Senior Analyst, Equity Research AI Infrastructure — Neoclouds & Data Center Buildout

Job Description AI infrastructure sits at the center of nearly every major investment theme in the market today; the buildout of neocloud and GPU-as-a-service providers, hyperscale and colocation data center capacity, power and cooling constraints, and the massive wave of capital spending reshaping the technology landscape. This is a rare seat at the table: joining a top-ranked, high-visibility Equity Research franchise that covers the companies building the physical foundation of the AI economy.
