About The Position

We are seeking a full-time, fully remote Forward Deployed Software Engineer I to design, build, and deploy production-grade solutions on Palantir Foundry. Working closely with customers, product, and engineering teams, you will help transform complex operational challenges into scalable systems that drive measurable business outcomes. This is a hands-on role for builders who are eager to learn, take ownership, and grow their technical expertise while solving meaningful real-world problems.

Requirements

0-2 years of experience in product development, software engineering, data engineering, or related technical roles
Experience with Palantir Foundry in production environments strongly preferred.
Experience in healthcare and/or supply chain domains strongly preferred.
Experience building software applications, data pipelines, or full-stack solutions.
Working knowledge of Foundry-relevant languages and paradigms (e.g., Python, SQL, ontology-driven design).
Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-moving problem spaces.
Ability to learn to work directly with stakeholders and translate business needs into technical solutions while communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience working close to operations, logistics, or regulated environments preferred.
Familiarity with deploying and supporting solutions used by non-technical end users preferred.
Exposure to AI enabled software development and building analytics-enabled workflows within Foundry preferred.
Demonstrated ability to analyze complex problems, break them into manageable components, and drive solutions to completion.
Strong problem-solving skills, technical curiosity, and a practical, results-oriented approach to solution development.
Ability to successfully pass a pre-employment (post-offer) background check and drug screening.
Bachelor's degree in Business, Healthcare Administration, Software Engineering, or a related field strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain end-to-end Foundry solutions, including data ingestion and integration pipelines, ontology and semantic data models, and Foundry applications and user-facing workflows.
Work across the stack using Foundry-native tools to deliver solutions that are production-ready, secure, governed, scalable, and supportable.
Integrate data from diverse source systems (APIs, files, databases, and external partners), ensuring data quality, reliability, and observability across pipelines, and troubleshoot data and application issues in production environments.
Follow and uphold platform guardrails for tenant isolation, RBAC and access controls, data lineage, and auditability.
Treat “done” as release-ready, not just code-complete.
Ensure solutions are maintainable and can be supported by downstream teams.
Collaborate with other FDEs, architects, and platform engineers to align on standards, patterns, and best practices.
Document solution designs, data flows, and operational considerations.
Continuously expand Foundry, domain, and full-stack expertise.
Support occasional on-site internal or customer events (less than 10% travel).
Perform other duties as assigned.
