About the role

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.

Optimize models that will be used in real-time by hundreds of thousands of users.
Design and implement distributed training strategies to reduce training time and resource consumption on large GPU clusters.
Partner with our elite team of ML researchers and engineers to ensure model architectures are highly performant from conception.
Develop sophisticated tools to identify performance bottlenecks and stability issues in both training and serving environments.
Pioneer innovative approaches, frameworks, and system designs that enhance performance metrics across our model development and inference infrastructure.

8+ years of software engineering experience, with significant work in ML performance.
Track record of owning projects end to end.
Problem-solving mindset with the ability to acquire new skills as needed.
Proficiency with PyTorch (or TF/JAX) and Triton as well as NVIDIA GPU ecosystems and optimization stacks.

Deep insight into modern machine learning architectures with a natural instinct for performance optimization, particularly distributed training and inference.

Odyssey https://odyssey.ml 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.
