Data Scientist

Data Scientist (Networking Focus)

Salary: £70,000 - £75,000

Fully remote

We're looking for a Data Scientist who truly understands how the internet works - not just someone who can analyse data, but someone who knows what's happening under the hood. You'll be joining a Join a pioneering start-up turning raw network data into real insight - mapping how the internet behaves in the wild and using that knowledge to build the next generation of secure, intelligent connectivity.

If you can talk confidently about IPs, DNS, routing, and browsers - and you're just as comfortable writing complex SQL queries or Python scripts - this is the role for you.

About the Role

You'll be working with terabytes of raw network intelligence data - IP addresses, browser metadata, connection logs, and more - to uncover insights that help build out our products in new and detailed ways.

This role sits at the intersection of data science and network research. You'll be responsible for:

• Working with massive, complex datasets using BigQuery in GCP.
• Writing efficient SQL and Python to clean, join and analyse data.
• Understanding how internet traffic, protocols, and data flows translate into meaningful patterns.
• Collaborating with researchers to make sense of raw network data and identify trends or anomalies.

This is not a standard data science position. You'll need to understand how the internet actually functions - from the 7-layer OSI model through to how browsers and IP routing behave in the real world.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Strong background in Python and SQL (BigQuery experience ideal).
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals - TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, routing, IP addressing, etc.
• Experience handling and analysing large-scale datasets.
• Background in network engineering, cyber security, or computer science.
• A genuine interest in how the internet works at a deep technical level.

You'll have access to vast datasets and the freedom to explore them - finding patterns and building insights that no one else has seen before.

If you're excited by the scale and complexity of the internet, and love making sense of huge amounts of data, we'd love to hear from you.
