Job Description:

Forward Deployed Software Engineers (FDSEs) understand our customers’ greatest pain points and design end-to-end solutions to address them. FDSEs solicit constant feedback on their work from both customers and colleagues, improving our products over time with rapid iteration cycles. FDSEs deploy ground breaking technical solutions to solve our customers’ hardest problems. Projects often start with a nebulous question like “Why are we losing customers?” or “How can we more effectively identify instances of money laundering?” FDSEs lead the way in developing a solution, from high-level system design and prototyping to application development and data integration. As an FDSE, you leverage everything around you: Palantir products, open source technologies, and anything you and your team can build to drive real impact. You work with customers around the globe, where you gain rare insight into the world’s most important industries and institutions. We help our customers detect insider trading, improve disaster relief, fight healthcare fraud, and more. Each mission presents different challenges, from the regulatory environment to the nature of the data to the user population. You will work to accommodate all aspects of an environment to drive real technical outcomes for our customers. Whether you aspire to be an entrepreneur or an engineering leader, we believe Palantir is the best place — with the best colleagues — to learn how. You’ll learn how to unpack a problem and understand the costs and consequences of its solution. You’ll learn new technologies and languages, and even develop them yourself. You’ll work autonomously and make decisions independently, within a community that will support and challenge you as you grow and develop.

Job Responsibility:

  • Understand our customers’ greatest pain points and design end-to-end solutions to address them
  • Solicit constant feedback on their work from both customers and colleagues, improving our products over time with rapid iteration cycles
  • Deploy ground breaking technical solutions to solve our customers’ hardest problems

  • Work with customers around the globe, where you gain rare insight into the world’s most important industries and institutions
  • Work to accommodate all aspects of an environment to drive real technical outcomes for our customers

Requirements:

  • Active US Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance
  • Strong engineering background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics
  • Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools
  • Understanding of how technical decisions impact the user of what you’re building
  • Strong coder with demonstrated proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively in teams of technical and non-technical individuals, and comfortable working in a rapidly changing environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users
  • Demonstrated ability to continuously learn, work independently, and make decisions with minimal supervision
  • Willingness and interest to travel as needed

Nice to have:

Experience with logistics, materiel, sustainment, aviation, or readiness analysis is a plus

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
