Job description

Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy - fast. We're combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system. We raised $100M from top-tier investors including Multicoin, Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, Box Group and strategic angels like Nico Rosberg, the Co-Founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, Uber and more.

We’re creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing solar, wind and hydrogen projects to real-time power trading and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass on savings to customers.

But we’re not stopping there. We’re also building the Energy Network: a decentralised platform of smart devices that rewards users in Energy Dollars for electrifying their homes, shifting usage to off-peak hours, and helping balance the grid. This network strengthens grid stability - a critical foundation for scaling AI data centers and other energy-intensive industries.

Responsibilities

• Own the implementation and monitoring of live crypto market-making strategies
• Analyse interactions between crypto liquidity, token incentive mechanisms, and DeFi market dynamics
• Design and implement liquidity strategies to support healthy trading of Energy dollars across exchanges
• Collaborate with engineering to create backtesting, monitoring, and execution tools for token market activity
• Work with product teams to manage liquidity provision, token supply, and market risk

• 2+ years of experience in quantitative research, trading, or market making (crypto or traditional markets)
• Proficiency in Python for data analysis, backtesting, and monitoring
• Experience working with large-scale market data and building research pipelines
• Ability to design dashboards, alerts, or monitoring systems for real-time trading performance
• Familiarity with DeFi protocols, automated market makers, and token economics is a plus

• Competitive salary and an equity sign-on bonus
• Biannual bonus scheme
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs
• Paid annual leave
• Breakfast and dinner for office based employees
