Palantir powers mission-critical work across federal health & civilian agencies - from improving patient care & accelerating public health responses, to helping farmers access services, modernizing tax record reviews, & improving aviation safety.

Forward Deployed Software Engineers (FDSEs) work directly with customers to rapidly understand their hardest problems & build solutions against them. Projects often start with an open-ended question: "How do we respond to a foodborne illness outbreak faster?" or "Where is our medical supply chain failing patients?" Your job is to show up & solve them.

In Federal Health/Civil, your responsibilities look like those of a startup CTO. You'll own end-to-end execution of high-stakes projects within small, high-ownership teams, spanning the full stack of execution: whiteboarding architecture with engineers, building data pipelines & operational workflows, deploying AI agents, advising customer executives, & driving strategy with your team - sometimes all in the same day.

Whether you want to be an entrepreneur or an engineering leader, Palantir is built to get you there. You'll learn to unpack ambiguous problems & reason carefully about the cost & consequence of solutions. You'll work autonomously, make consequential decisions, & build with some of the country's most important institutions - with colleagues who will support & challenge you along the way.
