## 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 would be one of the first engineers building a system where bugs have financial consequences. The platform handles real capacity commitments backed by real contracts, so the engineering bar is closer to a trading system than a typical SaaS product. You will work across the full stack having ownership on the infrastructure and user experience for both AI labs and neoclouds. You will work directly with our Head of Engineering. Expect real influence over architecture and technical direction, building end-to-end.

## What You'll Do

- Build core platform features that let people use and trade compute.
- Own frontend interfaces for thousands of customers (and growing!)
- Make reliability a feature: write tests, maintain code quality, and treat correctness as a hard requirement.
- Shape technical decisions around performance as the platform scales.
- Contribute to infrastructure and deployment tooling as Ornn grows.

## What We're Looking For

## Requirements

- 3+ years shipping production software.
- Strong Python skillset: you've built backend services, APIs, and data-intensive systems with it.
- Full-stack capability.
- Comfortable operating independently in a lean team.
- BS, MS in CS or related field from a strong program.

Nice-to-Haves

- Rust experience, especially for systems-level or performance-critical work.
- Time in trading, fintech, or crypto where latency and reliability were non-negotiable.
- Familiarity with GPU compute, cloud infrastructure, or datacenter operations.
- Experience with IaC, container orchestration, and CI/CD in production.

## Why This Role Matters

Ornn Compute's value to neoclouds and institutional investors depends entirely on the platform working. The credit structures, the rating agency relationships, the financial products that sit on top of the marketplace all assume a functioning, reliable exchange underneath. The near term engineering execution will define whether Ornn Compute can onboard its first cohort of tenants and operators.

## 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)

- **Growth Signals**: 7.1% monthly employee growth (12 employees currently); partnership with ICE to launch first GPU compute futures; SEC-registered (CIK 0002133586). [linkedin.com](https://linkedin.com/company/ornn)

## 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.
