About Albert
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. Backed by Index.
About the role
We care about you. Albert works hard to create a positive environment for our employees, and we think your life outside of work is important too. We work hard and we play hard. We’re always looking for humble, sharp, and creative folks to join the Albert team. If you think you might be a fit, please apply.
What they're looking for
- Lead end-to-end product development from problem definition through launch and iteration, working backwards from customer needs to form clear product conviction and shippable execution plans
- Drive rapid concept prototyping and validation — building and showing demos early and often, internally and externally, to test hypotheses and establish product-market fit with design partners and lighthouse customers
- Spend significant time with scientists, customers, and internal stakeholders to understand how they actually work — conducting hands-on user research and translating those insights into prioritized product decisions
- Partner deeply with engineering, design, and AI/ML teams to ship high-quality, intuitive, and reliable workflows, sweating the details of interaction models, UI behavior, performance, and adoption paths
- Collaborate closely with go-to-market, solutions, support, and forward-deployed teams to ensure product strategy reflects enterprise realities and addresses real customer pain points — not internal assumptions
- Navigate ambiguity and create structure where the right answer is not obvious — forming hypotheses, testing them quickly, and updating the approach when data demands it

Strategy & Delivery
- Define the vision, roadmap, and success metrics for your core product area — spanning applications such as Notebook, Worksheet, Tasks, and Inventory — prioritizing ruthlessly based on user impact, competitive dynamics, and data.

- Drive rapid concept prototyping and validation — building and showing demos early and often, internally and externally, to test hypotheses and establish product-market fit with design partners and lighthouse customers.
- Anticipate and shape the evolution of core applications toward agentic workflows, identifying where AI can materially improve how scientists work and sequencing capabilities into experiences customers will actually adopt.
