Qualifications of this Role:

• A strong engineering background, with an education in Computer Science or related fields.
• A logical, practical, and innovative approach to problem solving.
• Strong, clear, and professional customer-facing communication skills, with the ability to discuss technical concepts accurately and succinctly with both technical and non-technical people.
• Strong programming skills with proficiency in languages such as Python, SQL, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and a willingness to quickly learn new technologies.
• Experience with data engineering fundamentals, ingesting data, designing efficient and practical data schemas.
• Experience building and delivering software or web-based applications to end users.
• General knowledge and interest in state-of-the-art technology, with familiarity in using Generative AI and awareness of key concepts.
• A quick learner who is willing to make decisions, take action, accept responsibility, and ensure that our clients can rely on us to deliver excellence.
• Experience working with the Palantir Foundry platform is desirable, but not essential.
