## What you will do

- You’ll be responsible for onboarding customers on our products, providing guidance on deployment and integration, and ensuring the best production setup from the low-level GPU stack up to infrastructure, back-end and front-end interfaces.
- You’ll work on deploying state-of-the-art AI applications from consumer products to industrial use cases, driving with our customers a crucial technological transformation.
- You’ll work in collaboration with our researchers, other AI engineers, and product engineers on our most complex customer projects involving deployment, scaling, and contributing to our open-source codebases for tasks such as inference and fine-tuning.
- You’ll be involved in pre-sales calls to understand potential clients' needs, challenges, and aspirations. You will provide technical guidance on our products and explain Mistral technologies to various stakeholders.

- You hold strong communication skills with an ability to explain complex technical concepts in simple terms to technical and non-technical audiences

Ideally you have:

- Experience as a Customer Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Technical Product Manager
