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
Forward Deployed Software Engineers (FDSEs) work directly with customers to quickly understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them. Our customers rely on Palantir’s platforms for some of their most critical operations, and projects often start with an open‑ended question like “How do we evaluate wildfire risk and optimise a power grid as a result” or “How do we quickly assess our food supply chain and modify it to deliver life‑saving assistance on time?” As an FDSE, you’ll apply your problem‑solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organisations use their data to drive a real impact in the world.
You’ll have the opportunity to gain rare insight into and contribute to some of the world’s most important industries and institutions.
Core Responsibilities
- Work in small teams with minimal supervision and own end‑to‑end execution of high‑stakes projects.
- Discuss architecture with fellow engineers, wrangle massive‑scale data, code custom web apps, speak with customer executives, and establish strategy for your team.
Our Principles
- Impact: We address meaningful and exciting projects that change the world for the better.
- Ownership: We see projects through from beginning to end, working through any obstacles we may encounter, trusting each other to handle time and priorities and give space to think independently.
- Collaboration: We work internally with people from a variety of backgrounds—other FDSEs, product teams, Deployment Strategists—and externally with customers on site.
- Growth: We believe experiential learning is one of the best teachers and encourage ourselves and peers to seek new challenges and opportunities for growth and innovation.
What We Value
- Ability to continuously learn, work independently, and make decisions with minimal direction.
- Ability to collaborate in teams of technical and non‑technical individuals, and an ease with a constantly evolving environment.
- An eagerness to creatively solve technical problems with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front‑end frameworks, and other technical tools.
- Interest in working with and using large‑scale data to solve valuable business problems.
- Willingness and readiness to travel as needed to client sites (25‑50 % preferred; varies by team and location).
What We Require
- Security clearance or the ability to obtain a clearance.
- Engineering background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, and Data Science.
- Proficiency with one or more programming languages, such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.
