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.
