Job Description
Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy - fast.
Were combining first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.
We raised $170M 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.
Were 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 were not stopping there.
Were 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.
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.
Responsibilities
- Own the backend platform architecture, infrastructure, and foundational services
- Drive the evolution of our platform to support scale, performance, and reliability
- Build a real-time digital twin of renewable generation and customer demand
- Design and manage high-volume data pipelines for energy consumption and system telemetry
- Lead the development of integration layers and messaging interfaces with third-party services
- Establish engineering best practices for observability, CI/CD, testing, and scalability
- Partner closely with product and backend teams to support rapid development cycles
Requirements
- Proven track record as a senior software engineer or tech lead, ideally with platform/backend focus
- 5+ years experience in software engineering, with 2+ years in a leadership role
- Experience building and operating production-grade systems at scale
- Strong understanding of system design, distributed computing, and cloud infrastructure
- Clear and proactive communication, with the ability to align cross-functional teams
- Hands-on approach to solving problems and making strategic decisions
Bonus
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., AWS CDK, Terraform)
- Experience with event-driven architecture, messaging queues, or stream processing
- Familiarity with building internal platforms or developer tooling
Benefits
- Competitive salary and an equity sign-on bonus
- Biannual bonus scheme
- Fully expensed tech to match your needs
- Paid annual leave
- Breakfast and dinner allowance for office based employees
