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.

The Privacy & Civil Liberties (PCL) Engineering team is an interdisciplinary team of software engineers, forward-deployed engineers, designers, lawyers, & policy experts. The first of its kind in the tech industry, Palantir's PCL team was formed 15+ years ago as a rejection of the prevailing view that privacy protections must be sacrificed to national security interest. Today, the mission of the PCL team goes far beyond civil liberties protections, & our work challenges other false tradeoffs between operational effectiveness & the defining values of our society: Effective military operations should not be at odds with protecting civilians & upholding the Law of Armed Conflict. Deploying AI with scale & speed should never compromise safety, reliability, & governance. The PCL team builds software & forward deploys to ensure that our customers can pursue their hardest operational challenges while keeping ethical imperatives in plain sight. You can read more about the team on the Palantir blog here.

As a PCL Engineer, you will be responsible for designing & developing full-stack software products for privacy, data protection, AI governance, & accountability in Palantir's software platforms. You may build security & governance primitives in our platform, applications for auditors, user-facing workflows for AI governance, internal tools for data protection, or something new all-together to help our customers address their next set of challenges. In every case, the software that you build will directly help our customers both carry out their missions more effectively & better meet their legal & ethical obligations. As part of this role, your efforts will be informed by collaborations with technical & non-technical teammates to understand our customers' key challenges. Your technical approaches will entail engaging with & even helping to shape the latest developments in law & policy.

The skills & background of successful candidates may vary highly, but curiosity, grit, & a drive to run toward hard socio-technical problems are critical for our team. We're looking for engineers who are passionate about addressing real-world challenges & empowering our customers to carry out their workflows both effectively & responsibly.
