About the Role

We are looking for Systems Engineers / System Administrators to help design, operate, and scale the infrastructure behind Mistral’s AI platforms. This is a hands‑on, hybrid role combining Systems administration (operating and troubleshooting large‑scale Linux environments) and Systems engineering (automation, scalability, and performance improvements). You’ll work closely with infrastructure, HPC, and research teams to ensure our clusters and platforms run reliably at scale.

What You’ll Work On

Core Systems Operations

Operate and maintain large‑scale Linux environments (bare metal, clusters, cloud)
Monitor system health, troubleshoot incidents, and ensure high availability
Support production and research workloads across multiple environments

Scaling Infrastructure

Help scale clusters toward hundreds to thousands of nodes
Work on systems handling petabyte‑scale storage
Improve performance, reliability, and resource utilisation

Automation & Engineering

Automate operational tasks using tools like Python, Bash, Ansible, or Terraform
Improve deployment, provisioning, and system lifecycle management
Contribute to system design and architecture decisions

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

Work closely with HPC / infrastructure teams
Platform / DevOps engineers
Research teams
Act as a bridge between users and infrastructure

What We’re Looking For

Must‑have

Strong Linux systems administration experience (core requirement)
Experience working in large‑scale environments: HPC clusters or cloud infrastructure
Experience with job schedulers (e.g. Slurm)
Solid troubleshooting skills across systems, hardware, and networks

Nice‑to‑have (any of these)

Containers / orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes)
Storage systems (e.g. Ceph, Lustre, NFS)
Networking fundamentals (Ethernet; InfiniBand is a plus)
Infrastructure as Code / automation tooling
GPU or AI/ML experience

Profile We Value

Pragmatic problem solver who can operate in fast‑scaling environments
Comfortable working across multiple domains ("Swiss army knife" mindset)
Able to go deep in one area while learning others
Low‑ego, collaborative, and hands‑on

Why Join Mistral?

Impact: Play a pivotal role in scaling Mistral’s cutting‑edge AI infrastructure.
Growth: Opportunity to shape data centre operations from the ground up in a high‑growth startup environment.
Collaboration: Work with a talented, cross‑functional team passionate about AI and technology.
