Working here means contributing directly to scalable climate solutions in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment. Their New York location places them at the intersection of tech innovation and energy policy.

About This Role

As a Senior Front-End Engineer at Fuse Energy, you'll design and maintain the user-facing web applications that enable customers to access renewable energy solutions. This role is impactful because your work directly influences how users interact with clean energy technology, making complex systems accessible and driving adoption. You'll be optimizing performance to ensure seamless experiences that support the company's rapid growth.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves collaborating with product managers to refine requirements for new energy features, developing React components for customer-facing dashboards, and optimizing existing code for faster load times. You might participate in code reviews, work with backend engineers on API integrations for energy data, and analyze performance metrics to identify improvement areas.

🎯 Who Fuse Energy Is Looking For

  • Has 5+ years building production web applications with deep expertise in modern JavaScript (ES6+), CSS architecture, and semantic HTML
  • Demonstrates experience with React or Angular in energy, fintech, or data-intensive applications where performance optimization is critical
  • Shows proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams (likely including energy experts, data scientists, and product managers) to prioritize features
  • Can articulate specific examples of improving web performance metrics (Core Web Vitals, load times) in previous roles

📝 Tips for Applying to Fuse Energy
