Senior Software Engineer

About Product & Engineering

At Crayon, we believe that deep customer empathy is the best way to build a successful company. It also happens to be a great way to build amazing products. It all starts by trying to better understand our customers. We then work collaboratively to conceptualize, develop, and refine simple yet powerful solutions to meet their needs.

Crayon is at the forefront of using LLMs to analyze data, synthesize insights, and deliver that to customers as useful, actionable intelligence. We tackle a unique combination of data capture and processing, workflow, and information architecture challenges which require innovative approaches to everything from UX to leveraging GenAI, implemented in a modern and scalable SaaS technology stack.

But, we can’t build a great product without a great team and that’s where you come in! We are a small but growing organization, and we’re looking for people who want to do the best work of their careers solving real customer problems. We push ourselves to improve, accomplish more, and maximize our impact – growth opportunities abound.
