Mistral is moving from a model company into a compute-owning infrastructure business, committing to secure about one gigawatt of data center capacity by 2030 and hiring for the leasing and GPU sourcing work that a frontier lab would normally outsource.
Mistral provides full-stack AI solutions: from frontier models to developer tools, applications, and compute. We partner with enterprises tackling the hardest problems across high-stakes industries like finance, manufacturing, defense, healthcare, and the public sector, co-creating customized AI systems that they can run on their terms.
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 Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited.
Mistral Cloud builds and operates the infrastructure that powers Mistral's AI. The Data Centers team signs long-term leases for data center capacity developed by third-party operators, sources the GPUs that fill those halls, and runs the workloads that train and serve Mistral's models. Today the team is around 40 people, mainly based in Paris with some remote members, and operates roughly 200 MW of existing capacity across France. Key partners include Éclairion in France and EcoDC in Sweden, which is currently delivering Mistral's first Swedish data center.
The team sits at the center of an ambitious roadmap: Mistral has publicly committed to securing one gigawatt of data center capacity globally by 2030. With 200 MW already online, roughly 800 MW remain to be secured over the next five years.
This hire acquires the data center capacity that Mistral's next generation of models will run on. Across Europe, you will negotiate co-location agreements and built-to-suit contracts with data center developers, structure master services agreements and order forms, and make sourcing decisions grounded in a deep understanding of what the capacity will actually be used for: training frontier LLMs, serving inference at scale, or both.
The role sits at the intersection of commercial negotiation and technical infrastructure. You will need to translate workload requirements into contract terms, assess whether a given site can deliver the power, cooling, and connectivity Mistral needs, and close deals that lock in capacity years before the GPUs arrive.
