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 Role

As an Engineering Team Lead, you will build and develop the core platform that supports our AI products. This role combines technical execution with leadership, ensuring our systems work effectively for developers and users.

Your work will directly improve the developer experience, making it more efficient and intuitive. The team builds reliable infrastructure that supports our products and enables seamless integration for both internal and external users.

You will split your time between hands-on coding and strategic leadership, including project planning, stakeholder collaboration, and team growth. This balance allows you to drive technical solutions while guiding the team toward long-term success.

What You Will Do

Remove obstacles and create an environment where your team can focus on building solutions.
Translate product vision into technical reality, collaborating closely with the Product team.
Ensure applications are performant, stable, and responsive.
Uphold high code quality standards through reviews, testing, and automation.
Own the full software development process, from design to deployment.
Plan projects, including roadmaps, deadlines, and task allocation.
Collaborate with stakeholders across Engineering, Product, and Design.
Support team growth through hiring, onboarding, and mentorship.

What We're Looking For

Proficiency in Python and at least one web framework (FastAPI, Django, Flask).
Proficiency in C#, Golang, TypeScript and at least one web framework.
Experience with large-scale distributed systems.
Experience building and leading engineering teams.
Experience working with cross-functional teams, such as Product, Design, and Business.
Knowledge of databases, caching mechanisms, and messaging systems.
Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
Ownership mindset and ability to ship products end-to-end.
Excellent communication skills and a low-ego, team-first attitude.

What We Offer

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and work-life balance. Benefits vary by country and may include healthcare coverage, parental leave, retirement plans, relocation support, wellness programs, meal and transportation allowances, and other location-specific perks.
