Albatross is a diverse team of scientists, engineers, and builders across Europe. We believe in rigorous science, fast iteration, and a culture of ownership and customer obsession.
Our values are the foundation of everything we do. They guide how we make decisions, build relationships, and deliver results — for our customers, our partners, and each other.
At Albatross, we build products based on customer needs that can scale to all customers in the long run. We are laser-focused on delivering the best products and don't engage in bespoke solutions. We do not sacrifice long-term value for short-term results.
We operate with urgency and purpose. By learning quickly and refining continuously, we ensure our customers receive the highest possible performance. We create an environment where calculated risk-taking is encouraged and innovation is supported at every level.
We believe clarity is a competitive advantage. From product design to team structure, we pursue simplicity in all things — precise capabilities, a focused value proposition, and lean, high-calibre teams. Our measure of success is the tangible value we create for our customers. Everything else is secondary.
Every person at Albatross takes responsibility for the success of the whole company. We act with initiative, hold ourselves accountable, and are genuinely invested in the outcomes of our customers and colleagues.
We support flexible work arrangements that enable employees to perform at their best, regardless of location.
We are committed to building a communication culture that is transparent, asynchronous-friendly, and inclusive — so that location is never a limitation. Still, our main office at Dufourstrasse 47 in Zurich is where the team can drop in, gather for meetings, and come together to celebrate milestones.
We build with Python and PyTorch for machine learning, TypeScript for our platform and frontend, and Rust for performance-critical systems.
At Albatross, scientific rigour is central to how we build.
Our scientists are researchers first. They are expected to stay current with the literature, produce original contributions to their field, and apply that knowledge directly to what we develop. Continuous scientific growth is not incidental to the role — it is a core part of it. In practice, this means routinely submitting papers to conferences like RecSys, SIGIR, and KDD.

Every project delivered, deal closed, and operation running smoothly moves the needle. You'll have the autonomy to own your work end-to-end, and the visibility to see exactly how it shapes the company's direction.
We believe every step is a chance to get to know each other and should feel like a conversation. The process may look a little different depending on the role, but we always keep it transparent and respectful of everyone's time.
