Compute trades in the world’s most opaque market. Ornn makes it something you can price, finance, and hedge with confidence. Backed by Link Ventures.
About the role
You would be one of the first infrastructure engineers responsible for the systems underneath Ornn Compute. Compute spans heterogeneous GPU clusters, datacenter infrastructure, schedulers, virtualization, networking, and the control plane that makes physical compute capacity available as a reliable financial product. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Strong Linux systems knowledge. You are comfortable debugging processes, networking, memory, filesystems, devices, permissions, namespaces, cgroups, and system-level performance issues
- Strong Rust knowledge and experience building production systems software
- Working knowledge of SQL and experience designing or interacting with data-intensive backend systems
- Experience operating containerized and virtualized workloads in production
- Deep familiarity with Kubernetes and/or Slurm and the systems surrounding them. Experience with technologies such as RKE2, Slinky, Docker/containerd, Kata Containers, or similar infrastructure is strongly preferred
- Understanding of virtualization fundamentals including hypervisors, KVM/QEMU-style architectures, virtio, device passthrough, and workload isolation
More about this role
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.

This is not a traditional cloud infrastructure role. You will work across Linux hosts, Kubernetes and Slurm clusters, containers and VMs, bare-metal provisioning, node management, networking, storage, and distributed control systems.
You will work directly with our Head of Engineering and have significant ownership over how Ornn operates infrastructure across multiple datacenters and compute providers. Expect to debug failures across the entire...
