Job Description

As a Forward Deployed Reliability Engineer (FDRE), you ensure stability and reliability of mission-critical workflows built on Palantir software. You gather signal by going on call — resolving problems before the customer is impacted — and use those learnings to drive product change, shape our internal tooling, and refine our operational processes such that we provide an increasing quality of service to more and more customers. Your approach is hands-on and pragmatic: you’ll rapidly address issues as they arise with quick and effective solutions and advocate for workflow or product improvements after the immediate issue is resolved. You are energized by engaging directly with problems, from writing a script to automate a manual task, to finding creative workarounds, or building a case for a product enhancement. You don’t just fix issues— you look for opportunities to simplify, automate, and make the entire system more resilient. An FDRE synthesizes learnings from support into best practices for others to follow. These are captured into documentation and shared with the team and broader organization. In this way, you raise the bar for reliability and efficiency across Palantir.

Job Responsibility

  • Develop a deep understanding of Palantir's products and operational processes
  • Go on-call, responding quickly and effectively to mission-critical incidents
  • Diagnose, resolve, and proactively prevent issues encountered in the field
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to increase the scalability and reliability of Foundry workflows for our customers
  • Identify recurring pain points and inefficiencies, and take initiative to automate or streamline workflows
  • Advocate for and implement product enhancements based on insights gleamed from the field
  • Create clear, actionable documentation and share best practices to elevate team and company-wide reliability

Requirements

  • Background in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or other technical field
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively to solve ambiguous technical and operational challenges
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of interacting effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Proficiency in Python, Java, and SQL
  • Familiarity with parallel data processing and Spark job optimization
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to prioritize effectively
  • Resourcefulness and creativity in fast-paced dynamic environments
  • Experience with root cause analysis and documenting solutions for broader impact
  • Enthusiasm for hands-on problem solving, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing

What we offer

  • Employees (and their eligible dependents) can enroll in medical, dental, and vision insurance as well as voluntary life insurance
  • Employees are automatically covered by Palantir’s basic life, AD&D and disability insurance
  • Commuter benefits
  • Take what you need paid time off, not accrual based
  • 2 weeks paid time off built into the end of each year (subject to team and business needs)
  • 10 paid holidays throughout the calendar year
  • Supportive leave of absence program including time off for military service and medical events
  • Paid leave for new parents and subsidized back-up care for all parents
  • Fertility and family building benefits including but not limited to adoption, surrogacy, and preservation
  • Stipend to help with expenses that come with a new child
  • Employees can enroll in Palantir’s 401k plan

Requirements
Requirements
  • 10+ years of software engineering or technical delivery experience, including 3+ years leading high-performing customer-facing engineering teams (Forward Deployed, Solutions Engineering, Applied AI, or similar)
  • A solid engineering background. You've led high-pressure technical projects from prototype to production, and you're still comfortable whiteboarding system architectures, reviewing code, and debugging production issues alongside your team
  • Proven ability to scale a delivery team. You've built hiring bars, onboarding programs, and operating standards for technical organizations, and you've interviewed and hired at volume for senior engineering roles
  • Hands-on fluency with the full AI stack. Deep familiarity with LLMs and agent systems, evaluation frameworks, backend and API design (Python or TypeScript), data systems (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, MongoDB, or similar), and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) including Kubernetes, Docker, and IaC tooling
  • Experience deploying AI into complex enterprise environments, including navigating security reviews, identity/SSO, data residency, legacy integrations, and compliance requirements
  • A track record of turning field work into product leverage. You've codified repeatable patterns from customer engagements into tools, libraries, or platform features that scaled across the next wave of deployments
  • Strong cross-functional leadership. You've aligned Sales, Product, Engineering, Research, and Customer Success around shared goals and delivered outcomes that required all of them to row in the same direction
  • Founder mindset. High autonomy, high motivation, high ownership. Comfortable operating with ambiguity, bias toward action, and the judgment to know when to ship and when to raise the bar
  • Exceptional communication. You can translate technical tradeoffs into decisions for executive and non-technical audiences, and model the customer empathy you expect from your team
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Own delivery for our largest accounts. Lead end-to-end execution across our most strategic enterprise customers—scoping engagements, sequencing delivery, removing blockers, and making sharp trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality to drive production adoption
  • Lead and grow the team. Hire, develop, and retain a world-class team of Forward Deployed Engineers. Set the technical bar, establish hiring standards, and build onboarding and career frameworks that let the team scale without losing intensity
  • Provide holistic technical oversight. Maintain a deep working understanding of every layer of what we ship—agents, models, evaluations, backend services, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure—so you can review architectures, debug production issues, and raise the quality bar across every engagement
  • Partner with Product and core Engineering. Work closely with Forward Deployed, Product, and Platform teams to ensure we ship efficiently. Identify patterns across engagements and codify them into reusable platform capabilities, playbooks, and building blocks that make the next deployment faster than the last
  • Engage directly with customer leadership. Forge trusted relationships with senior stakeholders at Fortune 500 customers. Translate ambiguous business problems into concrete technical roadmaps with measurable outcomes, and represent Scale at the executive level
  • Enforce production excellence. Set and hold the standard for reliability, security, observability, and evaluation across deployed agents—making sure the systems we ship are genuinely enterprise-ready, not just demo-ready
  • Drive the feedback loop into product. Translate field insights into sharp, actionable input for Product and Research, influencing model choices, platform features, and roadmap priorities
  • Operate with founder mindset. Own outcomes without waiting to be asked. Move with urgency in ambiguous environments. Make sound calls under pressure and model the calm, focus, and judgment the team needs when stakes are high
