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 "Why are we delaying so many flights?" or "How can we better identify instances of money laundering?" As an FDSE, you'll apply your problem‐solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organizations 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.
As an FDSE, your responsibilities are similar to those of a startup CTO: you'll work in small teams with minimal supervision and own end‐to‐end execution of high‐stakes projects. Your day might span discussing architecture with fellow engineers, wrangling massive‐scale data, coding a custom web app, speaking with customer executives, or establishing strategy for your team.
