Palantir

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

Apollo is Palantir's product that enables autonomous management and continuous deployment of mission critical software, wherever it is. We’re transforming the way organisations around the world deploy software, taking SAAS where SAAS has not gone before: from on-premise, to various cloud providers, to disconnected environments (air-gapped), to strict accreditation frameworks, and to the edge.

As a Full Stack Engineer on the Apollo platform you will be responsible for the experience of thousands of users, architecting interfaces that make sophisticated deployment and monitoring tasks simple. You might spend one day interviewing users to understand their complex workflows and the next brainstorming mockups with Product Designers. Another day, you could tackle automating a workflow, partnering with backend engineers to wire up your code with the APIs, or if you’re really up for a challenge, building them yourself!

We're hiring engineers who are passionate about the whole development lifecycle — not just fixing bugs or maintaining legacy code — from idea generation, user interviews, planning, design, prototyping, execution, shipping, and iteration.
