albslabs
Albs is an AI research lab building real-time multimodal intelligence for machines, enabling them to see, hear, reason, and interact. We treat model architecture, inference, and runtime as one system. We are hiring several Staff- and Senior-level IC roles and are looking for experienced researchers and engineers, typically with a PhD and several years of research or industry experience, or an equivalent track record. We hire across the following areas:
- LLM Post-Training (RLHF, preference optimization, evals)
- Speech-to-Speech Models (incl. ASR and TTS)
- LLM Pre-Training (incl. model architectures and optimizers)
- Synthetic Data Generation (pipelines, filtering, data quality)

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.
