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 freelance position based in Paris or Bordeaux, with 1 day of remote work 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.
