A WORLD-CHANGING COMPANY
At
Palantir, we’re passionate about building software that solves
problems. We partner with the most important institutions in the world
to transform how they use data and technology. Our software has been
used to stop terrorist attacks, discover new medicines, gain an edge in
global financial markets, and more. If these types of projects excite
you, we'd love for you to join us.
THE ROLE
Our
engineers are involved in all parts of the product lifecycle: idea
generation, design, prototyping, planning, execution, and shipping. Our
work starts with brainstorming to discover, explore, and understand our

we code. A lot. Finally, we ship and continuously iterate on products
that have a direct impact on the world’s hardest problems.
