at Crusoe

🏢 About Crusoe

Crusoe is at the forefront of sustainable data center innovation, converting stranded natural gas into clean energy to power high-density computing. This mission-driven company offers a unique opportunity to contribute to reducing the environmental footprint of digital infrastructure while working on cutting-edge operational analytics.

About This Role

As a Data Analyst on the Data Center Infrastructure Group (DIG), you will own the reporting and dashboards that track the performance of complex construction and energy projects. Your insights will directly influence cost efficiency, timeline management, and strategic decisions across cross-functional teams, making your work critical to Crusoe's operational success.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by reviewing automated data quality checks and updating a dashboard tracking construction milestones. Then you'd collaborate with a project manager to analyze cost variances, and later present a weekly report to the DIG leadership. You'll also work with data engineers to resolve any anomalies in the pipeline.
