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.

Palantir Foundry is an end-to-end platform for data-driven decision-making. We're transforming the way organisations securely integrate their data, so they can then build reliable, critical applications atop that unified foundation. Our customers use Foundry to perform rich analyses that drive core operations within their organisations. They can also build sophisticated, full-fledged programs, such as common operating pictures, alert-triaging inboxes, & resource allocation planning tools driven by rich-ML models.

As a Full Stack Engineer focused on application development in Foundry, you will be responsible for crafting the tools used by thousands of users to build the sophisticated applications that power their businesses. You will be architecting & developing interfaces, state management & access patterns to support data-intensive workflows that are both powerful & approachable. You may spend one day interviewing users to better understand their needs & identifying product gaps to improve. The next day, you might find yourself considering that customer context along with signal gathered from other customers in different industries, brainstorming approaches to handling intricate UX needs with your teammates.

You'll regularly be faced with sophisticated technical problems, requiring you to scope out the solution design & finding an incremental path to shipping the new features. As part of this, you will own APIs & schemas that power your frontend code, or work with other backend engineers in developing them together.

We're hiring engineers who are passionate about solving real-world problems & empowering both customer app builders & end-users to do their work optimally. Below are some examples of the types of product work you'd get to do in this role:

Foundry Software Engineers may be offered the opportunity to Frontline, an exclusive program unlike any other. This unique, short-term assignment involves being embedded with customers, allowing you to work directly with users & gain firsthand insight into how our products are used & the challenges our customers face. Unlike traditional engineering roles, Frontline immerses you in complex, ambiguous problems, empowering you to deliver impactful solutions across some of the world's most important industries & institutions.

Some of our most successful products were built on the factory floor, addressing real-world problems for the world's most important institutions. These products were developed by some of our most successful product engineers, who began their careers in roles aligned with Frontline responsibilities, gaining a deep understanding of both our technology & our customers.

Frontliners operate across a broad spectrum of responsibilities, much like a startup CTO. They work in small teams to own the end-to-end execution of high-stakes projects. This spectrum ranges from discussing architecture & building custom web apps to conducting workshops with users & strategizing with customer executives. No two days are alike, as each day is diverse & impactful. By witnessing how customers engage with Foundry & experiencing these pain points firsthand, you'll gain unique insights that feed directly back into our development process, helping to refine & enhance our products. After your frontline rotation is complete, you will return to your regular role where you can apply the experience & understanding you've gained.
