About The Position

Agile Defense is hiring an MSS Developer Engineer to build and maintain mission-critical analytics and applications supporting J7 mission workflows at SOUTHCOM HQ in Doral, Florida. The role develops operator-facing dashboards, applications, decision surfaces, self-service data exploration capabilities, and automated workflows, while ensuring the accuracy and consistency of MSS deliverables.

The position involves hands-on engineering on MSS and the underlying Palantir stack, including developing data pipelines, ontology, and access controls; integrating external sources into a well-modeled data foundation; and supporting AI/AIP workflows. The developer creates visualizations, interactive tools, alerts, monitoring systems, and performance strategies to enable data-driven decisions. The role also provides day-to-day operator support, documents analytical practices, contributes reusable platform content, and supports validation of the FDE&T model for potential extension to other commands.

The position requires U.S. citizenship, at least an active Secret security clearance, and onsite work in a SCIF. Higher-level clearances, including TS/SCI, may be required for some assignments and candidates must be able to obtain and maintain them as applicable.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a quantitative discipline; extensive Palantir experience may substitute.
• At least 4 years of software or data engineering experience; data analysis or data science experience is also considered.
• At least 1.5 years of hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry, Gotham, AIP, or MSS.
• Demonstrated experience building dashboards, applications, or pipelines for operational end users.
• Working proficiency in ontology design and pipeline authoring using PySpark, Code Repositories, or Pipeline Builder.
• Active U.S. government security clearance.
• Must be a U.S. citizen.
• Must be able to work onsite in a SCIF.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with DoD data environments and classified networks.
• Prior Combatant Command support.
• Solid Python and SQL skills, with familiarity in JavaScript/TypeScript.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain operator-facing dashboards, applications, and decision surfaces aligned to J7 mission workflows.
• Create self-service capabilities that enable operators to explore data independently.
• Build automated workflows that deliver timely insights to stakeholders across the directorate.
• Ensure data accuracy and consistency across MSS deliverables.
• Develop and maintain data pipelines, ontology, and access controls on MSS and the underlying Palantir stack.
• Integrate external data sources into a well-modeled data foundation.
• Ensure AI/AIP workflows have a well-modeled data foundation and surface model outputs in operationally useful ways.
• Partner with mission leaders to understand analytical needs and translate requirements into technical solutions.
• Create data visualizations that communicate complex insights to diverse audiences.
• Build interactive tools that allow operators to drill down into data and explore scenarios.
• Design alerting and monitoring systems to proactively identify mission opportunities and risks.
• Collaborate with teams to establish KPIs and success metrics that drive mission performance.
• Develop efficient data models and query optimization strategies for fast, reliable reporting.
• Implement caching and aggregation strategies to optimize dashboard and application performance.
• Build scalable MSS solutions that support growing data volumes and user bases.
• Provide day-to-day operator support and escalate complex platform issues to senior engineers as appropriate.
• Contribute reusable platform content, including ontology patterns, dashboard templates, and integration recipes, to support continuous curriculum refresh.
• Document data sources, metric definitions, and analytical methodologies for organizational knowledge.
• Support validation of the FDE&T model for potential extension to additional Combatant Commands, Service components, and functional commands.
