• Architect and engineer solutions in Palantir Foundry on the team working toward building out the reimagined Westrock Coffee operating system
• Design and implement end-to-end data pipelines and transformation logic with a focus on data health and sustainability
• Model objects and relationships in the Enterprise Ontology
• Apply machine learning best practices, including feature engineering, model validation, and performance tuning for development and deployment
• Utilize Foundry AIP and integrate LLM-based agents to transform workflows
• Design and build agent architecture that enables observability, human-in-the-loop verification, and precise context control access
