A World-Changing Company

Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

The Role

Apollo is Palantir’s product that enables autonomous management and continuous deployment of mission critical software, wherever it is. We’re transforming the way organisations around the world deploy software, taking SAAS where SAAS has not gone before: from on-premise, to various cloud providers, to disconnected environments (air-gapped), to strict accreditation frameworks, and to the edge.

As a Front End Engineer on the Apollo platform you will be responsible for the experience of thousands of users, architecting interfaces that make sophisticated deployment and monitoring tasks simple. You might spend one day interviewing users to understand their complex workflows and the next brainstorming mockups with Product Designers. Another day, you could tackle automating a workflow, partnering with backend engineers to wire up your code with the APIs, or if you’re really up for a challenge, building them yourself!

We’re hiring engineers who are passionate about the whole development lifecycle — not just fixing bugs or maintaining legacy code — from idea generation, user interviews, planning, design, prototyping, execution, shipping, and iteration.
