The Role

As a Mid-Level Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you will contribute directly to the development and delivery of Army Vantage capabilities. You will build analytical dashboard features, support CI/CD pipeline tasks, and work within a structured agile environment alongside senior engineers and government stakeholders. You will operate in two-week sprint cycles, contributing to feature delivery from design through deployment.

At our organization, an FDE takes ownership of their work - building reliable features, writing meaningful code, and ensuring each sprint increment is production-ready.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and deliver front-end analytical dashboard views using Foundry's Workshop/Slate application layer under guidance from senior engineers
  • Support CI/CD pipeline configuration tasks, including build scripts, automated tests, and environment promotion workflows
  • Implement metric definitions and data transformations aligned to the Foundry Ontology to ensure consistent data interpretation across dashboards
  • Produce clear technical documentation, including configuration notes, runbooks, and sprint artifacts
  • Participate in sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and demonstrations for government stakeholders
  • Conduct testing and validation to confirm dashboards function correctly and data aligns with approved definitions
  • Identify integration issues, surface blockers early, and collaborate with senior engineers to resolve them
  • Support defect resolution and incremental enhancements to maintain stable operations

 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry, including pipelines, Workshop/Slate, and Ontology
  • 3+ years of software engineering experience
  • Experience with Python, TypeScript, or Java in cloud-based data platforms
  • Experience working in government, defense, or classified environments
  • Ability to independently build features, test them, and deliver production-ready functionality
  • Comfortable working in small, fast-moving technical teams
