Perform data validation, transformation, and quality assurance on large-scale utility and building datasets to support climate and decarbonization efforts.
Requires 2+ years of data analysis experience, advanced SQL and Python skills, and high proficiency in Excel, with a focus on energy, utility, or building data.
Cambio is a software platform for world-class real estate decarbonization. We help commercial real estate owners and tenants bring their real estate portfolios to net-zero using a powerful suite of software tools and AI-based recommendations. Our mission: to take the real estate industry into the climate action era.

If you enjoy solving complex data problems, care deeply about accuracy, and want your work to directly support climate action, this role is for you. What you will be doing Perform comprehensive data quality assurance and validation on large-scale utility and building performance datasets across multi-asset portfolios. Write and optimize SQL queries to extract, join, validate, and analyze data from internal production databases. Use Python to clean, normalize, validate, and analyze time-series utility data and identify anomalies, gaps, and inconsistencies. Transform raw, unstructured data from utilities, building systems, and third-party providers into standardized, analytics-ready datasets. Implement and execute data anomaly detection workflows, leveraging both internal tools and custom SQL/Python logic. Partner closely with product and engineering teams to improve ETL processes and harden data pipelines. Build and maintain complex Excel models and spreadsheets for data manipulation, analysis, and validation workflows. Create and populate data templates for sustainability reporting frameworks including GRESB, TCFD, and CDP. Impact With this role, you’ll have the opportunity to achieve the following accomplishments: Lead the accurate measurement of energy, water, waste, and carbon data across a 500+ asset portfolio for a multi-billion-dollar real estate fund, enabling identification of 15%+ energy savings through Cambio’s platform. Ensure the integrity of emissions data that powers AI-driven retrofit recommendations and portfolio-level decarbonization strategies. Work directly with real estate owners to resolve data issues, saving customers 100+ hours of manual work and reducing portfolio data gaps by 25% or more. Qualifications Strong quantitative background: 2+ years of experience in data analytics, accounting, finance, or related quantitative field. Advanced SQL skills: Comfortable writing complex queries involving joins, CTEs, window functions, aggregations, and data validation logic. Python proficiency: Experience using Python for data analysis and transformation (e.g., pandas). Ability to write scripts to validate datasets and automate repeatable checks. Advanced Excel skills required: You are highly proficient in Excel with experience in data manipulation, validation, complex formulas, and building analytical models. You are willing to roll up your sleeves to work with large, unstructured, and inconsistent datasets. Data-obsessed: You are meticulous and thrive when surrounded by numbers. You have a sharp eye for detail and can spot inconsistencies and anomalies in complex datasets. Analytical problem-solving: To you, cleaning and validating messy data is an exciting puzzle to solve. You have the ability to think creatively when addressing data quality challenges. Collaborative team player: You work effectively with engineering and product teams to troubleshoot technical issues and improve data workflows. Experience working with carbon or building data: Experience handling energy, utility, carbon, or real estate data is a bonus, but not required. Requirements: Must be based out of our New York or San Francisco hub Have US work authorization We are in office 3-4 days per week Compensation: The compensation for this role is consistent of cash, equity and benefits.
