About Mistral
Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. 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.
We 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.
The Role
We are seeking experienced and highly motivated Technical Program Managers (TPMs) to join our Cloud Infrastructure organization and drive the delivery of complex, high-impact infrastructure programs.
As Mistral continues to scale its AI compute infrastructure, bringing new capacity online quickly and reliably is critical to our success. This involves not only deploying physical infrastructure but also coordinating the engineering efforts required to make that infrastructure fully operational.
In this role, you will work at the intersection of cloud engineering, software infrastructure, and data center deployments, ensuring seamless execution across multiple technical teams.
You will coordinate programs involving networking, storage, Kubernetes, fleet management, and infrastructure operations, working closely with engineering teams to manage dependencies, anticipate risks, and accelerate the deployment of production-ready compute capacity.
The TPM role spans several critical areas of program management:
Cloud Infrastructure Deployment - Coordinate the software deployment and bring-up of new compute infrastructure, ensuring smooth transitions from physical data center deployment to fully operational cloud environments.
Technical Program Management - Plan, execute, and oversee complex infrastructure programs involving multiple engineering teams, managing dependencies, timelines, and technical risks to ensure successful delivery.
Cross-Functional Engineering Coordination - Work closely with Cloud Engineering, Data Center Infrastructure, Networking, Storage, Kubernetes, and Fleet teams to align priorities, resolve blockers, and drive execution.
Engineering Operations & Process Improvement - Identify opportunities to streamline infrastructure deployment processes, improve coordination, and introduce scalable, lightweight workflows that accelerate delivery.
Location & Office Policy
The position is based in our Paris HQ offices and we encourage going to the office as much as we can (at least 3 days per week) to create bonds and smooth communication. Our remote policy aims to provide flexibility, improve work-life balance and increase productivity. Each manager can decide the amount of days worked remotely based on autonomy and a specific context (e.g. more flexibility can occur during summer). In any case, employees are expected to maintain regular communication with their teams and be available during core working hours.
What You Will Do
Program Management - Lead and coordinate complex cloud infrastructure programs, from physical infrastructure handover through software deployment and production readiness.
Infrastructure Deployment - Oversee the software bring-up of newly deployed compute infrastructure, coordinating engineering teams responsible for networking, storage, Kubernetes, fleet delivery, and infrastructure health.
Cross-Functional Collaboration - Work closely with Cloud Engineering, Data Center Infrastructure, and other technical teams to ensure alignment across deployment activities, technical dependencies, and operational priorities.
Project Delivery - Define and track project milestones, timelines, and resources. Anticipate blockers, coordinate technical dependencies, and ensure infrastructure is brought into production efficiently and reliably.
Process Improvement - Continuously identify opportunities to improve deployment workflows, reduce time to production, and establish scalable processes that support our growing infrastructure needs.
Stakeholder Management - Maintain clear communication with engineering teams, technical leads, and leadership, providing visibility into program progress, risks, and key decisions.
Risk Management - Proactively identify technical and operational risks, develop mitigation strategies, and drive the resolution of critical issues that could delay infrastructure availability.
What We're Looking For
You hold a degree in a relevant scientific or technical field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline).
You have at least 4 years of relevant experience managing technical programs, preferably in cloud infrastructure, software infrastructure, data centers, GPU computing, hosting, or related environments.
You have proven experience coordinating complex technical projects involving multiple engineering teams and interdependent workstreams.
You have a strong understanding of infrastructure deployment processes and the technical challenges involved in bringing systems into production.
You have excellent project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple complex programs and drive execution in fast-paced environments.
You thrive in cross-functional collaboration and can effectively communicate with engineers, technical leads, and senior stakeholders.
You are highly organized and know how to manage cross-team dependencies, anticipate blockers, and keep projects moving forward.
You are a proactive problem-solver with a continuous improvement mindset, comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking ownership.
Ideally, you have:
Experience managing cloud infrastructure or large-scale data center deployment programs.
A background in cloud engineering, software infrastructure, platform engineering, or a related technical field.
Familiarity with Kubernetes, networking, storage systems, distributed systems, or infrastructure automation.
Experience working on GPU infrastructure, HPC environments, or large-scale compute deployments.
Experience coordinating projects involving both physical infrastructure and software engineering teams.
Previous experience as a Software Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, SRE, or Technical Program Manager.
Already worked in an AI company or on large-scale AI infrastructure projects.
