The Role

Build and ship scalable software for Palantir Gotham across the full product lifecycle. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, work directly with users to understand problems, and contribute high-quality code while paired with a mentor. May involve field visits to customers to learn mission needs.

Core Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer, you are involved throughout the product lifecycle - from idea generation, design, and prototyping, to execution and shipping, all while also being paired with a mentor dedicated to your growth and success. You'll collaborate closely with technical and non-technical counterparts to understand our customers' problems and build products that tackle them. One of the most effective ways to understand what our users need is to meet them. You may receive an opportunity to tour the assembly line at an auto-manufacturer or join a counter-terror analyst at their desk to really understand their mission and difficulties.

SWE principles include:

  1. Ownership: We see projects through from beginning to end in spite of obstacles we may encounter.
  2. Collaboration: We work internally with people from a variety of backgrounds — such as other Software Engineers, Product Managers, Designers and Product Reliability Engineers. We also partner with our business development teams (Forward Deployed Engineers, Deployment Strategists) in order to understand and solve our customers' problems.
  3. Trust: We trust each other to effectively handle time and priorities, and don't micromanage. We want people to have the space to think for themselves, while feeling supported by their team.

Technologies We Use

It doesn’t matter what languages you know when you join us; what matters is that you can write clean, effective code and learn new languages quickly. Our software is constantly evolving, so we need engineers who can do the same. Alongside peers that bring diverse experience — whether you’re a former university Teaching Assistant, switched to computer science recently, or are a hackathon enthusiast — you'll build your skills to apply the best technology to solve a given problem. Right now, we use:

  • A variety of languages, including Java and Go for backend and Typescript for frontend
  • Open-source technologies like Cassandra, Spark, Elasticsearch, React, and Redux
  • Industry-standard build tooling, including Gradle and GitHub

What We Value

  • Ability to communicate and collaborate with a variety of individuals, including engineers, users and non-technical team members.
  • Willingness to learn and make decisions independently, and the ability to ask questions effectively.

What We Require

  • Active US Security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance.
  • Engineering background in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, and Physics.
  • Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools.
  • Experience coding in programming languages, such as Java, C++, Python, JavaScript, or similar languages.

To apply, please submit the following:

  1. An updated resume / CV - please do so in PDF format.
  2. Thoughtful responses to our application questions.
