## Job description

## About Ornn

Ornn is building the financial infrastructure for AI compute. Our price indices are live on Bloomberg Terminal. We structure and trade compute hedging instruments. And we're now building a platform that brings exchange-grade mechanics like order management, matching, scheduling, and settlement to how compute capacity gets reserved and allocated. We're a lean team in New York, backed by leading venture and strategic investors.

## About the Role

You’ll design the products buyers and sellers use to discover, price, trade, and manage compute.

The work spans both market-facing and infrastructure-heavy workflows: listings and search, pricing and quotes, reservations and contracts, delivery tracking, portfolio management, and the systems behind the capacity itself.

You will sit with the people who run the market, learn how compute actually gets priced and delivered, decide what the product should be, and then build the design foundation the rest of the company works from. You will partner directly with engineering, product, and the markets team, and your work will be the surface customers judge Ornn by.

## What You'll Do

- Designing intuitive experiences for complex compute and market workflows
- Simplifying technical systems and concepts into clear, usable products
- Shaping how users discover, buy, sell, price, and transact compute
- Making complex data and market information easy to understand
- Designing for a wide range of users, from technical operators to less specialized customers
- Building interaction patterns and design systems that can scale with the product
- Turning ambiguous problems into clear product direction through customer insight, iteration, and close collaboration with the team

## What We're Looking For

## Requirements

- 2 or more years of working experience and have owned meaningful product areas independently.
- You deeply care about the needs of customers, and implications/the experience of your designs.
- You have strong opinions but can still kill them,
- You have strong visual taste and care about creating visually appealing interfaces
- Comfort working close to engineering, whether you prototype in code yourself or collaborate tightly enough that handoff is seamless.
- You enjoy turning ambiguous, conceptual problems into clear mental models and intuitive flows that help users understand the product quickly.
- Genuine curiosity about the compute market. You do not need to know it yet, but you need to want to learn it.
- Willingness to work in person in New York.

Nice-to-Haves

- Experience in developer tools, infrastructure products, fintech, trading, marketplaces, or data-heavy software
- Enterprise products that still feel exceptionally well-designed
- Designing workflows with complex states and permissions
- Data visualization
- Building or evolving a design system
- Frontend development or working directly in code
- Familiarity with GPU infrastructure, cloud or neocloud markets, commodities, energy, or market microstructure.
- Experience at a company that grew quickly while you were there

## Why This Role Matters

The compute market is early enough that no one has settled how it should be traded, and the interface is a large part of that answer. The screens where someone chooses between four partly matching listings, understands a price, or tracks whether their capacity is actually running are what make a market usable or not.

## Compensation and Benefits

Benefits include competitive salary, meaningful equity, health coverage, free meals, and additional benefits. This is a leadership role with significant strategic impact and equity upside.

## Equal Opportunity Statement

Ornn is committed to building a diverse team. We evaluate candidates based on their ability to do the work, not on pedigree or background. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.

## About ornn.com

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Ornn builds the financial layer for AI infrastructure — a regulated platform for pricing, trading, and hedging GPU compute.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: New York City, United States
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Kush Bavaria (CEO), Wayne Nelms (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Financial Services / AI Infrastructure
- **Target customers**: Institutional investors, compute buyers and sellers, hyperscalers, AI labs, and capital providers (B2B, Enterprise)
- **Mission or purpose**: Turn AI’s core inputs (compute and data) into markets that can be priced, financed, and hedged. [ornn.com](https://ornn.com/)

## Products & Services
- **Ornn Compute Price Index (OCPI)**: A transaction-based reference price for GPU compute across hardware types (H100, H200, B200, B300) — used for pricing, hedging, and settlement. [ornn.com](https://ornn.com/)
- **Market Intelligence**: Pricing, volatility, supply, and demand data for the compute economy. [ornn.com](https://ornn.com/)
- **Capacity Finance**: Infrastructure that makes GPU capacity easier to underwrite and scale. [ornn.com](https://ornn.com/)
- **Compute Access**: Direct capacity for training, inference, and infrastructure-scale workloads. [ornn.com](https://ornn.com/)
- **Futures & Derivatives** (in partnership with ICE): GPU compute futures contracts based on OCPI, enabling risk management for compute. [linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/ornn)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly available
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – $5.7M (Seed round, 2025-11-28)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Transaction-based, not survey-based**: OCPI is built on real trades, not scraped offers or estimates — giving it market credibility.
- **Regulated and compliant**: Full KYC/AML architecture, SEC-registered entity — unusual for a compute marketplace.
- **First-mover in compute derivatives**: Only platform combining physical compute access, index pricing, and risk-transfer products in one integrated infrastructure. [ornn.com](https://ornn.com/)

## Strategic Focus
- Scale the OCPI as the industry benchmark for compute pricing.
- Expand derivative offerings (futures, options) on regulated exchanges (ICE).
- Grow capacity finance products to unlock institutional capital for AI infrastructure buildout. [linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/ornn)

## Why Work Here
- Early-stage fintech tackling a new asset class (compute as a commodity) — high ownership and impact.
- In-office culture in New York City; roles include Engineering, GTM, Product, and Operations. [jobs.gem.com](https://jobs.gem.com/ornn)
- Team includes alumni from Susquehanna, Citadel, Optiver, BCG — a blend of finance and engineering talent.
- Building regulated market infrastructure for AI, a fast-growing sector with clear institutional demand.
