Senior/Lead Recruiter - Infrastructure

About the company

Fuse Energy is a renewable energy startup building toward a very large-scale goal: delivering a terawatt of clean energy quickly. The company uses first-principles thinking and modern technology to create a substantially better energy system.

It has secured $170M in funding from leading investors such as Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, and Box Group, along with strategic backers including Nico Rosberg and founders and partners connected with companies like Meta, Revolut, Spotify, and Uber.

Fuse Energy is developing a fully integrated energy business that spans solar, wind, and hydrogen project development, real-time power trading, and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to customers, it aims to remove intermediaries, reduce costs, and share the savings with users.

The company is also creating the Energy Network, a decentralized ecosystem of smart devices that rewards people with Energy Dollars for electrifying homes, shifting energy use to off-peak periods, and supporting grid balance. This is intended to improve grid stability, which is essential for the growth of AI data centers and other energy-intensive industries.
