Full Stack Software Engineer - Application Development

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.

Palantir Foundry is an end-to-end platform for data-driven decision-making. We're transforming the way organisations 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 organisations. 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 architect and develop 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, and the next day reviewing customer context and 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 find 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 to develop 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.

Foundry Software Engineers may be offered the opportunity to Frontline, an exclusive program unlike any other. This unique, short-term assignment involves being embedded with customers, allowing you to work directly with users and gain firsthand insight into how our products are used and the challenges our customers face. Frontliners operate across a broad spectrum of responsibilities, much like a startup CTO.

They work in small teams to own the end-to-end execution of high‑stakes projects, from architecture and building custom web apps to conducting workshops and strategizing with executives. No two days are alike, and the experience feeds directly back into our development process, helping to refine and enhance our products.
