Job description

A World-Changing Company

Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. 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.

What We’re About

At its core this role is about uncovering dots and figuring out how to connect them. Our customers come to us with a hunch that the only way to protect their troops, manufacture high‑quality products, structure effective healthcare policies, or deliver aid to refugees safely is to make better use of their data. Deployment Strategists are responsible for turning that hunch into reality.

If you believe in the transformational power of data and technology and in your own ability to bring that power to bear against complex problems, we want to meet you.

What We Do

As a Deployment Strategist you’ll work as part of a driven and creative team of Engineers, Product Designers, and other Deployment Strategists to deploy software against the most challenging problems the world faces. Your mission is to synthesize disconnected streams of thought into a cohesive understanding of what the most important problem is, what the data means, what the product needs, what users are motivated by, and where the impact could be.

Deployment Strategists are do‑ers who immerse themselves in our customers’ most intricate workflows, partner with customer teams, and explore the data and product landscape to enable us to scale. A select number of Deployment Strategists may also be deployed to Palantir’s internal teams, and the problems you’ll tackle will require a curious and analytical mindset, a sharp intuition for product, and a strong degree of user empathy to ultimately empower our customers to make better decisions.

• Go onsite and meet with customer analysts to understand the critical questions they need to answer and locate their biggest pain points.
• Identify relevant datasets through deep engagement with customer problems and workflows and work with Forward Deployed Engineers to integrate the data into a stable and extensible pipeline.
• Work with the customer to build bespoke workflows for new user groups.
• Lead training sessions to ensure that the product is meeting user needs and is being used widely enough to have concrete impact on our partners’ operations.
• Present the results of our work and proposals for future work to audiences ranging from analysts to C‑suite executives.
• Embed with our Software Engineering and Product Design teams to incorporate what you saw in the field into cross‑Palantir product offerings.
• Build and deliver demos to new and existing customers.
• Scope out potential engagements in new industries and in increasingly expanding locations around the world.

What We Value

• We value team members who aren’t satisfied with surface‑level answers, who desire to dive into the details of the data because that’s the core of our work, and who value low ego because the outcome matters more than who gets the credit.
• Extraordinary ability to take on open‑ended problems in unstructured environments.
• Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, teach, lead, and follow.
• Ability to travel 25–75% required. Varies by location and team.
• Experience with programming, scripting, or statistical packages (e.g., Python, R, Matlab, SQL) is a plus.

Life at Palantir

We want every Palantirian to achieve their best outcomes, which is why we celebrate individuals’ strengths, skills, and interests from your first interview to your long‑term growth rather than rely on traditional career ladders. Paying attention to the needs of our community enables us to optimize our opportunities to grow and helps ensure many pathways to success at Palantir. Promoting health and well‑being across all areas of Palantir’s lives is just one of the ways we’re investing in our community. Learn more at Life at Palantir, and note that our offerings may vary by region.

In keeping consistent with Palantir’s values and culture we believe employees are better together and in‑person work affords the opportunity for more creative outcomes. Therefore we encourage employees to work from our offices to foster connectivity and innovation. Many teams do offer hybrid options (WFH a day or two a week) allowing our employees to strike the right trade‑off for their personal productivity. Based on business need there are a few roles that allow for remote work on an exceptional basis. If you are applying for one of these roles you must work from the city and/or country in which you are employed. If the posting is specified as onsite you are required to work from an office.

If you want to empower the world’s most important institutions, you belong here. Palantir values excellence regardless of background. We are committed to making the application and hiring process accessible to everyone and will provide a reasonable accommodation for those living with a disability. If you need an accommodation for the application or hiring process, please reach out and let us know how we can help.
