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

Palantir is at the forefront of some of the most critical and challenging problems in the world. We develop alongside our customers everyday. Our customers span from the cloud to the frontline. As we adapt to solve their most pressing issues in latency, performance, and compute cost, we are building a team of software engineers relentlessly focused on low-level optimization and novel compute architectures. This is a team of developers creating software for the far-edge, including streaming ETL pipelines, inference platforms, and various timing critical applications.

This role requires an experienced software engineer who is well versed in low-level development in compiled, native languages such as Rust and C/C++. A successful candidate can optimize software for constrained embedded devices or across large-scale distributed systems. You should have strong knowledge of computer architecture and OS internals.

Develop high-performance software that runs in distributed systems at the edge and in the cloud.

Process high-bandwidth sensor and network data streams to deliver real-time insights.

Architect optimized, hardware-aware software systems.

Collaborate directly with customers to derive and refine requirements.

Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and mentor other engineers as needed.

Ability to independently decompose and solve ambiguous, complex problems alongside customers with minimal guidance.

Deep knowledge of computer architecture and experience with hardware-software interfaces.

Proficiency with Linux and basic IP networking concepts.

Systems programming experience (e.g., writing device drivers or implementing custom TCP/UDP protocols).

Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

4+ years of professional software development experience.

Strong coding and debugging skills in compiled, native languages (e.g., Rust, C, C++).
