Data & Technology Lead
Own, Build, and Deliver the Intelligence Layer of London’s Ambitious New Mobility Platform
About Odysse
Odysse blends machine learning with operational expertise to deliver a smarter ride-hailing experience in London. With a fully managed fleet of zero-emission vehicles and professional, hourly-employed drivers, we operate a tightly integrated platform designed for operational precision and real-time optimization.
We use data not just to inform decisions, but to drive them. From live fleet deployment and ETA prediction to demand forecasting and routing strategy, we’re solving deeply practical, high-impact problems at city scale. We’re hiring a Data & Technology Lead who’s ready to define, lead, and execute our data strategy, while building and delivering with a globally distributed team.
What you’ll do:
* Define, lead, and execute the data science strategy across product, platform, and operations
* Build, manage, and deliver with diverse technical teams across the UK, India, Brazil, and the US
* Personally lead the development and rollout of ML models in production, from fleet optimization and demand prediction to pricing and routing
* Work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering and operations to operationalize insights and build feedback loops
* Own technology & data infrastructure, and model lifecycle practices: design, build, QA, monitor, and iterate
* Build a strong delivery cadence, set technical priorities, and clear blockers to keep teams moving fast
* Translate between business needs and analytical approaches, and roll up your sleeves to bridge gaps when needed
Who you are:
* 6+ years of experience in data science and technology, with at least 2 years building and leading high-performing teams
* Comfortable being hands-on and going deep technically while driving team execution at scale
* Experienced in deploying machine learning models in real-world, time-sensitive environments
* Strong Python and SQL skills, and fluency in modern ML tooling and data infrastructure
* Excellent problem-solver with strong instincts for operational systems
* Clear communicator who can navigate ambiguity and drive clarity across functions
* Background in ride hailing, mobility, logistics, or dynamic marketplaces is a plus
Why join Odysse?
* Build and run the data engine behind a fully integrated, zero-emission mobility platform
* Work in a fast-paced, in-person team that values execution, ownership, and collaboration
* Join a start-up with real traction, global engineering reach, at SEED-stage momentum
* Make an immediate and measurable impact on London’s transportation future
Ready to lead by doing and build what others only theorize? We’d love to hear from you.
