Software Engineer, New Grad - Infrastructure

The Role

Software Engineers at Palantir build software at scale to transform how organizations around the world use data. As an engineer within Palantir’s Foundations organization, you’ll have the opportunity to grow quickly as you build the shared infrastructure that underpins the Palantir Foundry, Palantir Gotham, and Palantir Apollo platforms, and drive investments to improve the velocity and quality of our engineering.

Teams within Palantir’s Foundations organization focus on one of four major categories of infrastructure:

• Backend Infrastructure: Maximizes developer productivity and ensures platforms have performant and consistent RESTful services, performant microservice builds, and reliable audit logs.
• Developer Infrastructure: Operates the systems and services underpinning our developer ecosystem, including off-the-shelf tooling like GitHub and custom tooling for managing automated changes across repositories.
• Frontend Infrastructure: Maximizes frontend productivity across the stack—from IDE developer experience to browser user experience, build tooling for TypeScript, feature flags, and UI frameworks.
• Storage Infrastructure: Develops database and search systems across cloud, on-premise, and secure environments to support high data scale and low latency requirements.

Core Responsibilities

• Improve developer experience for Palantir engineers, or enhance the scalability and reliability of Palantir’s platforms.

• Passion for helping other developers build better applications.
• Empathy for the impact changes have on workflows and productivity.
• Ability to communicate and collaborate with diverse individuals, including engineers, users, and non-technical team members.
• Willingness to learn, make decisions independently, and ask questions effectively.
• Eagerness to delve into open-source library source code to understand inner workings or debug issues.
• Staying up to date with industry practices and open-source advancements.
• Active US Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one.

What We Require

• Engineering background in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, or Physics.
• Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, frontend frameworks, and other technical tools.
• Experience coding in programming languages, such as Java, C++, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, or similar languages.

Application Requirements

• Updated resume / CV in PDF format.
