Odyssey is an AI lab pioneering general world models: causal, multimodal systems that learn to predict and interact with the world over long horizons. This foundational technology promises to revolutionize robotics, science, healthcare, education, gaming, defense, and beyond.
Odyssey’s founders previously pioneered the most complex application of physical AI: self-driving cars. They’ve now brought together a world-class research team from DeepMind, Tesla, Waymo, Meta, Apple, and Wayve, who have made significant contributions to language models (DeepMind Gemini), video models (DeepMind Veo), world models (Wayve GAIA), and autonomous systems (Tesla FSD).
Odyssey has raised significant venture capital from GV, Amazon, AMD, EQT, NVIDIA, Natural Capital, In-Q-Tel, Elad Gil, Jeff Dean, Guillermo Rauch, Garry Tan, Kyle Vogt, and researchers from OpenAI, DeepMind, MSL, Recursive, and Thinking Machines.
What we're looking forYou'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.
What you'll doManage full-cycle recruiting for a diverse mix of roles, spanning Engineering, Product, Data Engineering and other technical functions
