Why this role matters
We’re assembling our founding design team to shape how people use AI for the next decade. At Mistral, we’re not just designing products—we’re designing for positive outcomes, building AI that feels human, intuitive, and delightful. If you’re a designer at heart—independent, craft-obsessed, and excited to define the future of AI—let’s talk.
About AI Studio
Mistral Code is the best way to code with AI. We’re here to make developers extraordinarily productive, allowing them to delegate coding tasks and focus on higher-level thinking. Imagine an AI that doesn’t just assist, but collaborates—understanding workflows, adapting to needs, and executing tasks with precision.
