We’re an early-stage science-driven startup working at the crossroads of machine learning, microbiology, and food safety — and we’re looking for a data scientist (or ambitious student) to join our growing team.
We’re developing a platform that helps food companies predict shelf-life and optimize product safety using real microbial data. You’d be working closely with microbiologists and product experts to develop models that have real impact in the food industry.
We’re looking for someone who:
• Has a solid foundation in Python and machine learning
• Enjoys solving real-world problems with data
• Is curious about biology, microbiology, or food systems
• Has a builder’s mindset – you like to figure things out and take initiative
We offer a hands-on role in a fast-moving environment with lots of learning opportunities and a supportive, interdisciplinary team.
📍 We're based in Ghent
