Founding Engineer (Full Stack / AI Video) – GetCrux

GetCrux is the AI Creative Strategist to launch winning ads.

Creatives have become the biggest lever to win on ad platforms. Yet, there is no clear way to figure out why something works. Marketers end up guessing and replicating the best performing ad, only to see it fail - with high CAC & wasted dollars.

GetCrux helps performance marketers find winning patterns in their ad creatives across 100+ parameters like hooks, messaging, storyline, music, pacing, and recommend exactly what to launch next.

We are backed by Y Combinator, Emergent Ventures and senior execs from Google, Facebook and have recently raised over $2.6M. Our team consists of the best minds in AI and product from top grad schools in India like IIT Bombay.

Our platform is used by several Fortune 1000 companies, fast-growing YC companies and consumer apps across US.

Join us in our journey of redefining how performance marketers make decisions.

Our founding team consists of graduates from IIT Bombay and ex-founders.

We’re building the AI Creative Strategist for ads.

Not dashboards. Not copilots.

A system that actually generates winning creatives 🎯

We’ve crossed $1M ARR in months, work with companies like SoFi, Rocket Money, and Rappi, and now we’re building our next big bet:

→ An agentic video editor that can create, edit, and optimize ad creatives end-to-end 🎬

We want to go from:

prompt → finished ad that performs ⚡

Not just generate clips.

But decide:

• what story to tell
• what visuals to use
• how to edit it
• what works (based on real performance data) 📊

• Build systems that orchestrate multiple AI models (video, image, audio) 🤖
• Work with cutting-edge models (Kling, Veo, etc.)
• Design async pipelines for generation + editing
• Build real product surfaces, not just infra
• Define what “AI video creation UX” even looks like ✨

This is 0 → 1 product work, not maintenance 🚀
