Applied Scientist - Research Engineer (Optimisation), EMEA
AI
Mistral AI is seeking Applied Scientists and Research Engineers focused on optimisation and operational research. You will post-train state-of-the-art large language models to formulate and solve optimisation problems, working cross-functionally to deliver high-impact AI solutions. Requires expertise in PyTorch or JAX, operational research, and LLM training.
What you'll do
- Run pre-training, post-training and deploy state of the art models on clusters with thousands of GPUs.
- Generate and curate datasets for optimisation modelling (LP, MILP, constraint programming, scheduling, routing), and build evaluators and benchmarks for operational research tasks.
- Use solvers as verifiers to build reward signals for reinforcement learning.
