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
 
Are you passionate about engineering quality, efficiency, and increasing the impact of engineers around you?
 
Software Engineers at Palantir build software at scale to transform how organizations globally use data. As a Software Engineer on Developer Productivity, you’ll identify, develop, and drive investments to improve the velocity and quality of our engineering, as well as bolster the happiness and productivity of other developers.
 
The role spans a spectrum of areas, such as build and software supply-chain systems, platform runtime environments, telemetry relating concurrency, memory/performance optimizations, and monitoring/alerting. Your primary users will be other developers at Palantir. They will be empowered with the software you develop to build capabilities used by research scientists, aerospace engineers, intelligence analysts, and economic forecasters in countries around the world. There will be opportunities to contribute to open source software, including projects maintained by others that we leverage. You’ll work autonomously within a community that will support and challenge you as you grow to become a strong technical contributor and engineering leader.
 
The team is hiring for Frontend and Backend engineers.
 
Core Responsibilities
 
We're hiring engineers who are passionate about solving real-world problems and empowering developers to do their work optimally. If you’re motivated to develop reliable, performant, scalable systems and tools, here are some examples of the types of work you’d get to do:
 
• Define and build standard practices for how services are operated and observed throughout their deployment
• Build libraries and tooling for defining service APIs and the RPC interactions between microservices; like the conjure ecosystem
• Unify frontend build and CI infrastructure across all of Palantir
• Help developers understand and adhere to development practices by building great tools and development processes
• Push Palantir to the cutting edge of software supply chain security
  • A variety of languages, including Java, Go, and TypeScript
  • Open-source databases like Cassandra, Lucene, Elasticsearch
  • Open-source libraries/frameworks like GraphQL, Undertow, Jackson, and Log4j
  • Industry-standard build tooling, including Gradle, Webpack, CircleCI, and GitHub
  • Expertise and depth of understanding of a technology or problem space. Embracing, centralizing, and abstracting complexity away from our users in order to expose simple, powerful APIs for consumers that solve otherwise incredibly complex technical problems.
  • Ability to understand how technical decisions impact individuals who will use what you’re building and drive to super-power those people.
  • Empathy for developer and operator workflows and productivity.
  • Awareness of recent industry practices and open source advancements.
  • Active US Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance is beneficial but not necessary.
  • 2+ years of software engineering experience, preferably in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics
  • Strong coding skills with demonstrated proficiency in programming languages, such as Java, C++, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar languages
  • Great problem solving skills with ability to dive into and navigate existing complex systems
  • Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, and other technical tools
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Location & Eligibility
