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 $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.
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 decentralized 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.
To accelerate this mission, we are looking for a Senior/Lead Recruiter (Infrastructure) to join our team. You will play a pivotal role in scaling our physical infrastructure development footprint from the ground up, focusing on hiring across Grid Interconnection, Data Center Project Development, Land Acquisition, and High-Voltage/Substation Engineering. This is a real opportunity to join an ambitious startup at the forefront of the energy transition and help build the foundational workforce for a new kind of integrated energy infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Develop tailored sourcing strategies to engage top-tier talent from major data center operators, renewable energy developers, and the power/grid sector.
