Datacenter Development Analyst

Cirrascale Cloud Services • Austin, TX

6d • $80,000 - $95,000

About The Position

Cirrascale Cloud Services is seeking a highly organized, technically capable, and commercially minded Data Center Development Analyst to support the rapid expansion of its global data center infrastructure. The Analyst serves as the primary point of contact for incoming opportunities, conducting initial discussions with data center operators, brokers, developers, and infrastructure providers. The role identifies, qualifies, analyzes, and advances potential opportunities before presenting them to the Director of Data Center Strategy & Development.

The Analyst independently manages multiple opportunities, gathers technical and commercial information, identifies potential obstacles, and coordinates activities required to advance qualified projects. The position aims to ensure the Director focuses on qualified opportunities rather than preliminary discovery, information gathering, and administrative coordination. The Analyst may independently conduct preliminary discussions, request information, coordinate evaluations, and recommend opportunities for further consideration. The Director retains responsibility for final site selection recommendations, strategic commercial negotiations, and infrastructure acquisition decisions. The Analyst is expected to own assigned activities and proactively resolve issues without continuous direction.

The role requires the ability to travel domestically and internationally as needed for facility evaluations, site visits, and infrastructure development activities. Cirrascale describes itself as a growing team working on AI infrastructure and next-generation AI applications in a collaborative and innovative environment.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of experience in data center operations, infrastructure development, colocation, technical sales, real estate development, or a related field.
• Working knowledge of data center power, cooling, capacity, and infrastructure requirements.
• Ability to evaluate commercial proposals and understand basic lease and colocation pricing structures.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience working directly with vendors, brokers, customers, or infrastructure providers.
• Ability to independently manage multiple opportunities and competing priorities.
• Strong proficiency with Excel, PowerPoint, and business reporting tools.
• Demonstrated ability to follow through on commitments and maintain accurate project information.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally as needed for facility evaluations, site visits, and infrastructure development activities.

• Familiarity with electrical infrastructure, liquid cooling, and high-density rack deployments.
• Experience supporting data center acquisitions, lease negotiations, or infrastructure expansion.
• Existing relationships with data center operators, brokers, or infrastructure developers.
• Familiarity with data center construction and commissioning processes.
• Experience preparing financial comparisons and capacity forecasts.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the initial point of contact for incoming data center opportunities from brokers, operators, developers, and infrastructure partners.
• Conduct introductory calls to assess whether proposed facilities meet technical, commercial, and operational requirements.
• Evaluate available IT capacity, power availability, location, pricing, deployment readiness, and suitability for high-density GPU and AI infrastructure.
• Identify disqualifying factors early, establish a consistent opportunity qualification process, and recommend opportunities for Director-level review.
• Gather and evaluate facility capacity, utility power availability and delivery schedules, electrical infrastructure and redundancy, cooling capabilities, rack densities, readiness, construction requirements, lease pricing, electricity costs, construction charges, lease terms, deposits, expansion options, and geographic and operational risks.
• Develop comparative facility analyses, calculate preliminary monthly and annual capacity costs, identify commercial terms outside preferred parameters, and prepare financial and technical summaries.
• Maintain a centralized database of opportunities and track them through qualification, due diligence, negotiation, and final disposition.
• Maintain accurate records of facility specifications, pricing, availability dates, contacts, capacity changes, commercial terms, and delivery schedules.
• Ensure opportunities have defined next steps, responsible parties, and follow-up dates; provide regular pipeline reports on new opportunities, qualified sites, outstanding requirements, and risks.
• Develop and maintain working relationships with data center operators, brokers, developers, and infrastructure providers.
• Follow up with external parties to obtain missing information, clarify terms, request documentation and proposals, and coordinate meetings, technical discussions, and site visits.
• Coordinate preliminary due diligence for qualified opportunities, including collecting electrical one-line diagrams, utility documentation, facility specifications, and construction schedules.
• Work with internal engineering and operations teams to validate technical assumptions and identify missing information, technical limitations, commercial concerns, and delivery risks.
• Assist with Letters of Intent (LOIs), commercial comparisons, and supporting documentation; track outstanding issues and coordinate their resolution.
• Support the Director through the acquisition process with follow-up actions that move opportunities toward execution.
• Prepare concise opportunity summaries and present advantages, disadvantages, costs, and risks for Director review.
• Maintain visibility into near-term and long-term capacity opportunities, identify emerging opportunities, and help prepare executive presentations, capacity reports, and strategic planning materials.
