About this role

Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.
We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.
We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.
We're building a cutting-edge AI team. As an Applied AI Engineer, this role suits someone with the technical depth of a backend engineer who is specifically interested in applied AI and how it can improve the energy experience for our customers and our internal operations. You'll work on consumer features such as the Energy Co-Pilot and speedy onboarding (using VLM and LLM tools) and build AI tools that make teams across Fuse more productive.

3+ years of software engineering experience, with requirements varying by role level.
Proven experience as a backend engineer with a strong interest and practical experience in applied AI or machine learning
Strong programming skills in Python (or similar) with familiarity in AI/ML libraries (TensorFlow, PyTorch, etc.)
Experience working with large-scale models (LLMs/VLMs) and deploying AI-driven solutions into production
Solid understanding of cloud technologies, containerisation and building scalable AI applications
Ability to integrate AI/ML models into real-world applications, focusing on usability and performance
Strong problem-solving skills and a practical approach to implementing AI solutions in a fast-paced environment
Experience working with large datasets, particularly in relation to demand and supply forecasting
Bonus: experience or strong interest in energy markets and trading strategies; understanding of weather forecasting, energy demand patterns and production modelling; exposure to NLP or related fields
Competitive salary and eligibility for equity
Biannual bonus scheme
Fully expensed tech to match your needs
Private health insurance
