Why Crucibl
Management consulting is a $400B industry built on selling intelligence-for-hire. The model is breaking - not slowly, but now. The biggest frontier in enterprise AI isn't better models. It's judgment at scale: taking the messy, ambiguous decisions that run 85% of the global economy and making them faster, crisper, and more defensible.
Crucibl is building that. We're profitable, growing fast, and delivering for Fortune 500 clients. We raised a $10M seed from Tier 1 VCs - then kept growing on revenue. The client pipeline is full. We're scaling to meet it.

Who You Are
Must-Haves
At least one undeniable signal of excellence - built and shipped at a top tech company, early engineer at a startup that built something real, notable open source work, or top-tier CS program
Strong engineering fundamentals - distributed systems, data, or AI/ML; we're too small for hand-holding on the technical side
Shipped meaningful products end-to-end - not just features, but systems
Fluent in modern stacks; we care more about how you think than what you know
Strong Signal
Built AI/ML pipelines or worked on LLM-powered products
Experience with enterprise data systems or analytics infrastructure
Has operated in a high-growth, high-ambiguity environment
Thinks like an owner - big picture, not just your part
We're Not Looking For
Engineers who need a full spec before starting - ambiguity is the job
Coasters from large tech - we want people who shipped things that mattered, not maintained things that existed
Pure ML researchers without product instincts - we build for real clients, not benchmarks
Who You'll Work With
Our founders bring deep technology experience (Google-scale systems serving hundreds of millions of users) and domain expertise in high-stakes business decisions from top consulting and private equity firms. You'll be the connective tissue between these worlds, and between the company we are today and the company we're becoming.
