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

• Develop tailored sourcing strategies to engage top-tier talent from hedge funds, trading firms, and elite technical organisations
• Screen and assess candidates for both technical excellence and cultural fit
• Run high-quality processes: drive pipeline activity, facilitate debriefs, and ensure seamless candidate experiences
• Negotiate offers and close world-class talent in competitive markets
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with hiring managers and department heads to understand their hiring needs and timelines

• 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a heavy focus on backend roles in high-performance engineering environments

• Agency background working with trading firms, hedge funds, or HFTs
• Proven ability to identify and close candidates with niche, in-demand skill sets
• Ability to develop and maintain strong relationships with hiring managers and candidates
• Excellent relationship-building and influencing skills across all levels of an organization
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience with ATS tools, reporting, and data-driven recruiting practices

• Competitive salary
• Biannual bonus scheme
• Fully expensed tech to match your needs
• Breakfast and dinner for office-based employees
• Opportunity to work closely with senior business leaders and exposure to building a global energy business
