At Fuse, we're building a fully integrated energy company, from developing solar, wind, and hydrogen to power trading & distributed energy installations. We sell directly to energy consumers, cutting out the middleman to reduce costs and pass on savings to customers.
But we're not stopping there.
We're also building the Energy Network: a decentralized network of smart devices where users get rewarded in Energy Dollars for electrifying their homes, shifting usage to off-peak hours, and helping balance the grid. The energy network helps the grid achieve energy stability, a crucial requirement for growth of AI data centers and energy intensive industries.
We've raised $90M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group, and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, co-founder of Solana, and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber, and more.
Role Overview
As the Head of Engineering (Platform) at Fuse Energy, you will lead the development of our core backend systems and platform infrastructure, forming the technical foundation that powers all our products and services. You will own the architecture and scalability of the platform, ensuring we build robust, high-performance systems that enable rapid product iteration and exceptional customer experiences.
