Mistral AI - Product Manager, Forge

• 5+ years of relevant experience in new, competitive, fast-paced and ambiguous environments with a track record of building and scaling complex AI/ML or infrastructure solutions • Very good understanding of training pipelines, RL loops, and model deployment architectures, • Expertise in AI model lifecycle management, including fine-tuning, evaluation, and serving. • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), containerization, and scalable deployment modes (e.g., on-prem, VPC, cloud). Familiarity with Kubernetes/Slurm is a strong plus. • Relentless focus on solving real user problems, backed by data and qualitative insights. • Cross-functional influence • Proven ability to align and inspire engineering, design, and go-to-market teams without direct authority. • Problem-solving • Balance big-picture thinking with hands-on problem-solving — you’re equally comfortable crafting a roadmap, diving into metrics and running technical tests. • Communication: Crisp, persuasive storytelling for executives, teams, and users — ability to distill complex technical concepts (e.g., RL, LoRA, SFT) into clear narratives for docs, decks, and workshops. • Adaptability: Thrive in high-velocity, dynamic settings where priorities shift quickly. • Collaboration: Low ego + high EQ — you build trust and drive decisions through clarity, not hierarchy. • Autonomy: Self-directed with a bias for action, you own outcomes end-to-end. • Infrastructure knowledge • Strong knowledge of model training, model architectures, etc. • Strong understanding how complex architectures are designed and impact of deployment modes • Proficient coding skills are strongly recommended • Kubernetes know-how strongly recommended • Growth mindset: Deep familiarity with product-led growth strategies (e.g., viral loops, onboarding optimization, monetization, etc.). • Builder’s mindset: Founder or early-stage PM experience — you’ve turned 0 → 1 ideas into products users love. • Technical depth: Ability to prototype, hack, or dive into code when needed. • 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 in Paris 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, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain and Italy. In that case, we ask all new hires to visit our Paris office: • for the first week of their onboarding (accommodation and travelling covered) • then at least 3 days per month
