A WORLD-CHANGING COMPANY

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

Are you passionate about engineering quality, efficiency, and increasing the impact of engineers around you?
Software Engineers at Palantir build software that transforms how the world’s most important organisations use data. As an engineer focused on Frontend Developer Productivity, you’ll work within our Frontend Infrastructure group to identify, develop, and drive investments to improve the velocity and quality of our engineering.

Our frontend infrastructure group covers our entire frontend development stack, from the developer experience in the IDE to the final user experience in the browser. Across the group, we are responsible for developing and maintaining:

• The build and CI system for a large frontend monorepo with millions of lines of code and hundreds of active developers.
• Core infrastructure required to develop and serve our frontends, including feature flags, internationalisation, and commit previews.
• A GraphQL API for declarative data loading, spanning many underlying services.
• Blueprint, the open source UI framework used by all of Palantir’s applications and thousands of developers around the world.
• A variety of tools and VSCode extensions that improve developer experience across the company.

With an ambitious roadmap ahead of us, you’ll have the opportunity to make a lasting difference on application development at Palantir.
