About the role
About Pluto
Pluto is building the financial infrastructure for superintelligence. Compute is the bottleneck of the AI economy, but it is extremely opaque, volatile, and difficult to finance. Pluto is the first exchange with a materially complete designation from the CFTC to make compute a liquid, tradable asset class.
This is a chance to build the defining financial asset class of AI from the ground-up.
The Role
This is a dual-mandate role. You will serve as the financial backbone of a CFTC-designated clearinghouse and exchange (DCM/DCO) and own everything that a regulated entity requires from a financial controls and accounting standpoint while functioning as our senior strategic finance partner for the compute side of the business: structuring GPU reservation contracts, managing relationships with neoclouds, and building the financial architecture that makes compute a tradable, financeable asset class.
Responsibilities
Clearinghouse and Exchange Finance (DCM/DCO)
- Own all financial reporting, accounting, and internal controls required of a CFTC-regulated DCM/DCO, including net capital computation, financial resource requirements, and regulatory capital buffers
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling across the exchange and clearinghouse entities; own the monthly close and board reporting package
- Oversee cash flow management, treasury operations, and capital structure — ensuring the firm maintains required financial resources under CFTC Core Principles at all times
- Serve as the primary finance interface with the CFTC, NFA, and external auditors; own the annual financial statements and any required regulatory filing
