Job description

AI Applications & Data Science Consultant

You will join a leading global R&D environment where advanced AI-driven applications support researchers in their daily work—from data analysis and statistical modelling to predictive insights and dashboarding.

• Maintain and improve existing Shiny (R) and Streamlit (Python) applications
• Ensure stability after platform or dependency updates
• Develop new interactive modules (dashboards, analytics tools, reporting apps)
• Analyse business needs and translate them into technical solutions
• Optimize and refactor Python and R codebases
• Manage data pipelines and connectors (APIs, databases, files)
• Conduct testing (UAT, unit tests, integration tests)
• Collaborate with data scientists, statisticians, and business users
• Document all developments and processes (French & English)
