What you'll do

  • Run discovery with department heads and key users, map their workflows, and turn ambiguous needs into a prioritized use-case backlog with clear expected value.
  • Deliver end to end: design and ship production-grade full-stack apps (Python/FastAPI, React) and AI systems, from scoping through deployment and adoption.
  • Encode business rules, KPIs and ROI metrics as durable datalake assets and app logic, so departments run on trustworthy, observable data.
  • Dogfood the latest Mistral products as a first internal user, and turn what you learn into credible product feedback that shapes the roadmap.
  • Own architecture for your surface: keep it scalable, secure and observable, with a high bar on clean code.
  • Spot patterns across departments and lift one-off solutions into reusable building blocks.

What we're looking for

  • At least 3 years building and deploying production AI software.
  • Strong full-stack engineer: Python/TypeScript, scalable backends (FastAPI/Node), and enough frontend (React/Vue) to ship a usable app yourself.
  • Hands-on with modern GenAI use cases: RAG, agents, workflows, orchestration and evaluation.
  • Strong command of vibe-coding tools, paired with genuine care for clean code and architecture: speed without slop.
  • Strong ownership and a bias for delivery.
  • Fluent in AI-native tools (Slack, Linear, etc.).
  • Passionate about solving customer problems.
  • Excellent communication in fluent English.

Nice to have

  • Exposure to Legal, Public Affairs, Marketing or Compute/Infra domains, or a track record of getting fluent in an unfamiliar domain fast.
  • Data engineering or analytics experience (warehouse modeling, dbt, dashboards).
  • Contributions to open-source projects, especially around LLMs.
  • A builder's instinct for internal tooling and platform reuse.

Benefits

Comprehensive benefits package designed to support 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.
