Role Summary

We’re looking for a lead designer to elevate documentation as a first‑class product at Mistral. Documentation isn’t just an afterthought—it’s the backbone of how our teams, customers, and partner builders understand, adopt, and innovate with Mistral’s products. If you’re curious, systems‑oriented, and obsessed with clarity, let’s talk.

What You Will Do

• Lead the design of Mistral’s documentation, treating it as a first‑class product that solves real user problems
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with designers, product managers, engineers, and customer support to identify gaps, improve clarity, and enhance usability in our docs
• Think holistically about the UI/UX of documentation: information architecture, navigation, search, interactive demos, and visual storytelling
• Design for all users: from internal teams to external developers, enterprises, and builder partners
• Communicate complex concepts visually by creating or collaborating on diagrams, flowcharts, animations, or other assets to make technical ideas accessible and engaging
• Advocate for the user: use data, feedback, and curiosity to continuously improve how people learn and use Mistral’s products
• Innovate with AI: explore how AI can enhance documentation—for example dynamic content generation or personalized learning paths

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of product design experience, with a focus on documentation, developer tools, or technical communication
• Deeply curious about how people learn and use complex products; you explore root problems through questioning
• Systems thinker: design for scalability, consistency, and maintainability across a growing suite of products
• UI/UX savvy: design intuitive, user‑friendly documentation interfaces from layout to interaction
• Visual communicator: comfortable creating or art‑directing graphics, diagrams, and other visual aids using Figma, Illustrator, or AI‑assisted design
• Collaborative and proactive: thrive in cross‑functional teams and drive projects forward with minimal oversight
• Experience with:
• Designing developer‑facing documentation (APIs, SDKs, tutorials, or technical guides)
• Technical writing or content design (a plus if you’ve worked with Markdown, Docusaurus, or similar tools)
• AI/ML concepts (familiarity with model deployment, inference, or cloud services is a bonus)
• Clear, concise, and empathetic communicator—capable of explaining technical topics to experts and newcomers

Joining Our Design Team

• Founding team: help build culture, processes, and design language for Mistral’s products
• Design for good—shape how the world interacts with AI and cloud computing focusing on sovereignty, transparency, and user empowerment
• Zero‑to‑one impact: design products from scratch, not incremental tweaks
• Builder energy: we ship great experiences and focus on making tangible progress

Hiring Process

• Portfolio review: showcase your documentation or technical content design
• Take‑home challenge: design a documentation experience for a complex AI concept
• Team interviews: discuss collaboration with design, engineering, and product teams
• Culture fit: demonstrate passion for teaching and learning
