Company mission
To make frontier AI ubiquitous, and to provide tailor-made AI to all the builders.
Role
Who you are
- You have 7+ years of product design experience, with a portfolio that shows explorations and delivered work. Experience with consumer-facing products (especially AI, chat, or social) is a plus
- You’re obsessed with craft—visual, interaction, and motion design. You know that great design is invisible until it’s missed
- You’re fluent in Figma, prototyping tools, and user-centered design, but more importantly, you know how to use them to solve real problems
- You’re independent and resourceful, with a bias toward action
- You’re a self-starter—results-oriented, resourceful, innovative, intellectually curious, and willing to take initiative and risks
- You’re highly collaborative, able to balance multiple projects and stakeholders
- You’re professional, accountable, and driven, with a relentless focus on impact
- You’re target-driven, detail-oriented, and approachable, able to prioritize and work well in an environment with competing demands
- Bonus: Experience with AI prototyping (e.g., building interactive demos for LLMs or AI tools)
- This role is based in our NYC office, and we’re currently considering candidates who either already live in the area or are open to relocating
What the job involves
- 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
- Our AI Apps all center around making AI intuitive to use. Whether it’s focused on our Document Intelligence or Audio models, the core goal is to make advanced AI models accessible to both everyday and power users by designing configurable playgrounds and user-friendly apps
- Design end-to-end experiences for Le Chat, from onboarding to advanced features
- Prototype, iterate, and ship—fast. You’ll be hands-on, turning ideas into tangible experiences
- Collaborate deeply with research, engineering, and product teams. Clear communication and a low ego are key
- Contribute to our design system, ensuring consistency and craft (including motion design) across Mistral’s products
- Founding team: This is your chance to help build the design culture and processes that will define Mistral for years to come
- Designing for good: Your work will shape how the world interacts with AI, focusing on positive outcomes
- Zero-to-one impact: You’ll design products from scratch, not just features
- Builder energy: We’re all builders at heart, more interested in making the best experiences than politics
Application process
- Recruiter's screen
- Portfolio review: Show us explorations and delivered work—we care about how you think, not just how it looks
- Take-home challenge: A product-focused exercise to see how you tackle problems
- Team Interview: Chat with Design, Engineering, and Leadership. We’re looking for collaborators, not egos
- Culture fit: We want people who want to be here—who see Mistral as more than a job, but as a place to do their best work
Our take
Founded by Facebook AI researchers, Mistral AI focuses on developing open-source generative AI models to "make AI useful." It emerged in early 2023, quickly achieving a $260 million valuation.
Mistral features up to 176 billion parameters, and its open-source nature has sparked concerns about potential misuse. However, Mistral remains a formidable competitor in the AI landscape, challenging models from Google and Meta.
In 2025, Mistral secured a massive €1.7 billion funding round, raising its valuation to €11.7 billion. This Series B funding, led by European chip firm ASML, underscores significant interest in alternatives to ChatGPT and a push away from Silicon Valley dependence by European AI competitors.
