About The Position

As a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer (Delta), you will serve as the technical leader at the intersection of Palantir Foundry's platform capabilities and our most complex, high-impact healthcare data and operational engagements. This role combines deep technical expertise in Palantir Foundry with strategic deployment leadership, driving transformational outcomes for our kidney care and healthcare operations. The Delta designation reflects a commitment to driving change and transformation — you are the catalyst who bridges the gap between what the platform can do and what it should do for our unique operational context. You will be expected to be hands-on and an independent FDE owning, architecting enterprise-grade solutions, development, deployment, mentor as needed and shape the technical strategy for critical engagements across our client's healthcare ecosystem.
