Palantir builds the world's leading software for data-driven decisions & 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, & more.

Substrate is the team responsible for Palantir's core production infrastructure - 100s of K8s clusters - from on-prem to the major cloud hyperscalers, whether they are internet-connected or air-gapped, small hardware footprint or large. As a Senior Software Engineer on Substrate, you will design & build Palantir's managed Kubernetes product offerings across all these environments.

You & your team will be responsible for bootstrapping & operating the entire fleet of K8s clusters with zero manual steps by building industry leading tooling & contributing to core CNCF components. You will also be responsible for ensuring scale, stability & security across a matrix of compliance regimes & hosting infrastructure types. Your team culture emphasizes engineering rigor & operational excellence at scale. This means issues in production should be pre-empted & deeply root-caused, & investments in automation & self-healing systems are key.

If you're excited about infrastructure at scale & working with Kubernetes, this is the right role for you.
