Junior Data / Analytics Engineer
Job description
Coolgradient is a fast-growing green-tech start-up with a clear vision to make our digital footprint more sustainable.
Why?

How?
We have developed an AI-based analytics platform that captures the entire data center (DC) infrastructure—”from roof to room”—to bring the whole DC into a more optimal state.
