Albs | Freiburg, Germany | ONSITE or HYBRID | Full-time | Member of Technical Staff (Senior / Staff)
Albs is an AI research lab in stealth, building real-time multimodal models (text, speech, vision) that run on-device. We treat model architecture, inference and runtime as one system, so our models hit tight budgets for latency, power and hardware cost. We are well funded, have dedicated compute for large-scale training, and publish at top venues.
Small team of senior researchers and engineers. Default is 3 days a week in our Freiburg office; remote with regular visits is possible.
We're adding a few senior people in:
- Research: LLM pre-training, post-training, speech, vision-language models, model adaptation
- Engineering: inference and hardware optimization (C++/Rust, CUDA, SIMD, NPUs), data pipelines (text and multimodal), agentic platform
Research roles: typically a PhD plus several years of experience, or an equivalent track record. Engineering roles: several years of hands-on experience in the area.
Competitive salary plus equity, time to publish and present, flat hierarchy, excellent coffee. We share details on the company, team and backing in the first call.
Apply: [email protected] with your CV and a link to work you're proud of (paper, code, blog). Put your area of interest in the subject line.
