Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.
The Role
Palantir is at the forefront of some of the most critical and challenging problems in the world. We develop alongside our customers everyday. Our customers span from the cloud to the frontline. As we adapt to solve their most pressing issues in latency and compute cost, we are building a team of software engineers relentlessly focussed on low-level optimization and novel compute architectures. This is a team of hackers optimizing everything from Palantir software at the far-edge to steaming pipelines lowering cloud compute cost.
This role requires an experienced software engineer who is well versed in low-level development in compiled languages such as Rust, C/C++ or Go. A successful candidate can optimize software in constrained embedded devices or across large-scale distributed systems. You should have strong knowledge of computer architecture and OS internals.
Core Responsibilities:
Develop high-performance software that can run in distributed systems at the edge and in the cloud.
Process high-bandwidth sensor and network data streams to provide real-time insights to customers.
Architect optimized software systems that are hardware-aware.
Interact directly with our customers to derive requirements.
What We Value:
Ability to independently decompose and solve ambiguous, complex problems alongside customers with minimal guidance
Deep knowledge of computer architecture and experience in hardware-software interfaces.
Basic Linux and IP networking knowledge
Experience in low-level software/algorithm development preferred (e.x. SIMD, GPU, FPGA).
What We Require:
2+ years of software development experience
Strong coding and debugging skills in compiled languages (Rust, C/C++, etc.).
Active US Security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance.

Therefore, we encourage employees to work from our offices to foster connectivity and innovation. Many teams do offer hybrid options (WFH a day or two a week), allowing our employees to strike the right trade-off for their personal productivity. Based on business need, there are a few roles that allow for “Remote” work on an exceptional basis. If you are applying for one of these roles, you must work from the state in which you are employed. If the posting is specified as Onsite, you are required to work from an office.
