Position Overview With an estimated $11 trillion of cumulative AI CapEx through 2029 requiring roughly $7 trillion of debt financing, SemiAnalysis is building its Capital & Markets team to answer critical questions about how this investment will be funded. Our mission is to forecast capital needs across neoclouds, hyperscalers, and AI labs; explain how financing structures must evolve to serve those needs, including shorter-duration demand from AI-native companies; and maintain a comprehensive database of funding, offtake, backstop, guarantee, credit enhancement, and off-balance-sheet arrangements that makes interconnected exposures clear.

We are looking for an experienced markets professional with strong pricing knowledge and established investor relationships. You will assess market conditions, investor appetite, and credit pricing, while helping expand our GPU rental indices across chip types and contract durations and develop token price and inflation benchmarks to support underwriting and risk management.

We welcome candidates from credit sales, sales trading, and trading. This role focuses on market analysis and relationships and does not involve managing a trading book.

• Communicate market insights clearly and explain their implications for the team’s work.

Requirements

• 5–7 years of experience in credit sales, sales trading, or trading.

• An established network across credit markets and a detailed understanding of different investors’ mandates and preferences.
