Palantir is at the forefront of some of the most critical and challenging problems in the world. We develop alongside our customers everyday. Our customers span from the cloud to the frontline. As we adapt to solve their most pressing issues in latency, performance, and compute cost, we are building a team of software engineers relentlessly focused on low-level optimization and novel compute architectures.
Requirements
- Strong coding and debugging skills in compiled, native languages (e.g., Rust, C, C++).
- Experience developing, maintaining, and debugging software for resource-constrained environments.
- Deep knowledge of computer architecture and experience with hardware-software interfaces.
- Proficiency with Linux and basic IP networking concepts.
- Systems programming experience (e.g., writing device drivers or implementing custom TCP/UDP protocols).
Responsibilities
- Develop high-performance software that runs in distributed systems at the edge and in the cloud.
- Process high-bandwidth sensor and network data streams to deliver real-time insights.
- Architect optimized, hardware-aware software systems.
- Collaborate directly with customers to derive and refine requirements.
- Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and mentor other engineers as needed.
Other
- 4+ years of professional software development experience.
- Ability to independently decompose and solve ambiguous, complex problems alongside customers with minimal guidance.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Active US Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one.
