Lead Palantir Application Engineer

HowYou’llCreate Opportunities in This Role

• Technical Direction and Solution Leadership:Lead technical design for Palantir applications, workflows, integrations, and platform capabilities. Define implementation approaches, guide architecture decisions, and ensure solutions are built withappropriate security, reliability, maintainability, and performance considerations.

• Engineering Standards and Patterns:Establishand promote reusable engineering patterns, coding practices, testing expectations, documentation standards, and support models for Foundry-based applications across project teams.

• Foundry Platform Enablement:Guide the use of Foundry capabilities such as Workshop, Ontology, Pipeline Builder, Functions, Actions, Code Repositories, security/access management, lineage, and deployment patterns. Help teams apply these capabilities consistently and appropriately.

• Design Reviews and Quality Oversight:Review complex designs and code,identifytechnical risks, challenge weak implementation approaches, and ensure applications are built to meet business goals and long-term support expectations.

• Mentorship and Team Development:Providetechnical guidance, coaching, and mentoring to engineers. Help raise the team’s capability by sharing knowledge, reviewing work, and supporting consistent engineering practices.

• Cross-Project Technical Planning:Identifydependencies, shared components, technical debt, and cross-teamimpactsacross projects. Partner with product owners, architects, and managers to align technical delivery with project and portfolio priorities.

• Production Support and Technical Escalation:Serve as a technical escalation point for complex production issues. Lead root-cause analysis, recommend durable fixes, and help improve monitoring, supportability, and operational readiness.

• Client Service and Communication:Communicate technical options, risks, recommendations, and tradeoffs clearly to business users, technology teams, vendors, management, and senior leaders.

Technical Competencies
