Job description

About Mistral Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms. We are a dynamic, collaborative team passionate about AI and its potential to transform society. Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited. The team Mistral Cloud builds and operates the infrastructure that powers Mistral's AI. The Data Centers team signs long-term leases for data center capacity developed by third-party operators, sources the GPUs that fill those halls, and runs the workloads that train and serve Mistral's models.

Roughly half of the work is commercial: procurement contracts, hedging instruments, and price risk management.
