About The Job

Mistral AI is seeking an Applied AI Engineer focused on DevOps to facilitate the adoption of its products among customers and collaborate with them to address complex technical challenges.

What you will do

• You’ll be responsible for onboarding customers on our products, providing guidance on deployment and integration, and ensuring the best production setup from the low‑level GPU stack up to infrastructure, back‑end and front‑end interfaces.
• You’ll work on deploying state‑of‑the‑art AI applications from consumer products to industrial use cases, driving with our customers a crucial technological transformation.
• You’ll work in collaboration with our researchers, other AI engineers, and product engineers on our most complex customer projects involving deployment, scaling, and contributing to our open‑source codebases for tasks such as inference and fine‑tuning.
• You’ll be involved in pre‑sales calls to understand potential clients' needs, challenges, and aspirations. You will provide technical guidance on our products and explain Mistral technologies to various stakeholders.

• Strong communication skills with an ability to explain complex technical concepts in simple terms to technical and non‑technical audiences.

Ideally you have

• Experience as a Customer Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Technical Product Manager.
• Familiarity with AI frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Contributions to open‑source projects, particularly in the space of DevOps or AI.
