AI Scientist - Audio

About Mistral

At Mistral, we are on a mission to democratize AI, producing frontier intelligence for everyone, developed in the open, and built by engineers all over the world.

We develop models for the enterprise and for consumers, focusing on delivering systems which can really change the way in which businesses operate and which can integrate into our daily lives. All while releasing frontier models open-source, for everyone to try and benefit.

What will you do?

• Research and develop novel methods to push the frontier of large language models
• Work across use cases (e.g reasoning, code, agents) and modalities (e.g text, image and speech)
• Build tooling and infrastructure to allow training, evaluation and analysis of AI models at scale
• Work cross-functionally with other scientists, engineers and product teams to ship AI systems which have a real-world impact

About you

• An expert in speech input/output methodologies (specific to audio)
• Highly proficient software engineer in at least one programming language (Python or other, e.g. Rust, Go, Java)
• Hands-on experience with AI frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, JAX) or distributed systems (e.g. Ray, Kubernetes)
• High engineering competence. This means being able to design complex software and make it usable in production
• Self-starter, autonomous and a team player

Now, it would be ideal if

• You have experience working with large-scale speech-language models
• You have hands-on experience with training large transformer models in a distributed fashion
• You can navigate the full MLOps stack, for instance, fine-tuning, evaluation and deployment
• You have a strong publication record in a relevant scientific domain
