The rules are different for members of the European Economic Area + EU vs those who are not.

Is Albania really even in Schengen? At least the wiki page says it's not, but has some visa-free provisions with Schengen member states. The Schengen status isn't relevant when it comes to working though.

If you want to be legal, you have to have a work visa that is sponsored by your employer.

You can read about immigration at www.udi.no. They have some information in Albanian, but only for those seeking asylum:

They have information in English as well:
