Job Summary
In this role, you will be a founding member of the Applied AI SRE team, responsible for building and operating a reliable framework that secures Mistral's solution delivery across all accounts while ensuring security standards and automation.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You will be one of the founding engineers of the Applied AI SRE sub-team.
- Your mission, alongside the team, is to build and operate the framework to ensure Mistral's solution delivery is reliable and sustainable - and applied uniformly across all our accounts, both Mistral-hosted and customer-hosted.
- You will operate in four concurrent modes:
- BUILD - Design for a fleet of Mistral platforms and apps. Build proactivity to reduce reactivity. Productize reliability, author runbooks, create SLO templates, implement observability.
- RUN - Operate the Tier-1 customer environments that Mistral are contracted to operate. Ensure SLO compliance, own on-call and incident response, manage drift, partner with Technical Support as L3 escalation, champion high signal post-mortems.
- ENABLE - Productize how Mistral deploys, secures, and scales our Applied AI solutions. Engineer on-demand provisioning, author security baseline packages, embed security guardrails, automate everything.
- SECURE - Own the security operations layer for our customer-side deployments. Lead CVE response across the fleet, ship supply-chain integrity controls (SBOM, signed images, provenance), co-page with InfoSec on security incidents, enforce secure-config baselines.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Fluent in English.
- Strong multi-tenant Kubernetes fluency, namespace segmentation, network policy, RBAC, admission control, operations at scale.
- On-call discipline: incident response, blameless post-mortem culture, runbook-first mindset.
- Observability stack in production: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Loki, Tempo, Signoz.
- Infrastructure as code: Terraform, Ansible (or close equivalents).
- Proficient in Python and/or Golang for tooling and automation.
- Security mindset: you treat secure-SDLC, CVE response, and supply-chain integrity as reliability properties of the shipped artifact, not as someone else's job.
- Strong written communication skills: runbooks, post-mortems, and customer-facing incident comms are core deliverables of this role.
- Comfortable operating with high autonomy in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment - and disciplined enough to defend the team's scope when work tries to spill in.
- Solid Linux internals, networking debug, and distributed-systems fundamentals.
Experience
- 5+ years in SRE, Production Engineering, or DevOps, with a record of shipping tooling.
