Job description

Palantir Solutions is an integrated consulting and software company, providing economic and planning solutions and services to the oil and gas industry. We are a global team with offices in the UK, US, Australia, Canada, India, Singapore, Argentina and Colombia.

Palantir provides a work environment that is entrepreneurial, fast‑paced and varied. Our employees are commercially minded self‑starters, comfortable working both independently and collaborating with colleagues and clients. Everyone at Palantir takes pride in delivering solutions that exceed client expectations and developing new ideas to enhance our services and products.

Palantir is the leading independent global provider of integrated planning products and services to the upstream Oil and Gas industry. We are committed to continual innovation and helping our clients through their Digital Transformation journey to help them develop planning processes that are more connected, accurate and timely.

Job Description

Palantir’s PlanningSpace connects three key planning areas into one integrated platform; Capital Planning, Reserves Planning and Financial Planning. It is a strategic corporate system which is often used by senior management to generate the data required for sanctioning decisions at board level. Our software helps businesses evaluate options that they simply cannot do using traditional software products.

As part of the PlanningSpace platform, PlanningSpace performs data management, reserves, cash flow and financial forecast functions within Upstream Oil and Gas companies. The platform often deals with large volumes of data. Calculations are often run in repeated batches with multiple scenarios being evaluated and can result in data sets in the tens of gigabytes each. To handle data management, calculations and other operations on data of this size, PlanningSpace has been designed to be a full enterprise grade application with the ability to scale vertically and horizontally by splitting these tasks into smaller batches and distribute them across multiple processors as well as multiple servers.

The successful candidate for this role should be experienced and comfortable working with large data sets and modern technologies and algorithms for calculating large batches of data all while using user interfaces that make the application look easy to use.

Additional Information

• Passionate about technology, product and user experience.
• Ability to help your team work independently, identify problems that need to be solved, and implement solutions to them.
• Broad understanding of the concept of minimum viable product.
• While this role is front end focused, Palantir uses Microsoft technology heavily including the development IDE, back end API’s (C#, ASP.Net Core and WCF) and SQL Server as well as VSTS for ALM.
• You put the customer at the heart of everything you do and that empathy drives every decision you make.
