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 the Vice President of our Production Platform organization, you will own how reliably Mistral runs in production and how fast every Mistral engineer ships. This role combines deep infrastructure expertise with organizational leadership to build a platform that scales ahead of the company.\nProduction Platform brings together around 55 engineers across site reliability, deployment, build and CI, and our internal service framework, led by strong team leads. Every deploy and every model release goes through this organization, from our own cloud to the major hyperscalers, private clouds and our customers’ on-premise environments.\nYou will set the strategy for the organization, grow its leaders and shape the organization as it scales. The role is key to the reliability of our products, the velocity of our engineering and research teams, and our ability to deliver Mistral wherever our customers need it.\nWhat You Will Do\nLead the Production Platform organization through its Engineering Managers, and grow them as leaders.\n\nSet the strategy and roadmap for reliability, deployment, build and CI, and the internal service framework.\n\nOwn the reliability of our production environment: SLOs, on-call, incident management and capacity.\n\nMake delivery to every environment, from SaaS to private cloud and on-premise, as simple and dependable as a single deploy.\n\nRaise engineering velocity across the company with fast, trusted CI and safe deployments by default.\n\nGive product teams strong defaults and the ownership of their own services and tests.\n\nDesign the organization as it scales: structure, hiring, on-call models and processes.\n\nContribute to architecture and the hard technical decisions, staying close to the systems.\n\nPartner with Product Engineering, Research and our enterprise teams to align the platform with their needs.\n\nDefine and track the metrics that matter: reliability, delivery speed and developer experience.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nDeep background in infrastructure, site reliability or production engineering, starting as a hands-on engineer.\n\nExperience leading leaders: managing managers and growing strong team leads.\n\nExperience scaling an infrastructure or platform organization through fast growth.\n\nTrack record of running production systems at scale, with measurable results on reliability or delivery speed.\n\nAbility to set strategy in an ambiguous scope and turn it into execution.\n\nStrong technical judgment in distributed systems, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure and CI/CD.\n\nExperience delivering software into customer environments (on-premise, private cloud, air-gapped) is a strong plus.\n\nExperience with AI infrastructure, such as model serving or GPU platforms, is a plus.\n\nLow ego, at ease with constant change, and driven by results.\n\nWhat We Offer\nWe offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and work-life balance. Benefits vary by country and may include healthcare coverage, parental leave, retirement plans, relocation support, wellness programs, meal and transportation allowances, and other location-specific perks.\nFor the most up-to-date details on benefits available in your location, please refer to our Benefits page.\nPrivacy Policy\nYour privacy matters to us.
