About the role

AI Residency program at Odyssey aiming to onboard individuals with strong ML foundations to work embedded in research pods on live projects related to world models, multimodal generation, robotics, and multi-agent systems.

Responsibilities

  • Work embedded within one of our research pods on a live project, whether that's world simulation, multimodal generation, robotics, or multi-agent systems
  • Take on real, scoped pieces of our roadmap under the guidance of senior researchers and engineers, not isolated side projects
  • Run experiments, build and debug training and evaluation pipelines, and iterate quickly on ideas with real compute behind them
  • Contribute to the models we ship, and see your work show up in systems used by real people
  • Learn the full loop of frontier research: hypothesis, implementation, experimentation, and honest evaluation of what worked and what didn’t

Qualifications

  • Post-MS or equivalent experience, with some demonstrated evidence of ML research ability (coursework, a thesis, prior internships, competitive results, open-source contributions, or similar)
  • Strong fundamentals in machine learning and software engineering, and genuinely fast at picking up new subfields
  • Not necessarily experienced yet in world models, generative video, multimodal learning, robotics, or multi-agent systems, but hungry to build that expertise on the job
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-moving, high-ownership environment; you don't need everything specified for you to make progress
  • Able to work in person at one of our offices in Palo Alto, London, or Zurich for the duration of the residency
  • Genuinely motivated by Odyssey's mission: discovering the GPT-3 moment for world models
