Job Description:
A World-Changing Company At Palantir, we---re passionate about
building software that solves problems. We partner with the most
important institutions in the world to transform how they use data
and technology. Our software has been used to stop terrorist
attacks, discover new medicines, gain an edge in global financial
markets, and more. If these types of projects excite you, we'd love
for you to join us. The Role Software Engineers at Palantir build
software at scale to transform how organizations around the world
use data. A graduate role as a SWE is an opportunity to grow more
quickly than you ever imagined, as you contribute high-quality code
directly to Palantir Gotham or Palantir Foundry: products that are
deployed at some of the most important institutions across the
public and private sectors. You'll build features used by research
scientists, aerospace engineers, intelligence analysts, and
economic forecasters, in countries around the world. Palantir's
Product Development organization is made up of small teams of
Software Engineers, each focusing on a specific aspect of a
product. For example, you might be part of a team that builds a
Foundry front-end application, or a component of the Gotham release
infrastructure. We encourage movement among teams to share context,
skills, and experience, so you'll learn about many different
aspects of each product. As a Software Engineer, you are involved
throughout the product lifecycle - from idea generation, design,
and prototyping to execution and shipping. You'll collaborate
closely with technical and non-technical counterparts to understand
our customers' problems and build products that solve them. One of
the most effective ways to understand what our users need is to
meet them. You may receive an opportunity to tour the assembly line
at an auto-manufacturer or join a counter-terror analyst at their
desk to really understand their mission and pain points. SWE
principles include: --- Ownership: We see projects through from
beginning to end in spite of obstacles we may encounter. ---
Collaboration: We work internally with people from a variety of
backgrounds --- such as other Software Engineers, Product Managers,
Designers and Product Reliability Engineers. We also partner with
our business development teams (Forward Deployed Engineers,
Deployment Strategists) in order to understand and solve our
customers' problems. --- Trust: We trust each other to effectively
manage time and priorities, and don't micromanage. We want people
to have the space to think for themselves, while feeling supported
by their team. Technologies We Use It doesn---t matter what
languages you know when you join us, but it does matter that you
can write clean, effective code and learn new languages quickly.
Our software is constantly evolving, so we need engineers who can
do the same. Alongside peers that bring diverse experience -
whether you---re a former university TA, switched to CS recently,
or are a hackathon enthusiast --- you'll build your skillset to
apply the best technology to solve a given problem.--- Right now,
we use: --- A variety of languages, including Java and Go for back
end and Typescript for front end --- Open-source technologies like
Cassandra, Spark, ElasticSearch, React, and Redux ---
