Explore a career with us

At our offices in Palo Alto, London, and Zurich

Engineering

Member of Technical Staff, Applied Research

We hire deeply technical staff working in world models, video generation, multimodal, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and adjacent fields. Applied Research sits where the models meet real applications. Whether you're building from scratch, scaling training runs, or working on inference, we hire people who can take an idea and make it real.

VP, Engineering

You'll lead our ML platform and infrastructure group, spanning our data platform, evaluation systems and tooling, and compute. This leader will serve as a trusted partner to the founders and stakeholders across product and technology, and will report directly to our CTO and co-founder.

Engineering

Member of Technical Staff, Data Engineering

Data is fast becoming one of the biggest bottlenecks in building world models. Our models are only as good as the data behind them, and getting that data right is one of the hardest and most important problems we have. We're looking for a data engineer who wants to be the person figuring it out: building and curating the large-scale multimodal datasets our models train on, across video, robotics, and audio. The work spans research and infrastructure. Some days you'll be tuning the platform that processes millions of hours of video and audio. Other days you'll be in the data itself: pulling out signals, improving captions, and working with researchers on what goes into the training mix. We don't treat those as separate jobs, so we want someone comfortable doing both. We care more about how you think about data than about your years of experience or publication record. You might have started in data engineering and moved toward research, or started in research or data science and moved toward engineering. Either way, you like working on data and you've done hands-on work with video and/or audio.

Member of Technical Staff, Core Model Engineering

The right person will have a deep interest in improving machine learning algorithms. Real-time world model simulation is a cutting edge research area that is not yet mature. You will be working at the cusp of what's possible. Most new experiments in this area will fail, your focus will be on maximally learning from failed experiments to increase the chances of eventual success.

Operations

Technical Recruiter

You're a Technical Recruiter who's built for quality and speed. You'll own full-cycle recruiting across a mix of technical and non-technical roles, including Engineering, Data Engineering and Product. This role suits someone who's comfortable jumping between hiring domains, managing ambiguity, moving quickly while also maintaining professionalism and a high talent bar.

Special Projects

You'll work closely with Odyssey's CEO and Chief of Staff on whatever matters most to the company at a given moment. Some projects will be strategic and externally visible. Others will be hands-on and operational. We're looking for someone who enjoys making sense of messy problems, and who can be trusted to find the right people, develop a clear point of view, and see the work through. You'll have a close-up view of what it takes to build a frontier AI company. You'll learn how the technology, product, and business fit together, and you'll have a real hand in where we go next.

Engineering

People Operations Partner

We're looking for a People Operations Partner to own the systems, processes, and data that keep our People function running at scale. You'll lead our HRIS strategy end-to-end, implementation, adoption, and ongoing maintenance, manage our immigration program, and build the analytics and dashboards leadership relies on for workforce decisions. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who thrives on turning messy processes into scalable systems.

Member of Operations Staff, IT Manager

Odyssey Systems is looking for its first dedicated IT owner. You'll be the go-to person for everything technology across our Palo Alto office, and provide remote support and standards for our London and Zurich offices. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: you'll set IT policy, run our systems, and keep our rapidly growing team productive and secure.

Product

Member of Product Staff, Technical Product Manager

We're looking for a Technical Product Manager to own how Odyssey's technology becomes a coherent, usable, and powerful product in the hands of developers and partners. You will define and drive the roadmap across product experience, platform capabilities, and applied research; translate real-world usage into clear priorities; and ensure the company is building the right things, in the right order. You will operate with significant scope and trust, working directly with the leadership and partnering closely with research and engineering. This role requires strong product judgment, execution discipline, and comfort operating with ambiguity. The right person thinks in systems, has strong opinions, and can hold both people and plans accountable.
