Job description

DC Byte is the leading provider of market data, research, and intelligence for the global data centre sector.

At the heart of an industry that quietly keeps the world connected, our technology‑led platform empowers the key players designing and developing digital infrastructure to make high‑stakes, multi‑billion‑pound investment and strategy decisions.

We deliver the most accurate, real‑time, and unbiased insights into colocation and self‑build enterprise assets worldwide—supporting developers, investors, and operators, including the world’s largest hyperscalers.

As a private company operating in a high‑growth sector, DC Byte has consistently expanded its global footprint. We are now seeking a world‑class research analyst to help drive our next phase of international growth and innovation.

Job Summary

We are seeking a Senior Research Analyst to join our APAC team based in Singapore, focusing on data centre market intelligence across South‑East Asia.

This role is ideal for a professional with experience in real estate, data centre development, or infrastructure analysis, who thrives at the intersection of data, policy, and commercial insight. You will be responsible for the collection, validation, and analysis of market and site‑level data, with a strong emphasis on understanding the regulatory, environmental, and infrastructure factors shaping data centre growth in APAC.

As part of a small but dynamic regional team, you will work closely with colleagues in research, analytics, and commercial functions to produce market‑leading insights that guide developers, investors, and hyperscale clients. Occasional travel within the region—to conferences, site visits, and stakeholder meetings—should be expected.

About you

You bring 2–3+ years of experience in real estate, data centre development, or related infrastructure sectors (such as logistics, industrial, or energy). You’re curious, analytical, and relationship‑driven. You follow policy shifts, incentive programs, and infrastructure investments closely and know how to connect these to commercial strategy. You’re confident presenting insights, writing reports, and working across teams to turn data into actionable intelligence.

Key Responsibilities

Data Collection & Management

• Conduct detailed market research on data centre developments, land acquisitions, and infrastructure investments across assigned markets in APAC.
• Gather and verify information from a mix of public sources, government filings, planning databases, and direct stakeholder engagement.
• Maintain and update DC Byte’s proprietary database, ensuring data accuracy and consistency across markets.
• Track policy, zoning, and permitting developments that affect data centre site selection and construction.

Market & Policy Analysis

• Analyse market and regulatory trends to identify emerging opportunities, bottlenecks, and pricing dynamics.
• Develop regional insights into the interplay between infrastructure (power, connectivity, water) and real estate availability.
• Produce maps, dashboards, and written reports to communicate findings to internal teams and clients.
• Contribute to forecasts and scenario analyses supporting investment and development strategies.

Stakeholder Engagement & Networking

• Build and maintain relationships with developers, brokers, planning consultants, utilities, and public officials to deepen market intelligence.
• Attend industry conferences and events across APAC to represent DC Byte and stay ahead of market developments.
• Act as a trusted subject matter expert for clients seeking regional context on market activity, supply and demand dynamics, and high‑level policy and regulations.

Qualifications

• 2–3+ years of relevant experience in real estate, data centre development, or infrastructure research.
• Familiarity with data centre site selection factors—including power, fibre connectivity, water availability, and proximity to hyperscale demand.
• Skilled in Excel and data visualization; able to manage structured datasets.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to craft client‑ready materials with clarity and insight.
• Strong networking abilities, with a proactive approach to identifying new sources of market intelligence.
• Bachelor’s degree in Real Estate, Business, or a related field.
• Language proficiency in a South‑East Asian language (Thai, Vietnamese, Tagalog) desirable but not required.

Working at DC Byte

• Hybrid working: We are in the office Tuesday - Thursday, working from home on Mondays and Fridays
• Globally spread: With offices around the globe – London, Singapore, Sofia and the US – our teams collaborate across time zones.
• High autonomy, low ego: In a small team, everyone’s input counts. Own your impact, but remember that collaboration is what gets us to our goals.
• Pride of pace: A common phrase you’ll hear at DC Byte: Can we do this faster? Don’t be afraid to use it yourself.
• Taking time off seriously: We do our best work when we take our time off just as seriously – we’re not always on, offer a generous annual leave allowance, and close the office between Christmas and New Year.

Benefits

• 25 days annual leave (excl. bank holidays), increasing to up to 29 days
• Christmas Week closure
• Private health insurance
• Generous anniversary rewards, incl. access to career coaching, vouchers for days out and a holiday stipend
• Up to one month working remotely per year
• Up to $645 stipend towards your homeworking set up (Desk, chair, monitor, keyboard)
