About GetCrux

Crux is an AI Copilot that enables super-fast decision-making for business teams. We introduce you to the future of analytics where answers, insights, or projections are minutes away, not days - simply by asking questions in plain English.

Crux was founded by a young team of IIT Bombay graduates who began their journey by building software for a range of industries while they were still in college. We went on to be associated with the brilliant teams at Bain & Co, Citibank, PwC, Johnson & Johnson, ITC, and NAVI.

We are backed by supportive investors like Emergent, Y Combinator, Neon, First Cheque, and executive leaders from leading listed enterprises SaaS.

Our founding team includes graduates from various top-tier engineering colleges including IIT Bombay, IIT Kharagpur, and BITS Pilani.

About the role

About GetCrux:

What we are solving:

We are building an AI Creative Strategist to help marketers create winning ads, starting with Meta. Our AI agents assist in the end-to-end execution of creative strategy:

  • Creative Insights - learning from creative tests & structuring new experiments
  • Audience Research - finding the pulse of the audience from comments & organic content
  • Ideation - converting new learnings into angles and concepts for new creatives
  • Creative Generation - AI-generated statics and creative briefs that are brand-aligned

Just a month since launch, we’ve already started working with publicly-listed enterprises and some of the fastest moving growth teams in the US.

We want to double down on this demand and move into the next scale of growth with help from a high-agency, ambitious, aspiring entrepreneur.

About the team:

We’ve raised $2.6M in funding from Y Combinator, Emergent Ventures, and senior execs at Google and Meta. Our first product (AI agents for marketing reporting) was recently acquired by a large ad agency for an all cash deal. We are a lean team of 7 and everyone is an IIT grad.

Responsibilities:

You’re expected to help the founders:

  • Create new pipeline::
    • Find intent signals & cold reach-outs (LinkedIn, Email, Cold Calls)
    • Create organic content (LinkedIn posts, blogs)
    • Find and experiment with new channels (ads, newsletters, SEO, etc.)
  • Convert existing pipeline:
    • Setting up custom demos during pilots
    • Help prospects derive maximum value and troubleshoot product shortcomings
  • Serve existing customers:
    • Help customers derive maximum value from new features
    • Help the product & tech team prioritise customer requirements into roadmap
  • Long tail of stuff we can’t define right away
    • You’ll be part of the founding team and hence will be expected to own a lot of stuff that we can’t cover as founders - e.g. helping with hiring, finding a new office, etc.

This role is meant for you if you:

  • Have 2+ years of experience
  • Have been or want to be a founder in the future
  • Want to learn how to sell (especially to enterprises in the US)
  • Have a thick skin, can’t take no for an answer, and don’t shy away from grunt work

Bonus points if you have some interest/background in ads, creatives, marketing OR if you have previously worked in an early-stage startup.

Note: We’ll prioritise folks coming in with a referral/warm intro.

Technology

We are building next-gen AI assistants for data teams. Working on cutting-edge LLMs to optimise their usage on a variety of use cases controlling their accuracy and hallucinations.

Interview Process

Step 1: 30-min intro call with Atharva

Step 2: 60-min deep-dive call on assignment/task

Step 3: In-person chat with all 3 founders

Step 4: Reference checks, comp discussion, other logistics
