About the Role
Fuse Energy is seeking a Founding GPU Engineer to develop and optimize GPU-accelerated software for data center systems. This role involves low-level performance engineering for large-scale compute clusters, focusing on the software layer that connects GPU workload behavior to energy availability and grid demand.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and optimize CUDA kernels for high-throughput, latency-sensitive workloads.
- Profile and tune GPU performance across compute, memory bandwidth, and interconnect bottlenecks.
- Build tooling to correlate GPU cluster power draw and utilization with real-time energy pricing and grid signals.
- Optimize multi-GPU and multi-node scaling using NCCL, MPI, or similar communication libraries.
- Work with data center infrastructure teams on power capping, dynamic voltage/frequency scaling, and workload scheduling strategies.
- Collaborate with ML/systems engineers to integrate custom kernels into training/inference pipelines.
- Benchmark against CPU/GPU baselines and drive continuous performance improvements.
- Contribute to internal libraries, documentation, and best practices for GPU performance engineering.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience writing production CUDA code, or equivalent strong project/industry experience.
- Deep understanding of GPU architecture (SMs, warps, memory hierarchy, occupancy).
- Proficiency in C++ and CUDA; experience with Python for tooling/orchestration.
- Experience with performance profiling tools (Nsight Systems/Compute).
- Familiarity with multi-GPU/multi-node scaling (NCCL, MPI, RDMA/InfiniBand).
- Strong grasp of memory optimization, kernel fusion, and parallel algorithm design.
- Comfortable working across the stack from low-level kernels to system-level infrastructure.

About the Company
- 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 $210M 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.
- As data centers become one of the largest and fastest-growing sources of electricity demand, Fuse is expanding into high-performance compute infrastructure that sits at the intersection of energy and AI - optimising how power-dense GPU workloads are scheduled, cooled, and balanced against grid conditions in real time.
