Applied AI Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer - EMEA

## About the Role

You will be one of the founding engineers of the Applied AI SRE sub-team at Mistral AI. Your mission is to build and operate the framework to ensure Mistral's solution delivery is reliable and sustainable across all accounts, both Mistral-hosted and customer-hosted.

## Responsibilities

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 deploy, secure, and scale 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.

This is a framework-first, fleet management role. You will bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and real-world enterprise applications, ensuring solutions are robust, scalable, and aligned with customer needs and Mistral's technological vision.
