at Fuse Energy

🏢 About Fuse Energy

Fuse Energy is at the forefront of the global renewable energy transition, offering a mission-driven environment where your work directly impacts sustainability. Their focus on comprehensive solutions means you'll work on cutting-edge AI features and consumer-facing products that accelerate clean energy adoption.

About This Role

As a Senior Product Engineer, you'll own features end-to-end, from architecture to polished UI, spanning customer-facing products and internal tools. This role is impactful because you'll shape the user experience of renewable energy solutions, including AI features shipped to production, directly contributing to the company's mission.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start the day with a stand-up with your team, then dive into coding a new feature for a customer-facing product, collaborating with a backend engineer on API design. After lunch, review a design mockup with the product manager and provide feedback on UX details. Later, pair with a mobile engineer to ensure consistent behavior across platforms, then ship a polished UI component with automated tests.

🎯 Who Fuse Energy Is Looking For

  • An experienced front-end engineer with 5+ years in TypeScript, React, and Next.js, who has shipped consumer-facing products and can showcase attention to design detail.
  • A proactive owner who drives decisions, not just completes tasks, and can articulate the rationale behind architectural choices.
  • A collaborative communicator who works effectively with backend, mobile, product, and design teams to deliver seamless integrations and intuitive UX.
  • Passionate about renewable energy and motivated to build products that accelerate the transition to clean energy.
