Descripción de la vacante

Mistral is building a sovereign AI cloud for Europe, and the role leads the Compute Platform team from day one. You will hire, coach, review performance, and steer architecture while staying close to code in Go and Linux environments.

You will own isolation, security boundaries, and scale initiatives for thousands of sandboxed environments, shaping the runtime that AI agents rely on and guiding a high-caliber engineering squad.

Formación

• 2+ years of real people leadership: managed engineers, hired, coached, and grew them.
• Deep Linux internals: namespaces, cgroups, seccomp, virtualization.
• Shipped production systems in Go, not dabbling.
• Understand network isolation at the packet level, not just firewall rules.
• 8+ years building backend or infrastructure systems.
• Partnered with product, design, and business teams to ship software.
• Low-ego, team-first mindset and capacity to lead others.

Responsabilidades

• Build the isolation layer: microVMs or containers, namespaces, cgroups, seccomp, snapshot and restore.
• Own the security boundary. Customers run code they didn't write and can't fully trust – your systems make that safe.
• Scale to fleets: creation latency, density, and lifecycle management for thousands of concurrent environments.
• Write Go alongside your team and own the architecture and the hardest implementation decisions.
• Grow the engineers, not just the software – set the standard for ownership and coach people past their comfort zone.
• Own people management for the team: hiring, performance, growth paths, and honest feedback.
• Partner with Product Managers to turn frontier research needs into shippable primitives.
