work

Did you start daydreaming when we said “build from scratch”?  No tech debt, no legacy code, no flaky tests, just an opportunity to leverage best-in-class technology for an amazing developer experience enabling you to ship more and suffer less.
