Software Engineer, New Grad - Production Infrastructure

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.

Role

Software Engineers at Palantir drive large-scale transformation through data, AI and world-leading infrastructure that supports mission-critical workloads. In this role, you’ll have an opportunity to grow quickly as you contribute high-quality code directly to:

• Rubix and Apollo, platforms deployed at the most important institutions across the public and private sectors
• Shaping Mission Manager, our internal-infrastructure business line used by advanced civil and defense agencies worldwide to power their infrastructure in highly sensitive environments
• Building the core capabilities used by advanced civil and defense agencies worldwide to power their infrastructure
• Providing the substrate on which Palantir deploys its other platforms, Foundry and Gotham, which power workflows for research scientists, aerospace engineers, intelligence analysts and economic forecasters

You’ll join our Production Infrastructure organization, made up of small teams of engineers working on:

• Environment Platform: a Kubernetes-based PaaS spanning hundreds of production clusters
• Apollo: secure, fleet-wide deployment and change-management for complex microservice suites
• Signals: our full suite of observability and alerting tools

Core Responsibilities

As a Software Engineer at Palantir, you’ll own every phase of the product lifecycle—from generating ideas and designing prototypes to executing features and shipping releases—while being paired with a dedicated mentor who champions your growth. You’ll work hand-in-hand with both technical and non-technical colleagues to uncover real customer problems and deliver solutions that address them. To gain firsthand insight, you might sit side-saddle at a military exercise or partner directly with vendors using Palantir’s Apollo & Rubix to put our software into the hands of warfighters and government workers.
