Mistral AI - Product Designer

• 7+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio showcasing complex, technical products (e.g., developer tools, cloud platforms, infrastructure, or AI workflows). • AI-first designer: Comfortable vibe coding, building interactive prototypes, and even submitting PRs to ensure design quality and polish. • Obsessed with craft—visual, interaction, and motion design. You sweat the details, from empty states to error handling. • User-centered design. You care more about solving real problems than pixels. • Independent, resourceful, and biased toward action. You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. You make things happen. • Designing for developers, DevOps, or infrastructure teams (Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, or similar). • Data-heavy interfaces (dashboards, logs, metrics, or observability tools). • AI/ML workflows (model deployment, inference, or cloud services). • Clear communicator with a low ego. You can explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and advocate for users. • Founding team: Help build the culture, processes, and design language that will define Mistral’s infrastructure and Studio products for years. • Designing for good: Shape how the world interacts with AI and cloud computing—focusing on sovereignty, transparency, and user empowerment. • Zero-to-one impact: Design products from scratch, not incremental tweaks. • Builder energy: We’re all makers at heart, focused on shipping great experiences, not politics. • Our hiring process • Portfolio review: Show us explorations and delivered work—we care about how you think. • Take-home challenge: Tackle a real problem in our space. • Team interviews: Chat with design, engineering, and leadership. We’re looking for collaborators, not egos. • Culture fit: We want people who want to be here—who see Mistral as more than a job. • Let’s build the future of cloud, AI infrastructure, and Mistral Studio together! 🚀 • Location & Remote • This role is primarily based at one of our European offices (Paris, France and London, UK). We will prioritize candidates who either reside there or are open to relocating. We strongly believe in the value of in-person collaboration to foster strong relationships and seamless communication within our team. • In certain specific situations, we will also consider remote candidates based in one of the countries listed in this job posting — currently France & UK. In that case, we ask all new hires to visit our local office: • for the first week of their onboarding (accommodation and travelling covered) • then at least 3 days per month
