Data Scientist

Join us to push the limits of plant cell biology

At Amatera, we are building the future of sustainable crops. By advancing plant cell biology, we create solutions to major challenges such as climate change, diseases, and the need for more resilient crops. Our focus is on perennial plants like coffee, grapevine, and beyond.

We are looking for a Data Scientist eager to build bridges between plant cell biology and deep learning — someone who has a strong data science background and will enjoy cracking the \"black box\" of plant cell biology.

Your mission

• Develop state-of-the-art ML tools for plant cell culture.
• Apply rigorous software engineering principles and MLOps practices to guarantee that all solutions are reliable, scalable, and ready for production deployment.
• Partner with teammates in the Cell Biology and Engineering teams to identify key challenges and design innovative, AI-driven solutions.
• You will collaborate closely with and report directly to our senior data scientist.

What we’re looking for

• MSc or PhD in machine learning, AI, computer science, or related fields.
• 4+ years in developing ML solutions for computer vision applications.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and MLOps practices to ensure scalable, reliable model delivery.
• Experience in deploying ML solutions to cloud environments (AWS) is a plus.
• Experience with microscopy data is a plus.
• Motivated and self-driven, with a proactive, “can-do” mentality and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic start-up environment.
• Fluent in English (C1 minimum); French is a bonus, not a requirement.
• Strong teamwork, rigor, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• A unique opportunity to shape the future of plant breeding with cutting-edge cell biology.
• Work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and fast-growing biotech environment.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Full-time hybrid or onsite, based in Evry (South of Paris), starting ASAP.
