Senior Data Scientist

We have an opportunity for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Data Science team in Bangalore reporting to the Senior Director Data this pivotal role you will drive advanced analytics and machine learning solutions that power our security networking and cloud data products. Collaborating closely with Engineering Product Management Threat Intelligence and Data Engineering you will design and operationalize models that detect threats optimize cloud services and unlock insights from massive datasets using AI to move from raw data to real-time decisions at scale.

Be a Contributor What Youll Do

• Design machine learning and statistical models powering core Infoblox security threat intelligence and networking features from anomaly detection to risk scoring
• Translate business and product requirements into clear data science problems and measurable success metrics with Product and Engineering
• Explore and curate large-scale structured and unstructured datasets (DNS network and security telemetry) to uncover patterns and guide feature design
• Build evaluate and tune supervised unsupervised and semi-supervised models using Python scikit-learn XGBoost and PyTorch/TF
• Apply Generative AI and LLM-based techniques (feature engineering log summarization analyst-assist tools) to accelerate delivery and improve user experience
• Run end-to-end experimentation including A/B tests and offline/online evaluation ensuring performance reliability and fairness before production
• Productionize models and pipelines with Data Engineering on cloud-native platforms ensuring scalability observability and cost efficiency
• Refine heuristics and models with Threat Intelligence and Security Research based on new attack patterns and analyst feedback
• Communicate model behavior business impact and trade-offs through clear narratives dashboards and visualizations
• Champion reproducible research code reviews documentation and responsible AI practices across the team

Be Prepared What You Bring

• 710 years of industry experience in data science machine learning or applied statistics with 3 years deploying models in production
• Strong proficiency in Python and core data science libraries (pandas NumPy scikit-learn) with hands-on experience training and validating models on large datasets
• Proven experience with ML techniques relevant to security or networking anomaly detection time-series modeling clustering classification and ensemble methods
• Practical exposure to cloud data and ML platforms (AWS GCP or Azure) and MLOps tooling (MLflow Kubeflow SageMaker or equivalent)
• Experience applying AI/ML and Generative AI/LLMs to improve workflows such as automated triage intelligent alerting summarization or recommendations
• Demonstrated ability to frame ambiguous problems design experiments interpret results and present clear recommendations to cross-functional stakeholders
• Solid data engineering fundamentals (SQL data modeling ETL/ELT distributed data systems) and effective partnership with Data Engineering teams
• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Data Science Statistics Mathematics or a related technical field; Masters or Ph.D. is a plus
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to influence across global teams and mentor junior data scientists or analysts

Be Successful Your Path

First 90 Days: Immerse in our culture connect with mentors (Blox Buddies) and map the systems and meet with key stakeholders that rely on your work. Discuss and create short/long term goals.

Six Months:

• Own one or more data science projects end-to-end from problem definition through deployment in a key product or platform area
• Establish repeatable workflows for experimentation model evaluation and performance monitoring with Engineering and Data Engineering
• Refine and extend at least one existing model or heuristic with Threat Intelligence and Product with measurable gains in precision/recall or customer outcomes
• Contribute to reusable components (code templates feature stores evaluation frameworks) that accelerate AI/ML delivery across the team

One Year:

• Serve as the primary data science lead for a significant product or domain area shaping the AI/ML roadmap with Product and Engineering
• Drive adoption of responsible and efficient AI practices including model governance explainability and cost-aware deployment
• Mentor junior data scientists and analysts growing capabilities in advanced modeling experimentation and applied AI
• Demonstrate clear business impact improved detection efficacy reduced false positives better customer experience or new AI-powered capabilities
