Forward Software Engineer

As a Forward Software Engineer, you will build the systems behind some of the hardest problems Mistral takes on.

You join our team of engineers in Applied AI. We gravitate towards hard problems, decide how to solve them, and ship fast. You work closely with our customer-facing teams, and what works goes into production with our customers and across the company. When a project needs it, you work directly on customer engagements.

We're looking for a strong software engineer who has shipped agentic or GenAI systems to production. You've felt the pain of agents that work in the demo and fall apart on real tasks: tool calls that fail silently, loops that never end, and quality that drifts after launch. That production depth is your edge. You build across the stack, and you'd rather ship a plain UI on a solid foundation than a polished UI on a fragile one.

You think like a founder. You start from the customer's problem, not the technology. You measure success by the value you deliver, and you care about building experiences people love to use. You like working at the edge of what AI can do today, and you push past it.
