Full Job Description
You Are:

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be responsible for helping our clients solve their most pressing challenges, from the battlefield to supply chains, benefits programs, and broader government operations. You will work as part of a small team of engineers, domain experts, and other Deployment Strategists to turn a client's vision into reality by deploying Palantir software and building tailored solutions that make a measurable impact on their operations.

Responsibilities:
  • Work with cross-functional teams: Partner with engineers, program managers, and domain specialists to design, build, and support client-facing applications.
  • Translate objectives into a delivery plan: Gather requirements, analyze data and workflows, and define a roadmap from prototype to scaled deployment.

What We Look For:
  • Client success mindset: Own the outcome, go beyond the stated scope when needed, and consistently deliver value for the customer.

  • Bias for ownership: Work independently, drive decisions, and be accountable for results.
  • Track record of delivery: Ship software/analytics that produces measurable, real-world outcomes.
  • Collaboration and client-facing communication: Work effectively with teammates and clients across technical levels; embed with customer teams when required.

  • Minimum of 3 years experience in Python OR PySpark OR Java
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. If Associate's Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience
