How You'll Create Opportunities in This Role

• Technical Direction and Solution Leadership: Lead technical design for Palantir applications, workflows, integrations, and platform capabilities. Define implementation approaches, guide architecture decisions, and ensure solutions are built with appropriate security, reliability, maintainability, and performance considerations.

• Engineering Standards and Patterns: Establish and promote reusable engineering patterns, coding practices, testing expectations, documentation standards, and support models for Foundry-based applications across project teams.

• Foundry Platform Enablement: Guide the use of Foundry capabilities such as Workshop, Ontology, Pipeline Builder, Functions, Actions, Code Repositories, security/access management, lineage, and deployment patterns. Help teams apply these capabilities consistently and appropriately.

• Design Reviews and Quality Oversight: Review complex designs and code, identify technical risks, challenge weak implementation approaches, and ensure applications are built to meet business goals and long-term support expectations.

• Mentorship and Team Development: Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentoring to engineers. Help raise the team's capability by sharing knowledge, reviewing work, and supporting consistent engineering practices.

• Cross-Project Technical Planning: Identify dependencies, shared components, technical debt, and cross-team impacts across projects. Partner with product owners, architects, and managers to align technical delivery with project and portfolio priorities.

• Production Support and Technical Escalation: Serve as a technical escalation point for complex production issues. Lead root-cause analysis, recommend durable fixes, and help improve monitoring, supportability, and operational readiness.

• Client Service and Communication: Communicate technical options, risks, recommendations, and tradeoffs clearly to business users, technology teams, vendors, management, and senior leaders.

Technical Competencies

• Palantir Foundry Leadership: Guide application teams in the use of Foundry capabilities such as Workshop, Ontology, Pipeline Builder, Functions, Actions, Code Repositories, security/access management, lineage, and deployment patterns.

• Solution Architecture: Lead solution design for complex applications, integrations, workflows, and data models. Identify technical risks, evaluate tradeoffs, and recommend practical approaches that can be supported over time.

• Engineering Standards: Establish and reinforce standards for code quality, testing, documentation, deployment, troubleshooting, and operational support across Foundry application teams.

• Application Engineering: Develop and review maintainable solutions using modern engineering practices and technologies such as TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, SQL, APIs, Git, automated testing, and CI/CD concepts.

• Data and Integration: Guide data modeling, transformation, integration, data quality, and connection patterns for enterprise systems, files, databases, APIs, and Foundry-based solutions.

• Technical Mentorship: Coach engineers through design decisions, implementation challenges, code reviews, troubleshooting, and adoption of consistent engineering practices.

• Agentic Development: Experience using different LLMs. Knowledge of different models, experience working with MCP, and familiarity with different agentic coding frameworks.
