About Us

Our mission is to redefine how emerging technology is implemented within investment firms by combining practical application with meaningful innovation. Caelon is trusted by investment firms that need accurate, reliable data and technology that directly supports their workflows and business challenges. We are not building a generic, out-of-the-box platform. Our approach is centered on long-term partnerships, a deep understanding of our customers, and trust.

You will work within Caelon Labs, our research and data initiative focused on understanding commercial real estate and finance, developing differentiated datasets, and designing the data architecture that powers our products. We are equally committed to the team we are building. Your growth, learning, and contributions will be central to the company’s success. If you want to work alongside an ambitious group of researchers, engineers, and founders building the future of private-market investment technology, we would love to hear from you.

Research at Caelon

At Caelon Labs sits at the heart of our mission. We study commercial real estate, finance, economics, and private-market investing, turning complex financial information, methodologies, and models into the intelligence that powers our core platform. We are looking for a curious and analytically rigorous Financial Markets Researcher to work across research, data, and emerging technology. You will investigate complex financial topics, produce original analysis, collaborate with our data architecture team, and explore how artificial intelligence and large language models can improve financial research and investment decision-making.

What We’re Looking For

  • High attention to detail and the ability to understand both customer needs and the underlying implementation of a system.
  • Strong intellectual curiosity and a willingness to go deeply into unfamiliar topics.
  • Interest in understanding the data, information, and workflows that power private-market investment decisions.
  • Comfort working across different tools and systems in a fast-moving environment.
  • A strong belief in the importance of finding, structuring, and delivering high-quality information.
  • Ability to take ownership of open-ended projects and turn ambiguous questions into clear, useful outputs.

Example Projects

  • Conduct and publish original research on financial markets, applied economics, or emerging technology.
  • Build data-driven research projects that support investment decisions.
  • Evaluate financial datasets, methodologies, and models for use within Caelon’s platform.
  • Help define how financial information should be collected, structured, connected, and analyzed.
  • Develop research benchmarks and evaluation frameworks for AI-powered financial analysis.
