Engineering

Research Internship

Odyssey is looking for talented research interns for 2026. We offer the opportunity for PhD students to collaborate with our machine learning research teams, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in state-of-the-art visual AI. You will define and pursue a research project which advances state-of-the-art general-purpose world models. You'll have the support of Odyssey's research and engineering teams, data, and computational resources. We encourage seeing the impact of your research in the models we ship publicly! Who you are You should be progressing towards a PhD or similar graduate degree, with some examples of research you're able to share. You also should be able to work from one of our offices in Palo Alto or London. The internship may be done any time during the year.

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.

Engineering

Member of Technical Staff, Infrastructure Engineer

We are looking for an engineer who thrives on building the engines that make groundbreaking research and products possible. You think in systems, love performance, and get energy from turning theoretical bottlenecks into beautifully efficient reality. You're excited to design and support infrastructure not just for scale, but for speed, creativity, and discovery. You want to build the compute substrate that lets Odyssey's world models imagine, act, and interact in real time.

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.

Operations

Controller

Odyssey is looking for a Controller to build and lead the accounting function as we enter our next stage of growth. Based in Palo Alto, this is a hands-on leadership role responsible for creating a scalable financial foundation for a rapidly growing Frontier AI company. The Controller will own close, financial reporting, U.S. GAAP, audit, accounting policy, and controls, while building the systems and processes required to scale, including our systems, chart of accounts, cost centers, project accounting, and procurement infrastructure. This person will partner closely with FP&A and leadership on forecasting, financings and board reporting. We're looking for an experienced accounting leader with strong technical depth and a builder mentality. The ideal candidate has led accounting at a high-growth technology company and is equally comfortable designing the organization we'll need tomorrow and getting into the details to solve problems today. The role This is a builder role. You'll own the integrity of Odyssey's financials while designing the accounting organization, systems, processes, and controls we need to scale. You'll be equally comfortable getting into the details of a close today and building the infrastructure that allows the company to operate at substantially greater scale tomorrow. You'll partner closely with the Head of Operations and leadership team and work across Finance, People, Legal, Operations, and the broader company.

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.

Engineering

Executive Business Partner

Odyssey is seeking an Executive Business Partner to our CTO. This is a high-trust, hands-on role for someone who is exceptionally organized, proactive, low-ego, and energized by solving problems. You'll own the details that keep the CTO operating at his best, while also helping extend his capacity through thoughtful execution and operational support. You'll join a frontier AI company across Palo Alto, London, and Zurich. This is a front-row seat to company-building, with the opportunity to have an outsized impact on how the company operates.

Special Projects

You'll work closely with Odyssey's CEO and Chief of Staff on some of the company's most important priorities. Your initial focus will be helping Odyssey prepare for and execute its next fundraise. You'll help navigate the venture landscape, develop our investor strategy, and drive the fundraising process from preparation through close. Over time, the role will expand into other high-priority strategic and operational projects across the company. Some 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 develop a clear point of view, find the right people, and follow through.
