About Albert
What is Albert?
Albert (Learn By Doing, Inc.) is a K-12 practice and assessment platform — adaptive question banks across reading, writing, math, science and social studies for grades 5-12, plus test prep spanning AP, SAT, ACT and Regents. Founded in Chicago around 2013, its "tens of thousands of rigorously created questions" serve individual students, teachers and entire school districts, with a mission stated plainly on its careers site: "Empower educators to realize the potential in all learners."
Where will I work?
From home: Albert is remote-first, with roles posted out of Chicago and worked across the US — engineering, sales and customer-facing school-success teams alike.
What is the Albert team like?
Around 90 educators-turned-builders and builders-turned-educators — an edtech company small enough that everyone knows the product deeply and large enough to serve districts at scale.
Work-Life Balance
Albert's Friday policy is permanent and double-sourced from its own materials. Its job descriptions say: "Every Albert team member enjoys permanent half-day Fridays, so every weekend is a long weekend." Its careers page repeats it without qualification: "Half-day Fridays. We believe in work-life balance—that's why we offer Half-Day Fridays!" A flexible vacation policy and paid parental leave sit alongside.

- Permanent half-day Fridays — every weekend is a long weekend

How we verified this listing
All four live postings on Albert's own careers site carried the permanent-half-day-Fridays sentence when we listed it, and the careers page's benefits list states the same policy with no seasonal qualifier — the double-sourcing we require before tagging a year-round Friday schedule. Albert runs its hiring on its own domain (careers.albert.io), which is exactly the primary-source surface our scraper now reads directly. As with this whole cohort, review-site ratings were unreachable at add time — disclosed plainly; the listing rests on Albert's own written, repeated commitments.
