Role summary
Mistral is looking for a Security Platform Engineer to architect and maintain the infrastructure ensuring the observability of our production systems.
You will treat the SIEM and logging infrastructure as a high-performance data product. Your objective is to ensure the reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency of the pipelines ingesting security telemetry from our GPU clusters, cloud environments, and applications.
What you will do
• Own the set-up, lifecycle, availability, and performance of the SIEM solution, ensuring 99.9% uptime for log ingestion and query availability.
• Design and maintain high-throughput data pipelines to collect, buffer, and transport logs from distributed systems to the SIEM.
• Implement parsing logic and schema standardization to ensure unstructured logs are searchable and actionable for analysts.
• Manage alert rules, connectors, and dashboard configurations, avoiding manual console configuration ("ClickOps").
• Analyze ingestion patterns to identify noisy, low-value data. Implement filtering and aggregation at the source to maximize signal-to-noise ratio.
• Architect data tiers to balance query performance with compliance retention requirements and cloud costs.
About you
• 5+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Data Engineering, or Security Engineering with a focus on logging infrastructure.
• Deep understanding of log management challenges at scale (indexing strategies, sharding, partitioning, throughput tuning).
• Strong experience deploying and monitoring stateful workloads on Kubernetes and Cloud providers (Azure/GCP) and On-Prem.
• Ability to write production-grade Python or Go for automation and custom log exporters.
• Experience managing monitoring, alerting, and on-call rotations for critical infrastructure.

Location & Remote
The position is based in our Paris HQ offices and we encourage going to the office as much as we can (at least 3 days per week) to create bonds and smooth communication. Our remote policy aims to provide flexibility, improve work-life balance and increase productivity. Each manager can decide the amount of days worked remotely based on autonomy and a specific context (e.g. more flexibility can occur during summer). In any case, employees are expected to maintain regular communication with their teams and be available during core working hours.
