About us

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 one of the fastest-growing technology companies, 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 100 employees and is backed by industry powerhouses, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Two Sigma.

About the role

As a Principal Product Designer, you will partner with product management, engineering, business leaders, and subject matter experts to design state-of-the-art data integration products. You will relentlessly advocate for the customer (who can represent many different personas), articulate customer needs and success criteria to partners involved in launching the solution, and ensure the experiences built are usable, useful, and delightful. You will help create and oversee the design vision and design strategy across multiple products while assuring a connected, intuitive user experience across the entire application portfolio. This role requires driving design in conjunction with business goals and technical feasibility. You will help instill design thinking across the organization and product development lifecycle while balancing technical, scope, and schedule constraints. If you enjoy solving complex, large-scale data problems and are ready to make a difference in the leading global industries, we would love to talk to you.

This role is 100% remote, based in the U.S.
