Applied AI Engineer, Deployment, Europe - Paris

Mistral AI • Full-time • Paris • 3h ago

Mistral AI is seeking an Applied AI Engineer focused on Deployment to facilitate the adoption of its products among customers and collaborate with them to address complex technical challenges.

Deployment Engineers at Mistral AI work directly with customers to quickly understand their greatest challenges and design and implement AI solutions. In this role, you’ll apply your problem-solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organizations use AI to drive real impact in the world. You’ll have the opportunity to gain rare insight into and contribute to some of the most important industries and institutions globally!

Deployment Engineers responsibilities look similar to those of a startup CTO: you’ll work in small teams and own end-to-end execution of high-stakes projects. A day might span discussing architecture with fellow engineers, wrangling massive-scale data, coding a custom web app, speaking with customer executives, or establishing a strategy for the Applied Engineering team.

Key Responsibilities

You’ll be responsible for onboarding customers on our products, providing guidance on deployment and integration, and ensuring the best production setup from the low-level GPU stack up to infrastructure, back-end and front-end interfaces.
You’ll work on deploying state-of-the-art AI applications from consumer products to industrial use cases, driving with our customers a crucial technological transformation.
You’ll work in collaboration with our researchers, other AI engineers, and product engineers on our most complex customer projects involving deployment, scaling, and contributing to our open-source codebases for tasks such as inference and fine-tuning.
You’ll be involved in pre-sales calls to understand potential clients' needs, challenges, and aspirations. You will provide technical guidance on our products and explain Mistral technologies to various stakeholders.
