Forward Deployed Engineer (Palantir Foundry & Custom Development)

Your impact

We're looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE I) to build alongside more experienced FDEs, Implementation Leads, and Architects, executing well-defined requirements across Foundry and custom applications. You'll work across multiple active projects, learning to move between domains quickly — with guidance close at hand when requirements are unclear or you're in unfamiliar territory. This isn't a role where you get one project and go deep for a year; you'll be building real range early in your career, with support built into how the work is structured.

This role doesn't carry people leadership responsibility. What it does require is a strong technical foundation, genuine curiosity across both Foundry and custom development, and the ability to stay productive and ask good questions in a fast-paced, sometimes ambiguous environment.

Compensation: This role is open to Entry level, Intermediate and Associate levels so final pay will be based on experience level

What You'll Do

Build, Forward Deployed — Work embedded with client and project teams to build and configure Foundry-based and custom software features in response to defined requirements.

Execute Well-Defined Work — Take clear direction from the Senior AI Solutions Architect or a Mid–Senior FDE and turn it into working code, Ontology objects, pipelines, or integrations — asking good questions when something's unclear rather than guessing.

Support Multiple Projects — Carry a workload across more than one project, learning to prioritize and context-switch between codebases and problem domains without dropping quality.

Ask for Direction — Recognize when you're facing ambiguity or unfamiliar territory and proactively seek guidance rather than stalling or guessing.

Follow Portfolio Standards — Build to the patterns and standards set by more senior FDEs and the architect, so your work fits cleanly into the broader DPS portfolio.

Debug & Support — Troubleshoot issues in features you've built, respond to feedback, and support existing applications alongside new work.

Build Range — Grow your skills across both Palantir Foundry and custom development, with support from senior team members as you branch into less familiar areas.

Collaborate Cross-Functionally — Work alongside project managers, other developers, and subject matter experts as an active contributor, present in client sessions and supporting the technical conversation.
