Odyssey is an AI lab pioneering interactive video models, aiming to power the next generation of gaming, film, education, social media, advertising, training, companionship, simulation, and entirely new applications. The business problem is to build and scale the systems that bring these interactive video models to life in real products used by millions.
Requirements
- experience in large-scale machine learning systems, distributed training, performance optimization, or model deployment.
- Deeply technical and hands-on: you find energy in writing code, optimizing kernels, and making systems faster, more reliable, and more elegant.
- Comfortable operating in areas without precedent, creating tools, frameworks, and patterns as you go.
Responsibilities
- Build and scale the training and inference systems that power Odyssey’s interactive video models, from large-scale distributed pipelines to real-time serving and optimization.
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with researchers to prototype new architectures, diagnose and improve model behavior, and bring ideas from paper to production.
- Design high-performance data and compute systems for video generation and control, ensuring rapid iteration and efficient use of large-scale resources.
- Develop tools, metrics, and visualizations that help the team understand how models behave and evolve over time.
- Collaborate closely with product engineers to integrate Odyssey’s models into live, interactive user experiences that showcase new forms of generative media.
- Move fast and iterate often.
- Contribute to shaping Odyssey’s engineering culture: pragmatic, fast-moving, research-driven, and always oriented toward what’s possible next.
Other
- We’re looking for engineers who love the craft of building: people who write elegant, scalable machine learning code, care about performance, and understand the research well enough to shape it.
- You move fluidly between modeling and systems, are unafraid to tackle ambiguous technical challenges, and take pride in building the infrastructure and tools that make breakthroughs possible.
- You’re excited to help bring Odyssey’s interactive video models to life in real products used by millions.
- Motivated by bridging research and product. You care as much about experimentation and insight as about performance and polish.
- Thrives in small, collaborative teams where autonomy, clarity, and speed matter.
- Passionate about building the next generation of generative and interactive media. You are excited to help define how people create, play, and communicate through AI video.
