Senior/Lead Recruiter - Infrastructure (US)

About Fuse Energy Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy startup on a mission to deliver a terawatt of renewable energy — fast. We combine 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, and Box Group, with strategic angels including the co-founder of Solana and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify, and Uber.
