Talent Partner

Albert helps chemists change the world by building technology that understands how they work. As chemists ourselves, we know what it’s like when software doesn’t work the way you do — stuck with systems built by people who never spent a day at the bench. That’s why we created Albert OS, the first AI-native operating system for materials science, designed to remove every obstacle between curiosity and discovery. We're looking for an ambitious and results-driven Talent Partner to join our growing team. This role, with a focus on building and scaling Albert's talent acquisition function, will play a key part in driving how we find, attract, and close the people who will define what Albert becomes.
