Job description
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. Role summary We are seeking an Applied AI Engineer to build the customer-facing cyber service and use-cases on top of our cyber harnesses. You will turn "we have agents" into "we shipped something a client uses." This role is about composing red-team/blue-team agentic workflows, configuring harnesses for real-world scenarios, and delivering value directly to clients. Your work will bridge the gap between our foundational cyber harnesses and the agentic solutions that clients deploy. While SWE-Cyber makes the platform robust and scalable, and Pentesters run the solution and guide the direction, you will focus on building the agentic use-cases and client-facing service that solve real security problems.
