Role summary

Mistral AI is looking for a DevSecOps Engineer to architect and maintain the security posture of our rapidly scaling AI infrastructure and application lifecycle. You will treat security as a seamless enabler for our research and engineering teams.

Your objective is to embed robust security controls into our CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure environments, and developer workflows, without compromising deployment velocity.

What you will do

• Drive threat modeling and risk prioritization exercises, serving as the security counterpart to system-design reviews for our core infrastructure and new products.

• Own end-to-end vulnerability management across CI/CD pipelines and runtime environments, covering both underlying infrastructure and applications.

• Secure our Kubernetes deployments and containerized workloads, implementing advanced pod and node hardening to prevent lateral movement across distributed systems.

• Define and enforce Infrastructure-as-Code security by building robust Terraform guardrails and integrating policy-as-code directly into deployment pipelines.

• Design and execute a comprehensive security tooling strategy, managing solutions for CNAPP, CSPM, SAST, SCA, secrets management, and SBOM-CVE tracking.

• Champion developer enablement by building secure defaults, streamlining remediation workflows, and drafting actionable security guidelines.

• Build foundational security automation to scale alongside hyper-growth, minimizing manual overhead while establishing a pragmatic security culture from the ground up.

About you

• 5+ years of experience in DevSecOps, Security Engineering, or Cloud Security, ideally acting as an early security hire in a fast-paced or hyper-scale environment.


• Deep understanding of Kubernetes and container security, alongside strong experience securing Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) across major cloud providers.


• Strong programming and scripting skills (Python, Go, or similar) to build security automation and seamlessly integrate diverse security tools into the developer workflow.


• Extensive experience deploying and tuning modern security tooling with a pragmatic approach to vulnerability management and threat modeling.


• Strong communication skills with a proven track record of partnering with developers and researchers to embed secure defaults without creating engineering friction.
