We are looking for someone with a strong sense of ownership, curiosity, and a solution-orientated mindset of "we may not have done this before-let's figure it out and learn quickly."

  • Support user adoption and workflow design, not just pipeline construction and software engineering
  • Contribute to domain driven design and data domain development.

  • Deep expertise in Palantir Foundry, including architecture and large-scale implementations.
  • Strong data modeling and ontology-design judgement. Experience with Marketplace, OSDK, and building complex Foundry applications.
  • Proven ability to define architecture and lead technical strategy across multiple teams.
  • Operational readiness with products at scale including security, automation, CI/CD, DevOps, Performance and multi-cloud-native experiences.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for interacting with users, vendors, and other IT professionals. Ability to translate complex technical topics into easy-to-understand information with a strong attention to detail.
