Careers

Work at the
frontier.

We hire scientists who code and engineers who think statistically. If you've ever wanted to see your models run in production at scale, this is where that happens.

Why Dalaran

Ownership from
day one.

Most firms separate the people who build models from the people who run them. We don't. At Dalaran, your research ships to production. Your systems move real capital. Your ideas are tested in live markets within weeks, not quarters.

We're a small team by design. Every person here has outsized impact, and we intend to keep it that way as we grow.

Direct production access
Every researcher and engineer has a path from idea to live deployment. No gatekeepers between you and the market.
Performance-driven comp
Compensation tied directly to the alpha you generate. Our top researchers earn significantly more than market rates.
Best-in-class infrastructure
Custom hardware, petabyte-scale datasets, unlimited compute budget for research. We don't cut corners on tools.
Publish your work
We actively encourage publication. Our researchers have first-author papers at NeurIPS, ICML, and top finance journals.

Life at Dalaran

The environment
we've built.

Small teams, high trust
Teams stay small so that decisions move fast and ownership is real. You won't spend your time in approval chains or status meetings.
No-nonsense feedback
We tell each other the truth — about strategies, about code, about ideas. Candor is a sign of respect, not discomfort.
Unlimited research budget
If compute, data, or tooling will make you better at your job, you have it. We don't nickel-and-dime research infrastructure.
Flexible location
We have offices in New York, Chicago, and London — and many of our researchers work remotely. Talent matters more than timezone.
Learning & development
We sponsor conference attendance, external courses, and sabbaticals for senior researchers. Staying at the frontier is part of the job.
Health & equity
Full medical, dental, and vision. Equity participation from day one. Generous parental leave for all parents, regardless of role.
