About sovrgn

sovrgn is the sovereign Plan B for AI. Intelligence has become a metered, dispatched, globally-shippable commodity — a second energy market stacked on the first. We run it like one: ask for a capability, not a vendor, and sovrgn resolves the provider under your jurisdiction's law, with automatic failover and fail-closed residency.

It clears on merit order. It splits into firm and interruptible. It has a day-ahead price and a real-time one, and it prices by where the work lands. If that sentence reads like home, keep going — you already speak this market.

Australia's instance is live; the AloomU cluster is its sovereign-silicon backstop. The other national instances open next, and each one needs someone to run it.

The book you ran

The NEM: five regional reference prices, 5-minute settlement, FCAS markets, and price caps that can swing a portfolio in a single interval. You've managed a cap-and-collar position and watched a spike that paid for the quarter — or the one that didn't.

5-minute settlement, merit-order dispatch, and firm vs interruptible capacity are exactly how a sovrgn instance routes inference: firm reserved ahead, spot cleared on a ~5-minute cadence across regional prices, cheapest capacity first. You won't be retraining — you'll be running a market you already know against a new commodity.

What you'll do

• Take Australia's live instance and scale it — it's the furthest along, with AloomU as the in-jurisdiction sovereign-silicon backstop.
• Own the buy side: grow demand across Australian business, government, and critical infrastructure.
• Own the sell side: bring more in-jurisdiction capacity onto the market — sovereign silicon, spare GPU, firm and floating.
• Run the market itself: firm vs floating pricing, failover chains, and the residency rules that keep AU data onshore.
• Be the face of sovrgn in Australia — AEMO-adjacent bodies, insurers, and the regulators shaping AI-continuity rules.

What we're looking for

• You have personally carried a NEM power or gas book — a trading desk, a gentailer, a retailer, an aggregator/VPP, or a large industrial load.
• Fluent in the NEM: 5-minute dispatch and settlement, FCAS, regional pricing, price caps/floors, and the cap-and-collar hedge market.
• You settle debates with numbers. Merit order, regional basis, and the cost of certainty are second nature.
• Commercial range: you can talk to a CIO, a developer, and a regulator in the same week.
• AI-native or AI-curious. You don't need to write the router — you need to understand the market it runs.
• AU-based. Bonus if you already know the AloomU / sovereign-compute story.

Bonus points

• Origination/structuring — PPAs, offtake, firming deals.
• VPP, DER-aggregation, or grid-operations (AEMO) background.
• You've built a desk or a book from scratch, not just inherited one.

Why this desk

• First in seat for your market. You're not inheriting a playbook — you're writing it, the way you always wished your old desk had let you.
• A market you already understand, against a new commodity. The mechanics are the ones you traded: merit order, firm vs interruptible, day-ahead/real-time, locational pricing. We just changed what's being dispatched.
• Direct line to the founders. Decisions get made in hours, not weeks.
• Equity for the right person.
