Due Diligence Engineer

About the role

Ornn builds the financial infrastructure for AI compute, trading compute hedging instruments and building a platform for reserving and allocating compute capacity. The Due Diligence Engineer owns the technical review of every new operator: reading the documentation and deciding whether the site is what it claims to be, then driving the process to a yes or no. The role works alongside the supply team and finance.

Key responsibilities

• Run the technical and IT review of every new supplier site: racks, topology, power and cooling, heat exchangers, chassis, cabling and network path.
• Read operator documentation critically and find what is missing, not just what is there.
• Project manage diligence end to end, chasing operators for documents and answers and closing to a decision.
• Set the standard for what an operator must produce to be listed, and tighten it as learning progresses.
• Flag where a site's real capability does not match the service levels promised to a customer.
• Work with the supply team on new operators and with finance on commercial and financial diligence.
• Stay close to capacity after signing, since what is found in diligence is inherited by deployment and fleet operations.

Required profile

• Hands-on experience with data center infrastructure: power, cooling, racks, structured cabling and network topology.
• Able to read site documentation, single line diagrams, rack elevations and network diagrams and judge whether they hold up.
• Comfortable running a process: owning the timeline, chasing people and closing items out.
• Clear, direct writing that a commercial team can act on.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience at a neocloud, colocation provider, data center developer or hyperscaler doing site reviews, commissioning or deployments.
• Mechanical or electrical engineering background, or deep enterprise IT infrastructure experience.
• Familiarity with GPU cluster builds, InfiniBand fabrics and liquid cooling.
• Vendor or site due diligence in a commercial setting, or exposure to infrastructure or private equity diligence.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
• Health coverage, free meals and additional benefits.
