About the role

We're hiring a Technical Program Manager to partner with Mistral's code and vibe research team - the researchers shaping how our models write, reason about, and play with code. You'll be their operational counterpart - the person who absorbs what the team is working on and makes it legible to the team, to leadership, and to adjacent teams.

What they're looking for

  • Genuine enthusiasm for code models and coding assistants - you play with them, push them, have opinions about them
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 3+ years of experience in technical program management, operations, or research coordination
  • Strong analytical skills, comfortable working in ambiguity and shaping it into structure
  • Ability to engage substantively with research work and build real credibility with technical teams
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, able to translate technical detail into clarity for different audiences

This isn't a coordination role. It's a research partnership role - embedded with the team, fluent in what they're building, and operationally responsible for everything that isn't the science...
