Product Lead

About us

Compute is becoming a financial asset class. Hyperscalers will spend roughly $700B on AI infrastructure this year, and almost none of it can be hedged, financed, or traded the way any other industrial input can. We're fixing that.

Compute Desk builds the market infrastructure for GPU compute: reference price indices on H100, H200, B200 and B300 rental markets (Compute Signal), a platform for physical capacity trading (Compute Trader), and the physical delivery and attestation layer that connects it all to regulated derivatives markets (Compute Clear).

In July we announced ComputeConnect with Architect Financial Technologies, the first exchange-for-physical network linking CFTC-regulated compute futures to real GPU capacity delivery.

We're a small team of people who have built exchanges, trading systems, and large-scale infrastructure. We move fast, argue in good faith, and ship things that haven't existed before.

The role

We're hiring our Product Lead to own the product from strategy through to shipped features. You'll sit at the intersection of markets, data and engineering: turning what compute buyers, providers and financial counterparties need into products they trust with real money. This is a hands-on role with a lot of ownership: you'll set direction, write the specs, and work daily with engineering and the commercial team to get things live.

What you'll do

• Own the product roadmap and set priorities based on customer needs, market structure and company goals.
• Talk to customers constantly — compute buyers, providers, traders and institutional partners — and turn what you learn into clear problems worth solving.
• Write sharp specs, and work with engineering and data to scope, sequence and ship.
• Shape how our index, pricing data and trading products are packaged, accessed (APIs, dashboards, data feeds) and adopted.
• Define the metrics that matter, track them, and use them to decide what to build next.
• Work with compliance and risk to make sure what we ship meets the standards expected of financial products.
• Partner with commercial and marketing on launches, positioning and customer feedback loops.
• Help build the product function as we grow, including hiring and the processes the team runs on.

What we're looking for

• [5+] years in product management, including ownership of a product or major product area end to end.
• Experience building products in fintech, trading, market data, exchanges, or infrastructure/cloud.
• Comfort with technical depth: you can work closely with engineers on APIs, data pipelines and system design.
• Strong quantitative skills and an instinct for using data to make decisions.
• A track record of talking to customers and translating messy needs into clear, prioritised work.
• Excellent written communication — your specs and updates are clear enough to act on without a meeting.
• Comfort with ambiguity and the pace of an early-stage company.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of the GPU / AI compute market, cloud pricing, or data-centre economics.
• Experience with derivatives, indices, benchmarks or other regulated financial products. How to apply
