This is a freelance position based in Paris or Bordeaux, with 1 day of remote work per week.

Why Now, Why Mirakl

Generative AI and AI Agents are fundamentally reshaping commerce software and the way our teams work on a day to day basis.

At Mirakl, AI is becoming a core part of our product strategy. From Catalog Transformer and content generation to AI Agents and Agentic Commerce, we are building the next generation of commerce software. And we have the same ambition for our teams around AI products and adoption.
