Product Designer (Documentation)

Responsibilities

• 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 builder partners understand, adopt, and innovate with Mistral’s products
• This role is critical: You’ll work across all areas of the product, collaborating with designers, PMs, engineers, and customer support to ensure our documentation is intuitive, visually compelling, and deeply user-centric
• You’ll think holistically about the UI/UX of docs, from information architecture to interactive examples, and be savvy at communicating complex concepts—whether through your own graphic design skills, collaboration with graphic designers, or AI tools
• Our documentation is the bridge between our cutting-edge AI products and the people who use them. It’s not just text on a page—it’s a dynamic, interactive experience that empowers developers, enterprises, and partners to build, deploy, and scale AI solutions with confidence. You’ll treat docs as a product: user-tested, data-informed, and designed for maximum impact
• 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: Create diagrams, flowcharts, animations, or other assets (either yourself or in collaboration with graphic designers or AI tools) to make technical ideas accessible and engaging
• Advocate for the user: Use data, feedback, and your own curiosity to continuously improve how people learn and use Mistral’s products
• Innovate with AI: Explore how AI can enhance documentation—from dynamic content generation to personalized learning paths
• Founding team: Help build the culture, processes, and design language that will define Mistral’s infrastructure and Studio products for years
• Designing 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’re all makers at heart, focused on shipping great experiences, not politic

Benefits

• Competitive bonus structure
• Equity
• Opportunities for professional growth and development

Qualifications

If you’re a designer who’s curious, systems-oriented, and obsessed with clarity, and you want to shape how the world learns to build with AI, let’s talk AI/ML concepts (familiarity with model deployment, inference, or cloud services is a bonus).

• Collaborative and proactive: You thrive in cross-functional teams and can drive projects forward with minimal oversight
• Technical writing or content design (a plus if you’ve worked with Markdown, Docusaurus, or similar tools)
• 5+ years of product design experience, with a focus on documentation, developer tools, or technical communication
• Systems thinker: You can design for scalability, consistency, and maintainability across a growing suite of products
• Clear, concise, and empathetic communicator—you can explain technical topics to both experts and newcomers
• Visual communicator: You’re comfortable creating or art‑directing graphics, diagrams, and other visual aids to simplify complex ideas (using tools like Figma, Illustrator, or AI‑assisted design)
• Designing developer‑facing documentation (APIs, SDKs, tutorials, or technical guides)
• UI/UX savvy: You understand how to design intuitive, user‑friendly documentation interfaces, from layout to interaction
• Deeply curious about how people learn and use complex products. You ask “why?” until you understand the root problem
