About Ornn
Ornn describes itself as 'The Foundation of the Compute Market,' building financial infrastructure to make GPU compute something that can be priced, financed, and hedged with confidence. Its flagship product is the OCPI (Ornn Compute Price Index), a reference price built on transaction-based data tracking live traded spot prices for GPU compute across hardware types such as H100, H200, B200, and B300, listed on Bloomberg. Ornn's product suite includes Ornn Compute Access (capacity for training, inference, and infrastructure-scale workloads) and Ornn Data (market measurement and intelligence covering pricing, volatility, supply, and demand). The company operates with a compliant architecture including complete KYC/AML protocols, combining physical and financial infrastructure into one compute platform. Ornn recently raised $33M led by A16Z and has been covered by The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg. Its clients include buyers, sellers, and capital providers across the compute economy.
Skills
About the Role
You will orchestrate transaction volume across Ornn's trading and data products and own coverage of the institutions entering this new asset class. You'll build relationships with hedge funds, bank trading desks, credit funds, and infrastructure investors, guiding them from first conversation to active participation. You'll translate compute into the language institutions already use to price risk, including basis, curve, volatility, collateral, and structure. You'll build institutional adoption through credibility and rigor, and carry market feedback back into what Ornn builds.
