Fall has officially arrived in the Bay Area, but the vibrant foliage and rapidly approaching holiday season aren’t the only things catching the area’s attention. San Francisco’s tech scene just so happens to be blossoming, even as the leaves fall throughout Dolores Park — and fresh talent is bringing company visions to life.
Built In San Francisco dug a little deeper into six companies standing out this month to showcase who they are, what’s got people paying attention and all the ways they’re keeping internal teams supported through benefits packages and continuous growth.
Take a look at Crusoe Energy Systems, for instance. The company is currently looking to fill more than 14 open roles to tackle recent growth into the crypto field and exciting engineering projects, all while fostering an environment of continuous development.
Meanwhile, employees at companies like Moov Financial and UJET can’t stop buzzing about the supportive company cultures and a focus on transparency that help them contribute to making a real difference in the world every day.
Ready to grow into a new opportunity this month? All six organizations are hiring now.
What Crusoe does: Crusoe Energy Systems repurposes otherwise wasted energy to fuel the growing demand for computational power in the expanding digital economy. Their mission: eliminate flaring and emissions in the oil field — while also powering AI, cryptocurrency mining and computation-intensive research.
In the news: In October, Crusoe Energy announced that it had acquired Great American Mining for an undisclosed amount to increase its mining capacity in the crypto market. With its acquisition of GAM, Crusoe Energy gained approximately 10 megawatts of operational capacity, as well as around 300 employees and several facilities across six states.
Now hiring: Craving a career change? Crusoe currently has open roles for software engineers of various levels, an executive assistant of technology leadership, a cloud business development manager, a lead cloud designer and more.
What Lob does: Lob connects the offline and online worlds through direct mail automation. The platform’s print/mail and address verification APIs help companies save time that would have otherwise been spent physically processing and sending mail, leading to scalability and a significant boost in ROI.
Building sustainable futures: In August, Lob announced via a company blog post that all mail sent through its platform is now 100 percent carbon neutral across its entire lifecycle — setting a new sustainability standard for direct mail and the marketing industry overall. With Lob, companies are able to leverage the power of automated direct mail in order to decrease their carbon footprint and meet sustainability goals at no additional cost.

Carving custom career paths: For job seekers looking for flexibility in their career, all roles at Lob are open to internal candidates in order to pursue passions and continuously develop skills. “We marry external, individualized coaching opportunities and learning stipends with clear feedback and promotion cycles so all employees are involved in their development and understand how to get to the next level,” Director of Talent, Operations and Enablement Matthew Plinck previously told Built In. “Whether it be a fireside chat with our C-suite or our dedicated Slack channel that offers all employees a line to the leadership team, we are encouraged to be curious, bold and open so that we can all be involved in our company’s success.”
What Moov Financial does: Moov Financial is a payments platform making it easy to accept, store, send and spend money — all from a single application programming interface. Instead of stitching together multiple vendors, software companies simply add Moov to their products to get the latest in payment technology, user onboarding, licensing, compliance and more.
Employee buzz: “It’s hard to pin down just one thing that makes Moov’s culture special, but being 100 percent remote with a flexible work schedule sits near the top of the list,” Manager of Product Management Charles Sander previously told Built In. “Because of our values like radical transparency and reciprocated trust, Moovers thrive regardless of where they live.”
