1. Product ML Engineer at Photoroom

Photoroom logo

Photoroom is hiring a Product ML Engineer in Paris to own short machine-learning projects inside a product team, at a 2+ year experience bar.

You would sit in one of three product teams (SMB, Scaler or Enterprise) and pick the quickest route to a working feature: fine-tune one of Photoroom's own vision or diffusion models when that pays off, or plug in an outside model or API when it doesn't. Projects run for weeks, not quarters, and the code goes straight into the product.

It ranks first for three reasons in the inputs: it was posted three days ago, it asks for the least experience of any role here, and it is the only hybrid one. It also spells out the relocation offer (visa sponsorship plus up to €10,000) and says French isn't required.

Best for: an applied ML engineer with a couple of years in production who cares more about users than benchmarks.

Skip it if: you want long research cycles, or you haven't fine-tuned vision or diffusion models in PyTorch, TensorFlow or JAX.

Salary: No salary on the listing (it says "competitive salary + meaningful equity" without numbers).

At a glance: Paris · hybrid from the Paris HQ · 2+ years · posted 26 October (3 days ago).

What stood out: Photoroom has posted 6 listings in France on The Stack in the last 90 days, more than any other direct employer.

Watch out for: the process includes a take-home technical assignment, and no pay range is given.

2. Software Engineer, Robot Fleet Management System at UMA

UMA logo

UMA is hiring a Software Engineer in Paris to lead its robot fleet management system, a fully on-site role for engineers with 5+ years.

The job is the plumbing between code and robots: deployments and rollbacks to physical units, remote controls for things like calibration runs and teleoperation, versioned machine configs, and live telemetry with alerts. Python, Linux and clean APIs (REST, gRPC, WebSockets) are the core; Prometheus, Grafana or OpenTelemetry experience counts.

Best for: a backend or infrastructure engineer who has already managed edge devices or real machines in production.

Skip it if: you have under five years of experience or need any remote days.

Salary: No salary on the listing.

At a glance: Paris · on-site · 5+ years · posted 26 October (3 days ago).

What stood out: it is UMA's first listing in France on The Stack in 90 days, and among the two freshest here.

Watch out for: the posting is on-site only and states no salary or language requirement, so confirm both on the first call.

 

3. Software / Cloud / Data Engineer, Client Insights Platform at HyLight

HyLight logo

HyLight is hiring a Software / Cloud / Data Engineer at its base in Brétigny-sur-Orge to run the platform behind its hydrogen inspection airships, at a 2-5 year level.

Each flight brings back LiDAR, imagery and methane readings; this role owns the processing of that data in the cloud and the web app where energy and rail operators see the results. Cost is a core metric, measured per flight hour.

Best for: a backend, cloud or full-stack engineer who wants one system to own end to end.

Skip it if: you want to live and work in central Paris, or you'd rather not be on call when a pipeline fails.

Salary: No salary on the listing; the application form asks for your expectations.

At a glance: Brétigny-sur-Orge (Base 217, on the RER C) · mostly on-site · 2-5 years · posted 22 October (7 days ago).

What stood out: 2 HyLight listings in France on The Stack in 90 days.

Watch out for: "regular presence on the base is part of the job", and English is required with French a plus.

 

4. Software Engineer, Web (Full Stack) at amo

amo logo

amo is hiring a full-stack Software Engineer for its Web team in Paris to build data-heavy TypeScript platforms and map visualisations, asking for 7+ years.

Expect the whole stack: APIs and UI in TypeScript and Next.js, long-running workflows on Restate, and data modelled across Postgres and BigQuery so large location datasets render fast on interactive maps.

Best for: a senior full-stack engineer with SaaS or data-platform experience and an interest in geospatial work.

Skip it if: you have fewer than seven years, or you want hybrid or remote days.

Salary: No salary on the listing.

At a glance: Paris (near Opéra) · on-site 5 days a week · 7+ years · posted 22 October (7 days ago).

What stood out: one of 3 amo listings in France on The Stack in 90 days.

Watch out for: five office days a week and a deliberately high bar; on the plus side, French isn't needed and amo covers a month of housing on arrival.

How to choose

With two to five years, look at Photoroom (ML) and HyLight (cloud and data). With 5+ years on systems that touch hardware, UMA fits better, and amo needs 7+ years of TypeScript. Photoroom is the only hybrid role; the other three expect you on site most or all of the week. Skip this list if you need a stated salary before applying, because none of the four gives one, or if you want fully remote work. If none fits, see every visa-sponsored job in France on The Stack.

Before you apply

The usual route for skilled tech hires is the talent passport "EU Blue Card". According to Service-Public.fr, it needs a gross salary of at least €59,373 a year, a diploma showing at least three years of higher education or five years of professional experience, and a contract of at least six months. Because none of these postings states pay, ask for the base range in the first call so you can check it clears that line.

What The Stack's data shows

France has 88 live visa-sponsored listings on The Stack today, but only 10 were posted in the last 30 days, so fresh roles here are thin. Photoroom has hired most visibly, with 6 listings in 90 days. None of the four postings here states a salary, and none of the six we opened had closed.

FAQ

Do tech jobs in France require French?
