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. The Role Palantir’s defense product vertical builds mission‑critical products for the modern warfighter.

You’ll regularly face sophisticated technical problems, requiring you to scope out the solution design and find an incremental path to shipping new features. As part of this, you will own APIs and schemas that power your frontend code, and work with backend engineers in developing them together. You’ll be constantly exploring new horizons and building new skills in service of real‑world needs: type theory, operational transforms, 2D and 3D mapping, UI design systems, high‑scale graphics rendering, evidence‑based performance optimization, and the never‑ending need to decompose user asks into rich, sophisticated, and maintainable software.
