About this vacancy
We’re seeking an experienced Data Scientist to enhance device identification and classification using advanced analytical and data‑science methods. You will work with large-scale, network‑derived datasets and design robust statistical and logical models that increase the accuracy, consistency, and coverage of device classification. This is a hands-on role with end‑to‑end ownership—from analysis and model design to implementation and validation. You’ll translate complex data signals into reliable, high‑quality classification outcomes. Key Responsibilities • Analyze device behavior and network metadata to extract insights that improve device classification. • Develop, refine, and maintain device fingerprints and supporting content to ensure accuracy and consistency. • Research new device types, functions, vendors, and operating systems to broaden classification coverage. • Apply statistical analysis, machine learning, and pattern detection to identify classification gaps and propose improvements. • Collaborate with engineering and data teams where needed while operating independently on daily tasks. • Adjust analysis for customer‑specific environments when required.
What we expect from you
- Master’s degree in Data Science, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Machine Learning, or equivalent senior experience. • Hands‑on experience with ML/AI techniques for classification, anomaly detection, or behavioral modeling. • Background in cybersecurity, network protocols, IoT/OT/medical devices, or device identification. • Experience working with taxonomies, content frameworks, or classification systems. • Familiarity with large‑scale data processing or cloud environments. • Strong understanding of computer networks (e.g., TCP/IP, DHCP, TLS, HTTP, ports/services, protocol behavior, fingerprints). • Data science expertise: Python, SQL, feature engineering, advanced data analysis. • Proven ability to design rule‑based fingerprints and classification logic. • Ability to independently lead complex technical initiatives from concept to delivery. • Excellent analytical thinking and communication skills.
