Job summary

Palantir Technologies in Seattle is seeking frontend engineers to build real-time control and visualization software for autonomous defence systems. You will turn live data from radar, cameras, RF, and autonomous platforms into fast, intuitive 3D operator interfaces.

You'll create interactive 3D environments using Three.js and WebGL, render live streams via WebSockets, and visualize trajectories and sensor coverage while collaborating with robotics, autonomy and geospatial teams.

Qualifications

• Approximately 2-6 years of software engineering experience.
• Production experience with complex, data-intensive interfaces.
• Experience consuming and visualising real-time data through WebSockets or similar technologies.
• Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes.

Responsibilities

• Build interactive 3D environments using Three.js and WebGL.

Job description

Hybrid: DC, NYC, Palo Alto, Seattle or Denver

If rendering thousands of moving objects in 3D without destroying the frame rate sounds more interesting than building another CRUD dashboard, keep reading.

We're working with Palantir to find frontend engineers for a new team building real-time control and visualisation software for autonomous defence systems.

You'll turn live data from radar, cameras, RF systems and autonomous platforms into fast, accurate and intuitive 3D operator interfaces. Think high-frequency sensor streams, noisy data, moving targets, geospatial state and real-world decisions.

The fun stuff

• Build interactive 3D environments using Three.js and WebGL
• Render live tracking and sensor data through WebSockets
• Visualise trajectories, sensor coverage and autonomous responses
• Integrate with track-fusion and sensor-calibration algorithms
• Support air-traffic avoidance and autonomous-system control
• Optimise rendering performance, memory use and frame rates
• Deploy software to edge infrastructure in operational environments
• Collaborate with engineers across robotics, autonomy, perception and geospatial systems

What Palantir needs

• Approximately 2-6 years of software engineering experience
• A genuine frontend specialisation
• Production experience with complex, data-intensive interfaces
• Experience consuming and visualising real-time data through WebSockets or similar technologies
• Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes
• A CS, robotics or related degree, or equivalent practical experience
• Eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security Clearance
• Willingness to travel approximately 25-75%, depending on the project

You don't need previous defence experience. Backgrounds in autonomous vehicles, robotics, aerospace, simulation, gaming, geospatial technology, digital twins or industrial systems could translate brilliantly.

The good stuff

• $135,000-200,000 base + RSUs
• Take-What-You-Need PTO
• Health insurance
• Life insurance and gym discounts
• Hybrid working across five Palantir offices
• Three openings within a newly formed team
• Serious ownership, technical challenge and real-world impact

Specific benefits may vary by office and eligibility.

Palantir's hiring bar is high, but so is the quality of the engineering. If React, real-time streaming and interactive 3D systems sit squarely in your happy place, we'd love to hear from you.
