We don't expect you to know everything from day one. What matters most is your curiosity, drive to learn, and willingness to dive into challenges.

Spore.Bio is a deeptech start-up born in 2023, building a new paradigm in the quality control systems in Food&Beverage, Cosmetics, and Pharmaceutics factories. After spending a lot of time in factories environments, we saw the pain it was to make sure products were safe. Traditional quality control has heavy constraints and long waiting times. To change that, we decided to build Spore.Bio, a new generation of microbiological testing. Our team is dedicated to bringing technology and developing a cutting-edge solution, based on advanced optical and deep-learning technologies, to detect bacterial contamination within seconds. Are you ready to revolutionize microbiology monitoring in factories? Spore Bio is seeking a Senior Computer Vision Data Scientist to lead the deployment and adaptation of our computer vision models to real-world operational constraints. Join our dynamic team of R&D experts and product managers, and help us build the future of industrial microbiology., We believe that flexibility and trust are important parts of a company. Our work environment reflects this thanks to: Flexible remote: If you live in Paris, you can work from our office or from your place with no constraints. On top of that, we offer many perks such as: * A budget for remote work equipment * A Gymlib subscription for you to stay in shape wherever you are * Premium health insurance (Alan in France) * A Swile card for your meals, if you are based in France * Frequent team events and in-person gatherings every quarter!
