Job description

Join to apply for the Software Engineer - Apollo Platform role at Palantir Technologies.

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.

The Role

Are you excited about building world-class platforms that power mission-critical software at a huge scale? Apollo enables autonomous management and continuous deployment of software, wherever it is. We’re taking SaaS to where SaaS has not gone before: from on-premise, to various cloud providers, to disconnected environments (air-gapped), to strict accreditation frameworks including IL-5 and FedRAMP, and to the edge. You can read more about the problem Apollo was built to solve on our blog or watch our Apollo demo day.

As a Software Engineer on the Apollo platform you will build software at scale to transform how organisations around the world deploy software. You will be responsible for mission-critical software powering deployment of software for both Palantir and its customers in the commercial and government space.

You have a curious mind, high bar for engineering quality and the ability to work in a dynamic environment where the best idea wins. Apollo Software Engineers are involved throughout the product lifecycle – from idea generation, to design and prototyping, to execution, and shipping. You’ll collaborate closely with technical and non-technical counterparts to understand our customers’ problems and build products that solve them.

Please note that this posting is open to all levels of experience.

• Experience developing and managing highly-available distributed systems
• Demonstrated success building systems that meet requirements around monitoring, stability, and scalability
• Experience building high-quality software in a fast-paced CI/CD development environment
• High empathy for developer and operators workflows and productivity

What We Require

• Experience in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Math, Physics or similar field
