## Description

About the Job

We are seeking an Applied AI Engineer to facilitate the adoption of our products among customers and collaborate with them to address complex technical challenges. As a member of our Applied AI team, you will 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 our technological vision.

Responsibilities

* Deploy into production use cases with a considerable business impact across various industries.
* Work on state-of-the-art GenAI applications from consumer products to industrial use cases, driving with our customers a crucial technological transformation.
* Collaborate with our researchers, other AI engineers, product engineers on our most complex customer projects involving complex fine-tuning, state-of-the-art LLM applications, and contributing to our open-source codebases.
* Participate in pre-sales calls to understand potential clients' needs, challenges, and aspirations.
* Provide technical guidance on our products and explain Mistral technologies to various stakeholders.

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

* You are fluent in English.
* You have 2+ years as a technical individual contributor (data scientist or software engineer) on AI-based products.
* You have proven experience in AI or machine learning product implementation with APIs, back-end and front-end interfaces.
* You have experience in Fine Tuning LLMs, tackling advanced RAG or agentic use cases.
* You have deep understanding of concepts and algorithms underlying machine learning and LLMs.
* You have strong technical coding skills in Python.

Ideally You Have:

* Contributed to open-source projects in particular in the space of LLMs.
* Experience as a Customer Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect or Technical Product Manager.
* You have experience with deep learning with PyTorch.
