ODIN, a Seed-stage company backed by Soma Capital and Y Combinator, is hiring across software engineering, legal operations, growth, and client management. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in New York, the 15-person firm builds enterprise software designed to manage workforce risk, automate compliance, and track site operations.
While the company initially built software to manage workforce risk and safety on enterprise construction projects, its open roles highlight an operational platform managing investment deals, wire transfers, and syndicate workflows. The team is currently expanding from hubs in London and the United States, adding specialized contributors who use artificial intelligence tools to automate manual services workflows.
Founder Backgrounds from Digital Health and Enterprise Tech
ODIN is led by co-founders who previously worked together at Renew Health. Chief Executive Officer Douglas Carney co-founded the business in February 2020 after serving as a founding software engineer at Renew Health from 2017 to 2020. Carney graduated from Rutgers University with a bachelor's degree in computer science.
Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Mike Verderese also joined in February 2020 following a tenure as a senior software engineer at Renew Health. Based in Philadelphia, Verderese previously co-founded Tag, which was acquired in 2015, and holds a computer science degree from Rutgers University. Co-Founder and Head of Product Dawn Williamson, based in New York, previously worked as chief experience officer at Renew Health and graduated from Arizona State University.
Earlier co-founders include Radu Mazilu, Maria Nicolae, and Cristina Bunea, who co-founded the company through Y Combinator's S19 batch under the name Listle.
Site Safety and Venture Media
Job site safety and compliance remain central to the construction sector. In an episode of SafeTech Voices Ep 2 – Robots, Radar & Vision Tech Changing Safety on the Contech Alliance channel, industry participants outlined the operational incentives for tracking site safety data: "A worker can come to a job site, have a great job, be able to work safely, and at the end of the day, go home and see their family. The insurance companies can then pay less out in claims because there's less incidents on the job site and the job site can be completed on time because now people aren't having incidents to slow down the job site."
Alongside its core industry footprint, ODIN hosts venture content on its media channels. In Robots Everywhere: How Also Capital Bets on the Physical World | Mike Annunziata, Also Capital, interviewer Dan spoke with Mike Annunziata, partner at Also Capital, about early-stage underwriting, opportunity costs for institutional limited partners, and managing bias during deal diligence.
Hiring Across Engineering, Deal Operations, and Growth
ODIN lists seven open roles on Zero G Talent, spanning London office requirements, hybrid flexibility, and remote options across the United Kingdom.
On the engineering team, the Founding Software Engineer role will own parts of a regulated platform that transfers money across multiple jurisdictions using Go. The engineer will build non-trivial production systems, shape AI-centered development workflows, and work either in a London hybrid model or remotely from elsewhere in the UK with quarterly London trips.
The company is also filling several operations positions focused on replacing human-driven service workflows with software. The Founding Operations & Systems Lead (£90,000–£120,000) will triage operational issues, reduce costs per deal, and direct the deal operations team while spending more time in Claude Code than in spreadsheets or email. Similarly, the Founding Product Builder, Operations (£90,000–£120,000) will use Claude Code to rebuild operations into automated software solutions.
For legal infrastructure, the Founding Legal Operations Lead will manage post-close deal legals, governance events, transfers, and document reviews while building agents in Claude Code to automate manual work. Meanwhile, the Graduate Venture Operations Associate (12 Month FTC) (£30,000) will manage the closing process on the platform, review legal filings, calculate fees, coordinate wire transfers, and liaise with clients from the London office.
Commercial roles focus on scaling syndicate leads, angels, and fund managers. The Client Partner (£65,000–£75,000) handles the entire sales lifecycle from inbound lead to closed transaction. Working directly with co-founder Paddy in the founders' office, the Founding Growth Associate (£60,000–£70,000) will organize founder dinners and pitch nights, develop partnerships, and use AI tools to scale platform participation.
