We are French and American by birth and global by nature. We are backed by partners who share our vision, including Eclipse, Khosla Ventures, Bpifrance, and HSG, alongside Eric Schmidt, Xavier Niel, Daniela Rus, and Vladlen Koltun. Our people work across the Bay Area and Europe, building the engine that will teach robots to do real work in the real world. We recently unveiled Eno, our wheeled, dexterous robot powered by our GENE foundation model, and we are starting to put it to work with real customers. ## The Role There's more real work happening at Genesis each week than anyone outside the building gets to see. With a launch ahead and researchers and engineers watching closely, we want a steady, credible record of it: the lab, the robots, the people, and the days between demos. The In-House Creator is our production engine, spotting the story, shooting it, and finishing it. You'll work with the Social Media Manager, who owns strategy and the calendar, and with founders and engineers, to publish often without giving up the premium feel. ## What You'll Do - Capture everyday life at Genesis, from late test runs to whiteboard sessions to lunch, and turn it into a steady pipeline of material for the brand accounts. - Film robots and lab work safely and closely enough that the footage shows real capability, favoring unbroken takes on real tasks over staged moments. - Shoot, produce, and edit video end to end, handling camera, lighting, audio, pacing, music, and the final cut, with each version built natively for its platform and X first. - Develop recurring formats, such as lab updates, engineer explainers, and first-attempt robot reels, that the team can count on and the audience comes back for. - Put founders, researchers, and engineers on camera, helping people who'd rather be debugging come across clearly and like themselves. - Cover launches, events, and lab visits, and turn customer deployments into video stories as robots go into production. - Build a searchable footage library and a capture system with shot lists and filming guides so engineers and field teams bring back usable footage when you're not there. - Work with the Social Media Manager on what ships, when, and in what form, supplying both the raw and finished material behind the calendar. - Review every robot clip for accuracy by labeling autonomy level and playback speed, flagging any edit that changes how a result reads, and holding customer and unreleased work until it's cleared. - Keep the bar high while publishing often, deciding what stays inside, what gets cut, and what earns a place on the brand accounts. ## What You'll Bring - Professional experience (5+ years) shooting, producing, and editing video, with a portfolio that shows both what you captured and how you cut it. - Hands-on craft with camera, lighting, and audio, including fast setups in tight lab spaces and upkeep of the kit you shoot with. - Fluency in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, CapCut, or similar, plus a working sense of hooks in the first seconds, pacing, and sound for short-form video. - Speed paired with taste, meaning the ability to turn a moment around the same day without it looking rushed. - Comfort on camera and a presence that fits Genesis: curious, credible, and understated. - Genuine curiosity about robotics and the patience to work around engineers, test schedules, and hardware that doesn't always cooperate. - Safety awareness around moving robots and active test areas, and the habit of asking before stepping into a work cell. - Sound judgment about what's ready to publish, including when a clip overstates what a robot can do or reveals something that should stay inside. - Bonus: An existing following whose tone and audience align with Genesis. - Bonus: Motion graphics, 3D, or AI-assisted creative tools that help you move faster without lowering the bar. - Bonus: Prior work in robotics, hardware, or another field where a lab demo and a field deployment are very different things to film. ## About Genesis ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Genesis AI is a full-stack robotics company building general-purpose robots with human-level dexterity and intelligence, powered by its own foundation model and hardware. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage – $105M raised) - **Headquarters**: Paris, France (with offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and London) - **Founded**: 2024 (emerged from stealth in July 2025) - **Founders**: Zhou Xian (CEO), Théophile Gervet (President & Co-founder), Yi-Ling Qiao (Co-founder), Tsun-Hsuan Wang (Co-founder) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Robotics Engineering / General-Purpose Robotics - **Target customers**: Enterprises in manufacturing, laboratories, hospitals, and logistics; future expansion into homes. - **Mission**: “Build the world’s most capable robots that unlock new possibilities for humans.” ## Products & Services - **Eno (General-Purpose Robot)**: A full-body robot designed to operate reliably in factories, labs, hospitals, and homes. Driven by the GENE foundation model, it features 20 active, back-drivable degrees of freedom in its hands – matching human size and dexterity. - **GENE-26.5 (Foundation Model)**: The AI model that powers Eno. It understands goals, reasons through changing conditions, and completes tasks end-to-end. Trained on massive human-based internet video data and proprietary simulation. - **Data Collection Glove**: A lightweight, sensor-loaded glove worn by humans to collect high-quality manipulation data in real-world settings (e.g., lab technicians, manufacturing workers). This glove bridges the “embodiment gap” and feeds the model with human skill data. - **Simulation System**: A proprietary simulation environment that accelerates model training and evaluation, reducing the iteration bottleneck. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$105M** (Seed round, July 2025) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Eclipse (co-lead), Khosla Ventures (co-lead), Bpifrance, HSG; individual investors Eric Schmidt, Xavier Niel, Daniela Rus, Vladlen Koltun. Hardware manufacturing partner: Wuji Tech (China). - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew from stealth to ~53–60 employees across Paris, Bay Area, and London (monthly growth +16% on LinkedIn). - 29 active job postings as of mid-2026, with a +262.5% monthly increase in openings. - Demonstrated a wide range of manipulation tasks (cooking, piano, Rubik’s cube, lab work) in public demos. - In talks with multiple customers for commercial deployment in pharma and manufacturing. ## Competitive Advantages - **Full-stack integration**: Genesis controls both the AI model and the robotic hardware, enabling tighter optimization and faster iteration than companies that only do software or hardware. - **Human-like dexterity**: The robotic hand matches human size, shape, and 20 degrees of freedom, allowing direct transfer of human demonstration data without an “embodiment gap.” - **Data flywheel**: The combination of a low-friction data collection glove, simulation, and egocentric video creates a scalable pipeline for building a “human skill library.” - **World-class team**: Founders and early engineers have backgrounds from Mistral AI, NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, Apple Intelligence, Unity, Epic, and leading robotics labs (Berkeley, CMU). ## Strategic Focus - **Go full stack**: Continue integrating model, hardware, and data collection to deliver a complete general-purpose robot. - **Commercial rollout**: Target early customers in pharmaceutical labs, manufacturing, and other industrial settings where dexterous manipulation is critical. - **Scale data collection**: Expand the use of the data glove (both internally and with third-party partners) to rapidly grow the model’s skill repertoire. - **Global hiring**: Aggressively grow the team across Paris, Bay Area, and London, especially in ML, simulation, rendering, and robotics engineering. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Values include candor, responsibility, limitless ambition, and a joyful journey. The team is described as multicultural, optimistic, and pragmatic. - **Work model**: Hybrid/office-based presence in Paris, San Francisco Bay Area, and London. No explicit remote policy mentioned, but the company emphasizes in-person collaboration. - **Engineering culture**: Builders get to work on the hardest problems in robotics and AI – from foundation models to hardware design to data systems. The team includes pioneers of generative simulation, Diffusion Policy, and GPU compilers. - **Notable perks**: The chance to shape a category-defining general-purpose robot; close collaboration with world-class investors and advisors; fast-growing startup with significant resources ($105M seed). ## Sources 1.
