About Mistral

At Mistral AI, we believe in the power of AI to simplify tasks, save time, and enhance learning and creativity. Our technology is designed to integrate seamlessly into daily working life.

We democratize AI through high-performance, optimised, open-source and cutting-edge models, products and solutions. Our comprehensive AI platform is designed to meet the needs of enterprises, whether on-premises or in cloud environments. Our offerings include Le Chat, the AI assistant for life and work.

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 France, the USA, the UK, Germany and Singapore. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited. Join us to be part of a pioneering company shaping the future of AI. Together, we can make a meaningful impact.

Role Summary

The Research Engineering team spans Platform (shared infra & clean code) and Embedded (inside research squads). Engineers can move along the research-production spectrum as needs or interests evolve.

As a Research Engineer – ML track, you’ll build and optimise the large-scale learning systems that power our open-weight models. Working hand-in-hand with Research Scientists, you’ll either join:

  • Platform RE Team: Enhance the shared training framework, data pipelines and cluster tooling used by every team;
  • Embedded RE Team: Sit inside a research squad (Alignment, Pre-training, Multimodal, …) and turn fresh ideas into repeatable, scalable code.

Location: Paris / London (hybrid) or remote from EU/UK

What will you do
  • Accelerate researchers by taking on the heavy parts of large-scale ML pipelines and building robust tools.
  • Interface cutting-edge research with production: integrate checkpoints, streamline evaluation, and expose APIs.
  • Conduct experiments on the latest deep-learning techniques (sparsified 70 B + runs, distributed training on thousands of GPUs).
  • Design, implement and benchmark ML algorithms; write clear, efficient code in Python.
  • Deliver prototypes that become production-grade components for Le Chat and our enterprise API.
About you
  • Master’s or PhD in Computer Science (or equivalent proven track record).
  • 4 + years working on large-scale ML codebases.
  • Hands-on with PyTorch, JAX or TensorFlow; comfortable with distributed training (DeepSpeed / FSDP / SLURM / K8s).
  • Experience in deep learning, NLP or LLMs; bonus for CUDA or data-pipeline chops.
  • Strong software-design instincts: testing, code review, CI/CD.
  • Self-starter, low-ego, collaborative.
Benefits

France:

  • Competitive cash salary and equity
  • Food: Daily lunch vouchers
  • Sport: Monthly contribution to a Gympass subscription
  • Transportation: Monthly contribution to a mobility pass
  • Health: Full health insurance for you and your family
  • Parental: Generous parental leave policy

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK. Whether you work in finance, healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, recommendation systems, robotics, or consumer applications, there’s a need for dedicated machine learning teams that can deliver models into production, maintain them, keep them secure, efficient, fair, and aligned with business objectives. If you’re hiring for or applying to ML roles via MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, this article will help you understand what roles are typically present in a mature machine learning department, how they collaborate through project lifecycles, what skills and qualifications UK employers look for, what the career paths and salaries are, current trends and challenges, and how to build an effective ML team.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Machine Learning Jobs Hub

Machine learning (ML) is becoming essential to industries across the globe—from finance and healthcare to retail, logistics, defence, and the public sector. Its ability to uncover patterns in data, make predictions, drive automation, and increase operational efficiency has made it one of the most in-demand skill sets in the technology world. In the UK, machine learning roles—from engineers to researchers, product managers to analysts—are increasingly central to innovation. Universities are expanding ML programmes, enterprises are scaling ML deployments, and startups are offering applied ML solutions. All signs point toward a surging need for professionals skilled in modelling, algorithms, data pipelines, and AI systems. This article explores why the United Kingdom is exceptionally well positioned to become a global machine learning jobs hub. It examines the current landscape, strengths, career paths, sector-specific demand, challenges, and what must happen for this vision to become reality.
