The Role

As a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE), you will contribute directly to the development and delivery of Palantir 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

- Provide embedded engineering support for the Palantir system, working alongside operational users and senior engineers to deliver mission-aligned capabilities
- Perform data integration and ontology engineering tasks, including building and maintaining pipelines, implementing metric definitions, and aligning data transformations to the Foundry Ontology to ensure consistent interpretation across the platform
- Develop workflows, applications, dashboards, and AI-enabled features using Foundry's Workshop/Slate application layer under guidance from senior engineers
- Participate in intake, triage, and solution framing activities — helping translate user needs and stakeholder requests into well-scoped engineering work
- Contribute to production hardening and transition efforts, including CI/CD pipeline configuration, build scripts, automated tests, and environment promotion workflows to ensure features are deployment-ready
- Support sustainment and iterative improvement operations by resolving defects, delivering incremental enhancements, and maintaining stable operations across deployed capabilities
- 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 workflows, dashboards, and AI features function correctly and that data aligns with approved definitions
- Identify integration issues, surface blockers early, and collaborate with senior engineers to resolve them

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
