Job description

Deployment Strategist, Build to Apply - US Government

Lead deployment of Palantir Foundry and AIP solutions for US government clients

Location: Washington, District of Columbia

Compensation: $110,000 - 170,000 USD / year

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 — without knowing the shape they form — 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 our 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 self-starters who immerse themselves in our customers' most intricate workflows, partner with customer teams and explore the data, and dive into the product landscape to enable us to scale. A select number of Deployments Strategists may also be deployed to Palantir internal teams and projects. In this role, 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.

No two days are the same, but as a Deployment Strategist you can expect to:

• 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 to ensure it 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. We value the desire to dive into the details of the data because that's the core of our work. And we 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
• Experience with programming, scripting or statistical packages (e.g. Python, R, Matlab, SQL) is a plus

What We Require

• Ability to travel 25 – 75% required. Varies by location and team
• Active US Security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance

Build to Apply

You will create potential for expedited consideration by showcasing what you create upfront to the hiring team. Gain experience with & access to our Foundry product and Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP).

Objective

• Identify a Problem & Innovate with Data : This is your opportunity to identify a problem you care about and create a solution using our Foundry & AIP products. This can be inspired by your professional work, academic projects, current events, a workflow or app you wish you had in life, or anything else you find to be impactful! You are encouraged to bring publicly available data, or create your own notional data, to enrich your project. LLMs, AI, and other technical tools are permitted and encouraged during the building of your project. Your workflow must leverage AIP capabilities in addition to the Foundry platform, and you will be assessed on your ability to integrate these capabilities into your demo.
• Submit a demo video: Showcase your project in a < 5 minute video demonstrating the components of your workflow. This is your chance to show off what you built and explain the how/why behind your solution. We're looking to understand why you selected the problem, how you approached the use case leveraging our products, and the solution you developed.
• Submission Date: Please submit your application within 7-10 days of when you begin building.
