Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

We're hiring a VP of Engineering to take full ownership of one of our core engineering domains. You'll report to our CTO and own your domain outright, including strategy, architecture, delivery, and the team. This is a hands-on leadership role.

Responsibilities
  • Take full technical and delivery ownership of a core area of the business, which could span AI, trading, retail, or another part of the platform
  • Architect and build the core systems in your domain, from real-time generation and demand modelling through to high-volume consumption pipelines and the customer-facing app
  • Build and lead the engineering team in your domain, including hiring, structure, and standards
  • Set technical direction alongside the CTO and the wider leadership team
  • Ship alongside your team on the hardest problems

Requirements
  • Demonstrable excellence as an IC
  • Proven track record of building complex systems that run in production
  • Experience leading engineering teams while remaining hands-on
  • Comfort operating with a wide scope and little structure, and the judgment to decide what gets built and what doesn't
  • Clear communication with engineers, product, and commercial stakeholders

Benefits
  • Competitive salary and eligibility for equity
  • Biannual bonus scheme
  • Fully expensed tech to match your needs
  • Private health insurance
  • Breakfast and dinner allowance for office-based employees

As we hire globally, benefits vary by location.
