Forward Deployed Software Engineer

Palantir Technologies

Forward Deployed Software Engineers (FDSEs) work directly with customers to quickly understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them. Our customers rely on Palantir s platforms for some of their most critical operations, and projects often start with an open ended question like Why are we delaying so many flights? or How can we better identify instances of money laundering? As an FDSE, you ll apply your problem solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organizations use their data to drive a real impact in the world. You ll have the opportunity to gain rare insight into and contribute to some of the world s most important industries and institutions.

As an FDSE your responsibilities look similar to those of a startup CTO: you ll work in small teams with minimal supervision and own end-to-end execution of high stakes projects. Your day might span discussing architecture with fellow engineers, wrangling massive-scale data, coding a custom web app, speaking with customer executives, or establishing strategy for your team.

Whether you aspire to be an entrepreneur or an engineering leader, we believe Palantir is the best place with the best colleagues to learn how. You ll learn how to unpack a problem and understand the costs and consequences of its solution. You ll learn new technologies and languages, and even develop them yourself. You ll work autonomously and make decisions independently, within a community that will support and challenge you as you grow and develop.
