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 Foundry is an end-to-end platform for data-driven decision-making. We're transforming the way organizations securely integrate their data, so they can then build reliable, critical applications atop that unified foundation. Our customers use Foundry to perform rich analyses that drive core operations within their organizations. They can also build sophisticated, full-fledged programs, such as common operating pictures, alert-triaging inboxes, and resource allocation planning tools driven by rich-ML models.
As a Full Stack Engineer focused on application development in Foundry, you will be responsible for crafting the tools used by thousands of users to build the sophisticated applications that power their businesses. You will be architecting and developing interfaces, state management and access patterns to support data-intensive workflows that are both powerful and approachable. You may spend one day interviewing users to better understand their needs and identifying product gaps to improve. The next day, you might find yourself considering that customer context along with signal gathered from other customers in different industries, brainstorming approaches to handling intricate UX needs with your teammates.
You'll regularly be faced with sophisticated technical problems, requiring you to scope out the solution design and finding an incremental path to shipping the new features. As part of this, you will own APIs and schemas that power your frontend code, or work with other backend engineers in developing them together.
We're hiring engineers who are passionate about solving real-world problems and empowering both customer app builders and end-users to do their work optimally. Below are some examples of the types of product work you'd get to do in this role:
Core Responsibilities- Working as part of a community of engineers building shared frontend tooling to enable teams across Foundry
- Designing and building for high-scale data intensive APIs (example)
- Developing interactive workflow UIs
- Building products which aim to make technical concepts accessible for non-technical users
- Creating low-code/no-code WYSIWYG tools, which enable application builders within Foundry to build products for their users
- Typescript, React, and GQL are central to our frontend development.
- Blueprint as a re-usable front end component library.
- A combination of open-source and internal technologies that suit the problems at hand.
- Industry-standard build tooling, including Gradle, Webpack, GitHub, and CircleCI.
- Passion for improving user workflows and building user interfaces that enable users to tackle their problems, while still maintaining engineering quality.
- Ability to work collaboratively in teams of technical and non-technical individuals and understand how technical decisions impact the people who will use what you're building.
- Skill and comfort working in a constantly evolving environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users.
- Experience brainstorming and iterating with product designers.
- Experience building high-quality software in a fast-paced CI/CD development environment.
- Proven ability to learn continuously, work independently, and make decisions with minimal supervision.
- Ability to
