The Role

Palantir has been selected as the prime contractor for the development and delivery of the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) ground station system, the Army's next-generation deep-sensing capability enabled by artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). The TITAN team will be focused on the development of 10 TITAN prototypes, including five Advanced and five Basic variants, as well as the integration of new critical technologies to will modernize the sensor to shooter workflow in support of Army long range precision fires.

As an Infrastructure Engineer, every day is different. Your work is broadly divided across support, operations, and project work. We strongly believe in engineering teams being responsible for the operations of their services in production. As such, you'll work closely with forward deployed teams and product teams to advocate and participate in sensible, scalable, systems design and share responsibility with them in diagnosing, resolving, and preventing production issues.
Core Responsibilities
  • Handle support and operations of Palantir software, including monitoring and alerting, configuration management, and upgrades.
  • Deploy new Palantir products at customer deployments and perform migrations to the latest infrastructure types.
  • Debug, improve, and optimize Palantir's services and infrastructure with a focus on long-term reliability and scalability.
  • Reduce manual operations and automate workflows, processes, and/or runbooks where possible.
  • Provide technical troubleshooting support for production issues, ensuring timely resolution and minimal impact on operations. Participate in a support on-call schedule.
What We Value
  • Confidence in troubleshooting complex systems issues independently using observability tools and stack traces.
  • Ability to identify and automate highly manual tasks, driving ongoing improvements within and across teams.
  • Comfort with large scale production systems and technologies - for example, load balancing, monitoring, distributed systems, or configuration management.
  • Proficiency with programming languages such as Java, Python, Bash, JavaScript, Golang or similar languages and be comfortable coding and/or utilizing tooling built in these languages.
  • Ability to work with a high level of autonomy and responsibility in a rapidly changing environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
Technologies We Use
  • Core Palantir products provide the foundations for our deployments.
  • Amazon Web Services and on-premises servers.
  • CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
  • Prometheus and Grafana.
  • Oracle, Postgres, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Hadoop, and Spark for distributed data storage and parallel computing.
  • Python, Java and Bash.
What We Require
  • Active US Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance.
