About Mistral AI
Mistral AI is a pioneering company that develops and provides high-performance, open-source AI models, products, and solutions.
Role Summary
The Research Engineering team at Mistral AI spans Platform (shared infrastructure and clean code) and Embedded (inside research squads). Engineers can move along the research↔production spectrum as needs or interests evolve.
As a Research Engineer – ML track, you’ll build and optimize the large-scale learning systems that power our open-weight models. Working hand-in-hand with Research Scientists, you’ll either join:
- Platform RE Team: Enhance the shared training framework, data pipelines, and cluster tooling used by every team;
- Embedded RE Team: Sit inside a research squad (Alignment, Pre-training, Multimodal, …) and turn fresh ideas into repeatable, scalable code.
Responsibilities
- Accelerate researchers by taking on the heavy parts of large-scale ML pipelines and building robust tools.
- Interface cutting-edge research with production: integrate checkpoints, streamline evaluation, and expose APIs.
- Conduct experiments on the latest deep-learning techniques (sparsified 70 B + runs, distributed training on thousands of GPUs).
- Design, implement, and benchmark ML algorithms; write clear, efficient code in Python.
- Deliver prototypes that become production-grade components for Le Chat and our enterprise API.
Requirements
- Master’s or PhD in Computer Science (or equivalent proven track record).
- 4 + years working on large-scale ML codebases.
- Hands-on with PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow; comfortable with distributed training (DeepSpeed / FSDP / SLURM / K8s).
- Experience in deep learning, NLP, or LLMs; bonus for CUDA or data-pipeline chops.
- Strong software-design instincts: testing, code review, CI/CD.
- Self-starter, low-ego, collaborative.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and equity.
- Healthcare: Medical/Dental/Vision covered for you and your family.
- Pension: 401K (6% matching).
- PTO: 18 days.
- Transportation: Reimburse office parking charges, or $120/month for public transport.
- Sport: $120/month reimbursement for gym membership.
- Meal stipend: $400 monthly allowance for meals (solution might evolve as we grow bigger).
- Visa sponsorship.
- Coaching: we offer BetterUp coaching on a voluntary basis.
