Requirements
- 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
- Active US Security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance
- Our benefits aim to promote health and wellbeing across all areas of Palantirians' lives. We work to continuously improve our offerings and listen to our community as we design and update them. The list below details our available benefits and some of the perks that can be enjoyed as an employee of Palantir Technologies
Responsibilities
- Forward Deployed Software Engineers (FDSEs) work directly with customers to quickly understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them. Our customers rely on Palantir's platforms for some of their most critical operations, and projects often start with an open ended question like “Why are we delaying so many flights?” or “How can we better identify instances of money laundering?” As an FDSE, you'll apply your problem solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organizations use their data to drive a real impact in the world. You'll have the opportunity to gain rare insight into and contribute to some of the world's most important industries and institutions
- As an FDSE your responsibilities look similar to those of a startup CTO: you'll work in small teams with minimal supervision and own end-to-end execution of high stakes projects. Your day might span discussing architecture with fellow engineers, wrangling massive-scale data, coding a custom web app, speaking with customer executives, or establishing strategy for your team
- 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
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with logistics, materiel, sustainment, aviation, or readiness analysis is a plus
