Contribute to ontology design: object types, link types, properties, and business logic across operational use cases

Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis on your shift during critical operational events

Translate stakeholder requirements into scalable Foundry solutions

Support release management, deployment promotion, testing coordination, and environment governance

Maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and architecture diagrams

Mentor junior engineers on Workshop development and Foundry best practices

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related field, plus 3–5 years of software engineering or systems integration experience

In lieu of a degree: at least 7 years of relevant experience

Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry Ontology Manager, Workshop, Actions, and Pipeline Builder

Experience with Python, TypeScript, or Java in Foundry development workflows
