Role summary
We are seeking a Software Engineer to design, build, and lead the core systems that power Mistral’s growth. This is a highly impactful role at the intersection of engineering, finance, data, and operations. As our first hire in Enterprise Agents, you will balance hands-on work with technical direction, partnering with C-level stakeholders, and growing the team over time. You’ll turn complex workflows into scalable software: integrations, connectors, and dashboards that make information flow across Mistral.
What you will do
• Own the platform from zero: design and implement integrations, connectors, and workflows across internal systems (CRM, billing, HRIS, planning tools).
• Lead the technical direction: define architecture, standards, and best practices for reliability, maintainability, and data consistency.
• Ship features : build end-to-end web apps with a pragmatic approach to delivery and iteration.
• Stakeholder leadership: partner directly with CFO, CTO and team leads to gather requirements, prioritize, and translate business needs into software.
• Org enablement: deliver sleek, self-service tooling and dashboards that reduce manual work and accelerate decision-making across teams.
• Technical Leadership: help shape the hiring plan, mentor future teammates, and evolve into the team’s Tech Lead as we grow.
About you
• Full-stack engineer with strong experience in modern programming languages and frameworks (Python, TypeScript, React...), you're comfortable building web apps end-to-end.
• Track record shipping internal systems (APIs, integrations, connectors, dashboards) in enterprise-grade environments (banking/insurance/industry/consulting).
• Hands-on and technically strong, with excellent judgment around trade-offs, maintainability, and operational reliability.
• Leadership mindset: you’ve led initiatives or mentored engineers (formal or informal) and enjoy setting standards for others.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management; you like turning ambiguous problems into a clear plan and shipped software.
• Low-ego, team-spirited, autonomous; motivated by enabling others and improving how an organization operates.
Now, it would be ideal if you had:
• Experience with LLMs / agentic workflows.
• Exposure to market-leading SaaS business systems (Salesforce, Atlassian, Oracle, etc.).
• Familiarity with infra & operations (Docker, CI/CD, K8s…).
• Comfortable working closely with internal stakeholders, including C-levels.
Hiring Process
• Introduction call - 30 min
• Hiring Manager interview - 30 min
• Technical Rounds
- Live Coding Interview (TypeScript or Python) - 45 min
- System Design Interview - 45 min
- Optional: Project Deep Dive - 60 min

Location & Remote
The position is based in our Paris HQ offices and we encourage going to the office as much as we can (at least 3 days per week) to create bonds and smooth communication. Our remote policy aims to provide flexibility, improve work-life balance and increase productivity. Each manager can decide the amount of days worked remotely based on autonomy and a specific context (e.g. more flexibility can occur during summer). In any case, employees are expected to maintain regular communication with their teams and be available during core working hours.
