PalantirPalantir 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 partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply‑chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.The RoleSoftware Engineers at Palantir build software at scale to transform how organizations use data. Engineers are involved throughout the product lifecycle—from idea generation and design to prototyping and production delivery. You will collaborate closely with technical and non‑technical teammates to understand customers’ problems and build products that solve them. Movement across teams is encouraged to share context, skills, and experience, allowing you to learn many different technologies and aspects of each product. Engineers work autonomously, making decisions independently within a community that supports and challenges your growth, helping you become a strong technical contributor and engineering leader.FrontlineFoundry Software Engineers may be offered the opportunity to Frontline, an exclusive, short‑term assignment where you are embedded with customers. You’ll work directly with users, gaining firsthand insight into how our products are used and the challenges they face. Frontliners operate across a broad spectrum of responsibilities, from architecture and custom web apps to workshops with users and strategy with customer executives. Each day is diverse and impactful, providing unique insights that feed back into our development process to refine and enhance our products.Core ResponsibilitiesBuilding a performant search and indexing ecosystem for complex, granularly permissioned dataContributing to open‑source data processing libraries, integrating the latest innovations to achieve performance gainsBuilding the distributed systems that power large‑scale compute workloads, orchestrating and efficiently scheduling hundreds of thousands of containers every hourDesigning architecture and opinionated APIs to keep application developers on the happy pathTracing and performance observability in high‑scale distributed microservice architecturesBuilding reliable, performant, and scalable systems for storage, authentication, or asset serving to enable other product teams to build robust applications without deep domain expertise in the underlying systemsAutomating the deployment, management, and operations of complex distributed systems such as Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Kafka, and more across different environmentsTechnologies We UseBackend languages, including Java, Rust, and GoOpen‑source technologies such as Cassandra, ElasticSearch, Spark, Kafka, Kubernetes, FlinkIndustry‑standard build tooling, including Gradle and GitHubWhat We ValueDemonstrated ability to collaborate and empathize with a variety of individuals, iterating with users and non‑technical stakeholders to understand the impact of technical decisionsAbility to learn new technology and concepts quickly; experience developing and managing highly‑available distributed systems is beneficial but not requiredBias toward quality and thoughtful consideration of edge cases; writes code that is defensive against all possibilitiesLeading solutions and APIs with users in mind while maintaining a high engineering bar, striving to centralize and abstract complexity away from users to expose simple, powerful APIsActive US Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance is beneficial but not necessaryWhat We Require6+ years of experience designing, building, and operating scalable and reliable infrastructure systems in productionEngineering background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, or a similar fieldStrong coding skills with demonstrated proficiency in programming languages such as Java, C++, Python, Rust, or similar languagesFamiliarity with storage and data processing systems, cloud infrastructure, and other technical toolsStrong written and verbal communication skills and ability to iterate quickly with teammates, incorporating feedback and holding a high bar for qualityWe are committed to making the application and hiring process accessible to everyone and will provide a reasonable accommodation for those living with a disability.
