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
Software Engineers at Palantir drive large-scale transformation through data, AI and world-leading infrastructure that supports mission-critical workloads. As an engineer within Palantir's Infrastructure teams, you'll have the opportunity to grow more quickly than you ever imagined as you contribute high-quality code directly to:
- The shared infrastructure underpinning Palantir Foundry, Palantir Gotham and Palantir Apollo — platforms deployed at the most important institutions across the public and private sectors
- Rubix and Mission Manager, our new internal-infrastructure business line, used by advanced civil and defence agencies worldwide to power their infrastructure in highly sensitive environments
- The substrate on which Palantir deploys Foundry and Gotham, powering workflows for research scientists, aerospace engineers, intelligence analysts and economic forecasters
This means driving investments that improve the velocity and quality of our engineering. Infrastructure at Palantir spans our Foundations, Production Infrastructure and Foundry teams.
Teams within Palantir's Foundations organisation are made up of a small number of engineers, each focused on one of four major categories of our infrastructure:
