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
Palantir Foundry is an end-to-end platform for data-driven decision-making. We’re transforming the way organisations securely integrate their data, so they can then build reliable, critical applications atop that unified foundation. Our customers use Foundry to perform rich analyses that drive core operations within their organisations. They can also build sophisticated, full-fledged programs such as common operating pictures, alert-triaging inboxes, and resource allocation planning tools driven by rich-ML models.
This is a full stack engineering role, focused on application development in Foundry, where you will be responsible for crafting the tools used by thousands of users to build the sophisticated applications that power their businesses. You will be architecting and developing interfaces to make sophisticated, data-intensive workflows both powerful and approachable, including to non-technical users. You may spend one day interviewing users to better understand their needs and identifying product gaps to improve. The next day, you might find yourself putting that customer context to use and brainstorming how to handle intricate UX needs with your teammates. You’ll regularly be faced with sophisticated technical problems, requiring you to scope out the solution design and finding an incremental path to shipping the new features. As part of this, you will own APIs and schemas that power your frontend code, or work with other backend engineers in developing them together.
Core Responsibilities
We’re hiring engineers who are passionate about solving real-world problems and empowering both customer app builders and end-users to do their work optimally. Some examples of the types of product work you’d get to do are:
•. Designing and building for high-scale data intensive APIs (

•. Developing interactive workflow UIs
•. Building products which aim to make technical concepts accessible for non-technical users
•. Creating low-code/no-code WYSIWYG tools, which enable application builders within Foundry to build products for their users (
Apps)
Technologies We Use
- Typescript and React are central to our front-end development
- Blueprint as a re-usable front end component library
- A combination of open-source and internal technologies that suit the problems at hand

What We Value
- Passion for building user interfaces that enable users to tackle their problems
- Ability to understand how technical decisions impact the people who will use what you’re building.
- Ability to work optimally in teams of technical and non-technical individuals
- Skill and comfort working in a constantly evolving environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users
- Experience brainstorming and iterating with product designers
- Experience building high-quality software in a fast-paced CI/CD development environment
- Proven ability to learn continuously, work independently, and make decisions with minimal supervision
- Ability to learn new technology and concepts, even without in-depth experience. Motivated by unlocking or improving user workflows while still maintaining engineering quality.
What We Require
- 2+ years of frontend software engineering experience, preferably in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics
- Strong front end coding skills. Regardless of which frameworks you use or how you learned them, we’re looking for people who can write clean, effective code. You should already have proficiency in JavaScript and an understanding of how web technologies work
- Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools
- Proficiency with programming languages such as Java, C++, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar languages
