We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms.\nWe are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited.\nThe role\nAs an AI Scientist, you will push the boundaries of AI by developing and scaling cutting-edge models. This role exists to advance Mistral’s mission of democratizing frontier intelligence, enabling businesses and consumers to benefit from open, high-impact AI systems. You will collaborate with a global, cross-functional team to design, build, and deploy models that solve real-world problems across reasoning, code, and multimodal applications. Your work will directly shape how AI integrates into daily life and enterprise operations.\nWhat will you do\nResearch and develop novel methods to push the frontier of large language models\nWork across use cases (e.g reasoning, code, agents) and modalities (e.g text, image and speech)\nBuild tooling and infrastructure to allow training, evaluation and analysis of AI models at scale\nWork cross-functionally with other scientists, engineers and product teams to ship AI systems which have a real-world impact\nWhat We're Looking For\nYou are a highly proficient software engineer in at least one programming language (Python or other, e.g. Rust, Go, Java)\nYou have hands-on experience with AI frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, JAX) or distributed systems (e.g. Ray, Kubernetes)\nYou have high engineering competence. This means being able to design complex software and make it usable in production\nYou are a self-starter, autonomous and a team player\nNow, it would be ideal if\nYou have hands-on experience with training large transformer models in a distributed fashion\nYou are able to navigate the full MLOps stack, for instance, fine-tuning, evaluation and deployment\nYou have a strong publication record in a relevant scientific domain\nNote that this is not an exhaustive or necessary list of requirements. Please consider applying if you believe you have the skills to contribute to Mistral's mission. We value profile and experience diversity.\nWhat We Offer\nWe offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and work-life balance.
