Full Job Description
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.
The Role
Palantir Foundry is an end-to-end platform
for data-driven decision-making. We're transforming the way
organisations securely integrate their data, so they can then build
reliable, critical applications atop that unified foundation. Our
customers use Foundry to perform rich analyses that drive core
operations within their organisations. They can also build
sophisticated, full-fledged programs, such as common operating
pictures, alert-triaging inboxes, and resource allocation planning
tools driven by rich-ML models.
As a Full
Stack Engineer focused on application development in Foundry, you will
be responsible for crafting the tools used by thousands of users to
build the sophisticated applications that power their businesses. You
will be architecting and developing interfaces, state management and
access patterns to support data-intensive workflows that are both
powerful and approachable. You may spend one day interviewing users to
better understand their needs and identifying product gaps to improve.
The next day, you might find yourself considering that customer
context along with signal gathered from other customers in different
industries, brainstorming approaches to handling intricate UX needs
with your teammates.
You’ll regularly be
faced with sophisticated technical problems, requiring you to scope
out the solution design and finding an incremental path to shipping
the new features. As part of this, you will own APIs and schemas that
power your frontend code, or work with other backend engineers in
developing them together.
We're hiring
engineers who are passionate about solving real-world problems and
empowering both customer app builders and end-users to do their work
optimally. Below are some examples of the types of product work you’d
get to do in this role:
Core Responsibilities
- Working as part of a community of engineers building shared frontend tooling to enable teams across Foundry
- Designing and building for high-scale data intensive APIs (example)
- Developing interactive workflow UIs
- Building products which aim to make technical concepts accessible for non-technical users
- Creating low-code/no-code WYSIWYG tools, which enable application builders within Foundry to build products for their users
Technologies We Use
- Typescript, React, and GQL are central to our frontend development.
- Blueprint as a re-usable front end component library.
- A combination of open-source and internal technologies that suit the problems at hand.
- Industry-standard build tooling, including Gradle, Webpack, GitHub, and CircleCI.
What We Value
- Passion for improving user workflows and building user interfaces that enable users to tackle their problems, while still maintaining engineering quality.
- Ability to work collaboratively in teams of technical and non-technical individuals and understand how technical decisions impact the people who will use what you're building.
- Skill and comfort working in a constantly evolving environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users.
- Experience brainstorming and iterating with product designers.
- Experience building high-quality software in a fast-paced CI/CD development environment.
- Proven ability to learn continuously, work independently, and make decisions with minimal supervision.
- Ability to learn new technology and concepts, even without in-depth experience.
- Active UK Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain a UK Security clearance is beneficial, but not necessary.
What We
Require
- 2+ years of frontend software engineering experience.
- Strong frontend coding skills used to write clean, effective code, regardless of framework, and existing proficiency in JavaScript and understanding of how web technologies work.
- Familiarity with data structures, loading patterns, frontend frameworks, and other technical tools and concepts.
- Proficiency with programming languages such as JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar languages.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
