CUDA Engineer

As a CUDA Engineer at Fuse Energy, you will design and optimize low-level GPU kernels that power transformer inference workloads in a fast-growing renewable energy and AI compute environment. You will push throughput and latency, tune memory hierarchies, and implement quantisation-aware, mixed-precision kernels across cutting-edge GPUs. Your work directly supports energy-efficient AI inference at scale, helping Fuse meet rapid compute demands while aligning with the company’s mission to accelerate clean energy via advanced technology. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve performance, reliability, and efficiency of our inference pipelines.
