## Description

A Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE) works directly with customers to understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them. With a strong engineering background and analytical mindset, you'll apply your problem-solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organisations use their data to drive a real impact in the world.

As an FDSE, your responsibilities will be similar to those of a startup CTO: you'll work in small teams with minimal supervision and own end-to-end execution of high-stakes projects. Your day might span discussing architecture with fellow engineers, wrangling massive-scale data, coding a custom web app, speaking with customer executives, or establishing strategy for your team.

**Core Responsibilities**

- Impact: We take on meaningful and challenging projects that change the world for the better.

- Ownership: We see projects through from beginning to end, working through any obstacles we may encounter.

- Collaboration: We work internally with people from a variety of backgrounds and externally with our customers to understand and solve their problems.

- Trust: We trust each other to effectively manage time and priorities and give people the space to think for themselves.

- Growth: We encourage ourselves and our peers to seek new challenges and opportunities for growth, as well as find new ways to innovate and share knowledge.

- Learning: We often face entirely novel problems where we need to pick up a lot of new knowledge and learn how to use it to make progress.

**What We Value**

- Strong engineering background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, and Data Science.

- Highly analytical mindset and eagerness to solve technical problems with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools.

- Experience or interest in working with and using large-scale data to solve valuable business problems.

- Strong coder with demonstrated proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.

- Ability to collaborate effectively in teams of technical and non-technical individuals, and comfortable working in a rapidly changing environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users.

- Ability to continuously learn, work independently, and make decisions with minimal supervision.

- Willingness and interest to travel as needed to client sites.

**Additional Information**

Life at Palantir prioritises individual growth and well-being, offering various benefits and opportunities for development. While in-person work fosters connectivity and innovation, many teams offer hybrid options for work-life balance.
