Forward Deployed Engineer

Forward Deployed Engineer

Location: Remote (US or Canada)
 

Our customer is looking to add an experienced Forward Deployed Engineer to their engineering team.

This is not a traditional data engineering role. They’re looking for someone who enjoys solving ambiguous business problems, building demonstrations, iterating quickly with stakeholders, and delivering production-ready applications from concept through deployment.

You’ll work alongside domain experts and engineering leadership to build decision intelligence solutions supporting complex operational environments.

What You’ll Do:

• Partner with business stakeholders to understand operational challenges and

translate them into software solutions.

• Design and develop end-to-end applications using Palantir Foundry, Ontology,

and Foundry-native application frameworks.

• Model complex operational domains including assets, facilities, supply chains,

incidents, processes, and critical infrastructure.

• Build production-grade applications supporting disruption monitoring, alert

triage, scenario analysis, workflow automation, and operational decision

support.

• Integrate enterprise systems, APIs, event streams, IoT data, and third-party data

sources into scalable operational workflows.

• Rapidly prototype solutions, build demonstrations, gather feedback, and iterate

toward production-ready applications.

• Collaborate with technical and domain specialists to design secure, scalable

architectures.

• Develop reusable frameworks and accelerators that can be leveraged across

multiple initiatives.

Ideal candidates will have:

• Commercial experience delivering solutions on Palantir Foundry.

• Experience with Ontology modeling and Foundry-native application

development.

• Strong software engineering skills using Python and modern frontend

technologies such as TypeScript or JavaScript.

• Experience building APIs, integrations, and production applications.

• The ability to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.

• Experience taking products from zero to one – not simply maintaining existing

pipelines.

• A strong ownership mindset and the ability to work independently in fast-moving

environments.

• Willingness to travel occasionally as required.
