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

Mission Manager is Palantir’s PaaS for enabling US Government customers and vendors to run software securely and compliantly in the most sensitive environments, but without the overhead — whether connected, disconnected, cloud, or edge. Built on the strength of Palantir’s Apollo platform, it provides the critical infrastructure needed to rapidly onboard and deploy applications into a secure Kubernetes-based ecosystem, freeing our customers to focus on building and powering mission-critical systems.

The Mission Manager offering is still in its earliest days, and by joining us now, you’ll define the strategy for how we develop and scale it — witnessing firsthand the impact of your work on critical missions and the new capabilities you unlock. You’ll drive this by building elegant, robust APIs powered by Kubernetes controllers, bridging the gap between a raw Kubernetes cluster and a fully featured, infrastructure-agnostic runtime that can meet the operational demands of hundreds of specialized microservices. You’ll undertake this challenge alongside an energized team with a wide array of backgrounds and skillsets, all united by an ambitious vision for what’s possible.
