Data Scientist II
We have an opportunity for a Data Scientist to join our Business Strategy team in Tacoma, United States, reporting to the Director, Business Strategy. In this pivotal role, you will turn complex business questions into clear, data-driven insights and decision frameworks that shape Infoblox’s company strategy, growth programs, and executive operating rhythms. Collaborating closely with Business Strategy, Finance, Product, Go-to-Market, and Data & AI teams, you will build forecasting models, customer lifecycle analytics, and AI-powered decision support that help leaders make faster, higher-confidence decisions on where and how to invest.
Be a Contributor — What You’ll Do
- Translate executive and strategy questions into structured analytical problems, hypotheses, and measurable success metrics tied to Infoblox’s strategic pillars, strategic programs, annual objectives and key results
- Build, validate, and maintain statistical and machine learning models (e.g., churn and upsell propensity, pipeline health, segmentation, etc.) to inform planning and portfolio choices
- Create scenario planning, sensitivity, and what-if analysis frameworks that help leaders evaluate trade-offs across revenue growth, margin, investment, and risk
- Design and operationalize KPI definitions, metric hierarchies, and data quality checks in partnership with domain data owners to ensure a single source of truth for executive and board-level reporting
- Partner with data engineering and analytics teams to shape semantic models, data products, and feature stores that enable robust, reusable decision science assets
- Use AI and GenAI tools (e.g., AI-assisted coding, GenAI copilots, RAG-based knowledge search) to accelerate analysis, automate recurring workflows, and build decision-support prototypes, following Infoblox’s responsible AI guardrails
- Design and analyze experiments (A/B tests, pilots, quasi-experiments) with Product, Marketing, and Sales to quantify the impact of strategic initiatives
- Develop clear, executive-ready narratives, visualizations, and recommendations that connect advanced analytics to business implications and concrete actions for Infoblox leadership
- Champion data literacy and AI adoption across the Business Strategy organization by sharing reusable assets, playbooks, and training on decision science and AI-powered decision support

- Strong hands-on skills in Python or R for data science, plus proficiency with SQL for querying large, complex datasets; familiarity with modern analytics and ML platforms (e.g., Databricks or comparable unified analytics/ML environments)
- Experience working with business and financial data (e.g., bookings, pipeline, revenue, unit economics, customer cohorts) and partnering with Finance or Strategy teams on planning, forecasting, or portfolio analysis
- Comfort using AI and GenAI tools as productivity multipliers, with understanding of responsible AI practices (data privacy, bias, human-in-the-loop, governance)
- Proven ability to translate analytical findings into clear, compelling narratives and executive-ready presentations that drive alignment and action across cross-functional stakeholders
- Experience collaborating in product-led or agile environments with data engineers, BI developers, and business owners to define requirements, iterate on solutions, and measure realized impact
- Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Operations Research, or related); advanced degree (MS, MBA with strong quant focus) preferred but not required
