Job Description

Coders Connect is proud to partner with a pioneering biotechnology company transforming preclinical research with predictive technologies.


Their innovative solutions are redefining the way biomedical and pharmaceutical studies are conducted; enhancing reliability, speed, and clinical success.

We’re now looking for a Senior Data Scientist to take a central role in shaping and delivering the company’s data science function.


This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage data science team and work directly with leadership to influence technical direction, infrastructure, and impact.

What You'll Do :

As the Senior Data Scientist, you’ll be the technical backbone of a growing function.


Working closely with the CTO and collaborating with a small team of engineers and scientists, you will:

• Drive Model Development:
  
  
  Design and build machine learning models to power predictions, identify patterns (e.g.,
  clustering, outlier detection), and support preclinical R&D.


• Implement Data Workflows:
  
  
  Develop robust, scalable data pipelines and ensure clean, well-managed datasets for experimentation.


• Collaborate Across Teams:
  
  
  Partner with engineering, product, and scientific teams to embed data-driven solutions into research and development workflows.


• Prototype & Innovate:
  
  
  Test emerging tools and technologies, and contribute to evaluating and implementing the best-fit data science stack.


• Promote Best Practices:
  
  
  Support the adoption of clean coding, reproducibility, and efficient experimentation across the data science lifecycle.

Requirements

• 5–8+ years of hands-on data science experience across ML, statistical modeling, and data infrastructure.


• Strong experience with tools like Databricks, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Python, R, SQL, and cloud-based platforms.


• Experience with ML Ops, version control, and deploying models into production environments.


• Comfort with exploratory data analysis and building interpretable visualizations (Tableau, D3.js, etc.).


• An experimental mindset:
  
  
  you know how to test hypotheses, iterate quickly, and learn from failure.


• Strong communication skills — you can explain complex findings to non-technical audiences.


• Bonus:
  
  
  Background in biomedical research, life sciences, or high-impact R&D environments.

Benefits

Why Join?

• Direct Impact:
  
  
  Contribute to life-changing research and clinical innovation.


• Ownership:
  
  
  Help shape the data science roadmap from the ground up.


• Progression:
  
  
  Clear path to team leadership as you grow with the company.


• Collaborative Team:
  
  
  Work with a dynamic, mission-driven group.


• Cutting-Edge Tech:
  
  
  Be at the forefront of data science in bio-tech.


• Hybrid working model based in Lyon with minimum
  
  - 3 days on-site required.


• No VISA sponsorship can be supported for the role, unfortunately.
