What the job involves
- Plume’s Data Science team is looking for an experienced Sr. Data Scientist to build and deliver industry-leading innovation at a rapid pace.
- As a Sr. Data Scientist, you will be able to use a range of data science methodologies to solve challenging business problems when the solution is unclear
- Due to the massive scale requirements of our platform, you will be solving challenging problems on a daily basis using cutting edge technologies and advanced architectural patterns involving distributed systems, and stateful services

Our take
Smart devices within the home have become the norm, but Plume Design believes that this influx of revolutionary home tech is only as smart as the networks that support them. With many issues concerning smart devices, treatment is reliant on generic WiFi, unsafe networks, and expensive analysis. Plume Design remedies this with cloud-controlled internet platforms that are defined by the needs of the devices that use them.
With home office setups now the norm, Plume has fast become a necessary service for many small businesses and casual users. Its smart Wi-Fi networks are ground-level products upon which Plume offers more smart home services and it now has more than a billion devices on its network.
With substantial funding behind it, Plume’s post-COVID surge in business was one thing, but keeping up the momentum throughout the 2020s is quite another. Time will tell if the company can continue on its upward trajectory. But as long as it keeps its networks fresh (as it did in 2022 through its partnership with opensync software agent SamKnows), it shouldn’t have a problem as it scales up.
