Forward Deployed Software Engineer - US Government

About the position

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. Forward Deployed Software Engineers (FDSEs) understand our customers' greatest pain points and design end-to-end solutions to address them. FDSEs solicit constant feedback on their work from both customers and colleagues, improving our products over time with rapid iteration cycles. FDSEs deploy ground breaking technical solutions to solve our customers' hardest problems. Projects often start with a nebulous question like 'Why are we losing customers?' or 'How can we more effectively identify instances of money laundering?' FDSEs lead the way in developing a solution, from high-level system design and prototyping to application development and data integration. As an FDSE, you leverage everything around you: Palantir products, open source technologies, and anything you and your team can build to drive real impact. You work with customers around the globe, where you gain rare insight into the world's most important industries and institutions. We help our customers detect insider trading, improve disaster relief, fight healthcare fraud, and more. Each mission presents different challenges, from the regulatory environment to the nature of the data to the user population. You will work to accommodate all aspects of an environment to drive real technical outcomes for our customers. 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.
