Role Summary & Mission

The Platform Engineer - Palantir is the technical owner of Acrisure’s Palantir environment, responsible for the substrate that every Palantir use case is built on. The role is an internal‑facing position and combines senior strategy with hands‑on implementation. The engineer sets the strategy for ingress & egress, permissions architecture, environment topology, compute & storage cost optimization, release governance, and reusable component catalog, and then executes that strategy on the platform.

Key Responsibilities

Hands‑On Platform Operations

• Actively configure and operate Palantir tenant settings across the platform stack – Projects, Groups, Markings, Roles, Resource Queues, Compute, and product‑level controls – making changes directly in the platform rather than routing them to engineers.
• Design and implement the ingress strategy – source system connections, connectors, schema management, and standards for incremental, batch, and streaming data flows.
• Design and implement the egress strategy – Marketplace exports, OSDK and external API exposure, file/data export controls, and downstream consumption boundaries.
• Own the permissions architecture across the platform – marking taxonomy, group hierarchy, role assignments, and least‑privilege standards – and personally maintain the most sensitive configurations.
• Personally triage and resolve platform admin issues – permissions, provisioning, ingress/egress configuration, and resource queue contention – rather than routing them to Platform Engineers or Palantir support.
• Be a go‑to resource for external teams leveraging the Palantir Platform and escalating questions and issues for resolution.

Componentization & Reusability

• Drive the platform‑wide reusable component catalog – pipeline templates, Ontology patterns, Workshop building blocks, OSDK modules, Marketplace products, reusable agents, and shared utilities.
• Establish standards for what gets componentized, how components are versioned and documented, and how they are discovered and consumed by FD Delta, FD Echo, and the broader Platform.
• Partner with FD Delta and FD Echo to extract reusable patterns from delivered use cases, promote them into the catalog, and consolidate duplication across the portfolio.
• Maintain a library of platform‑management components – provisioning workflows, permissions templates, audit reports, cost dashboards – that the Platform Engineering team uses to operate the environment efficiently.

Cost & Resource Optimization

• Own end‑to‑end FinOps for the Palantir environment – usage forecasting, compute optimization, build schedule efficiency, storage tiering, and licensing utilization across all platform tools.
• Establish resource quotas, project allocation models, and guardrails across the Platform portfolio to prevent runaway cost while enabling delivery velocity.
• Identify and remediate cost anomalies in real time; partner with Finance on chargeback, showback, and capacity‑based budgeting models.
• Present cost‑to‑value tradeoffs, capacity decisions, and reusability ROI to the CTO and executive sponsors with supporting data, framed in business terms.

Governance, Standards & Team Leadership

• Establish and enforce platform governance standards – branching strategy, environment promotion (dev/staging/prod), release approvals, and change management – and define the SLAs for platform admin services that the Platform Engineering team commits to.
• Drive the Palantir platform security posture in partnership with InfoSec and Data team – marking taxonomy, audit logging, sensitive data handling, and compliance support (SOC2, NYDFS, GDPR, and other applicable regimes).
• Maintain platform standards documentation and ensure adherence across FD Delta, FD Echo, Platform Engineering, and Palantir FD Team contributions.
• Support the Platform Engineering team – mentoring, technical direction, standards setting, and escalation triage for platform constraints raised by FD Partner, FD Delta, and FD Echo.
• Coordinate directly with Palantir on platform upgrades, feature rollouts, and capability roadmap alignment.

Required Skills & Competencies

Palantir Platform Proficiency

• Deep hands‑on expertise with Palantir tenant administration across the platform stack – Projects, Groups, Markings, Roles, Resource Management, Compute Modules, and audit/observability tooling.
• Hands‑on experience with ingress patterns – connectors, agent‑based ingestion, source system integration, and pipeline scheduling at enterprise scale.
• Hands‑on experience with egress controls – Marketplace, OSDK external endpoints, data export governance, and external‑facing API exposure.
• Working proficiency across the Palantir product surface – Foundry (Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, Ontology, Workshop, OSDK), AIP (Agent Studio, Logic, Evals), and adjacent products (Marketplace, Quiver).
• Strong Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, and SQL skills – the Platform Engineer writes platform tooling, automation, reusable components, and remediation code.
• Componentization & Standards – demonstrated experience building and maintaining shared component libraries, internal developer platforms, or reusable pattern catalogs.
• API design and abstraction instincts – knows when something is ready to be a reusable component versus a one‑off implementation.
• Documentation and developer‑experience sensibility – components must be discovered, understood, and adopted.

Platform Operations & FinOps

• Demonstrated experience operating an enterprise data platform at scale – Foundry, Snowflake, Databricks, or equivalent.
• Strong FinOps fundamentals – usage forecasting, compute and storage cost optimization, chargeback model design, and capacity planning.
• Experience with release management, CI/CD pipelines, and environment promotion strategies.

Governance & Security

• Working knowledge of enterprise security and access control patterns – RBAC, ABAC, attribute‑based markings, least privilege, identity federation, and SSO.
• Experience supporting compliance frameworks – SOC2, NYDFS, GDPR, HIPAA, or similar regulated environments.
• Demonstrated comfort partnering with InfoSec, Internal Audit, and Enterprise Architecture peers – translating platform mechanics into audience‑specific language.

Leadership & Communication

• Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a senior technical team – contributing to direction and standards while executing hands‑on tasks.
• Ability to present platform cost, capacity, reusability, and risk tradeoffs to a CTO/CIO‑level audience and translate technical decisions into business outcomes.
• Strong written communication skills – author governance documents, RFCs, architecture decision records, component specifications, and platform standards.

Experience & Education

• 5–10+ years of experience operating, architecting, and administering enterprise platforms.
• Prior Palantir Foundry administration experience strongly preferred.
• Experienced platform leads from Snowflake, Databricks, or AWS/Azure‑native enterprise data stacks encouraged to apply.
• Prior experience in insurance, financial services, or similarly regulated industries is a strong plus.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
• Optional Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Business, Finance, or related business field.

Success Metrics / KPIs

• Admin Request SLA Adherence – % of access, provisioning, ingress/egress, and configuration requests fulfilled within committed turnaround targets.
• Cost Efficiency – compute, storage, and licensing cost per active use case trending favorably quarter‑over‑quarter.
• Permissions Hygiene – % of projects, groups, and markings in compliance with least‑privilege standards; reduction in audit findings.
• Ingress / Egress Posture – zero unauthorized data movement events; 100% of inbound and outbound data flows mapped, classified, and approved.
• Component Catalog Adoption – # of reusable components in the catalog and % of new use cases consuming ≥1 cataloged component.
• Platform Team Throughput – Platform Engineering velocity against capacity plan; reduction in cross‑pod escalations and repeat requests.

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive compensation.
• Generous vacation and paid time off.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits (employee‑paid).
• Company‑paid disability insurance and life insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Flexible spending and commuter benefits.
• Parental leave, fertility support, and family benefits.
• Career development opportunities – and more (offerings may vary by entity or location).
