Senior AI Engineer

About the job

Design, build, and scale production-grade AI systems that power the next generation of intelligent commerce.

You will work at the intersection of Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Generative AI to build AI-native products, agentic systems, and platform capabilities used by Mirakl customers and internal teams.

This is a permanent position (CDI) based in Paris or Bordeaux, with 4 days on-site per week.

Why Now, Why Mirakl

Generative AI and AI Agents are fundamentally reshaping commerce software and the way our teams work on a day to day basis.

At Mirakl, AI is becoming a core part of our product strategy. From Catalog Transformer and content generation to AI Agents and Agentic Commerce, we are building the next generation of commerce software. And we have the same ambition for our teams around AI products and adoption.

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to transform the way our internal teams work, and to have a significant impact on the agentic side of our Saas products.

You won't be joining a company that's thinking about AI. You'll be joining one that's already building it.

What You’ll Do

1. Design & Build AI Systems

• Design, build, and deploy production-grade AI systems for both Mirakl internal operations.
• Develop solutions leveraging: LLMs, RAG, AI Agents, Multimodal AI and Evaluation frameworks.
• Architect complex agentic workflows including tools, memory, retrieval, planning, and guardrails.
• Rapidly prototype new capabilities and evolve them into scalable, reliable AI production systems.

2. Integrate Across the Stack

• Connect AI systems to internal platforms, business applications, and data sources across the company.
• Enable AI agents to interact with systems such as CRM, data platform, Drive, Jira, support tools, and internal knowledge bases.
• Design robust orchestration layers between models, APIs, tools, retrieval systems, and business workflows.
• Ensure reliability, observability, scalability, and maintainability across the entire AI stack.

3. Iterate for Impact

• Partner with end users, business teams, Product Managers, and Engineers to identify high-value opportunities for AI.
• Run pilots and experiments, gather qualitative and quantitative feedback, and measure business impact.
• Analyze usage patterns, failure modes, costs, latency, and performance metrics.
• Continuously improve accuracy, reliability, adoption, and user experience through data-driven iteration.

4. Ensure Quality, Security & Reliability

• Implement evaluation frameworks, guardrails, validation layers, and monitoring systems.
• Design AI systems that are secure, explainable, and production-ready.
• Ensure compliance with data security, governance, and access control requirements.
• Document architectures, capabilities, limitations, KPIs, and operational best practices.

5. Drive Adoption & Enablement

• Build a scalable ecosystem of AI systems and agents that empower both internal teams and customers.
• Support teams in adopting AI-powered workflows and integrating AI into their daily operations.
• Contribute to AI engineering standards, reusable frameworks, and best practices across the company.
• Act as a champion for AI-driven ways of working and help shape Mirakl's transition toward Agentic Commerce.
