About The Job
Mistral AI is seeking an Applied AI Engineer to facilitate the adoption of its products among customers and collaborate with them to address complex technical challenges.
The Applied AI team is Mistral's customer-facing technical organization. We work directly with enterprise clients from pre-sales through implementation to deploy cutting-edge AI solutions that deliver measurable business impact.
Our team combines deep ML expertise with strong customer engagement skills, operating like startup CTOs who own end-to-end project execution. By joining the team you'll bridge the gap between cutting‑edge AI research and real‑world enterprise applications, ensuring our solutions are robust, scalable, and aligned with both customer needs and Mistral's technological vision.
What You Will Do
* Individually help deploy use cases with significant business impact across various industries.
* Work on state-of-the-art GenAI applications from consumer products to industrial use cases, driving crucial technological transformation with customers.
* Collaborate with researchers, other AI engineers, and product engineers on complex customer projects, including fine‑tuning, state-of-the-art LLM applications, and contributing to open‑source codebases for inference and fine‑tuning.
* Participate in pre‑sales calls to understand potential clients' needs, challenges, and aspirations; provide technical guidance on our products and explain Mistral technologies to stakeholders.
* Collaborate with product and science teams to continuously improve product and model capabilities based on customer feedback.
How We Work In Applied AI
* We care about people and outputs.
* What matters is what you ship, not the time you spend on it.
* Bureaucracy is where urgency goes to vanish. You talk to whoever you need to talk to. The best idea wins, whether it comes from a principal engineer or someone in their first week.
* Always ask why. The best solutions come from deep understanding, not from copying what worked before.
* We say what we mean. Feedback is direct, timely, and given because we care.
* No politics. Low ego, high standards.
* We embrace an unstructured environment and find joy in it.
About You
* Fluent in English.
* At least 2 years as a technical individual contributor (data scientist or software engineer) on AI-based products.
* Proven experience in AI or machine learning product implementation with APIs, back‑end and front‑end interfaces.
* Experience in fine‑tuning LLMs, tackling advanced RAG or agentic use cases.
* Deep understanding of concepts and algorithms underlying machine learning and LLMs.
* Strong technical coding skills in Python.
* Excellent communication skills with ability to explain complex technical concepts to technical and non‑technical audiences.
Ideally you have
* Contribution to open‑source projects, particularly in the space of LLMs.
* Experience as a Customer Engineer, Forward‑Deployed Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Technical Product Manager.
* Experience with deep learning using PyTorch.
Why join us?
You’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of AI adoption in enterprises, work with a world‑class team, and contribute to open‑source projects that impact millions. If you’re excited about leading technical innovation and solving real‑world challenges with AI, we’d love to hear from you!
