Account Executive

We are building a platform to power the flow of data globally. It might sound ambitious, but we are well on our way to accomplishing this mission! Crux is transforming how companies work with data. For years, data discovery, ingestion, and operations have been expensive, time-consuming, and frustrating for data teams looking to harness large quantities of data. We are solving this challenge by enabling enterprises with tools and operations services that facilitate the onboarding and delivery of any dataset to end customers how, and where, they want it. In our lingo, we’re ushering in the third generation of ETL with data mesh capabilities for enterprises. We are a fast growing technology company, with a strong culture focused on learning, excellence, teamwork, and ownership. Founded in 2017 by a seasoned team of data professionals, Crux has grown to over 80 employees and is backed by industry powerhouses, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Two Sigma.
