Job Description

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Architecture

  • Design, build, and deploy end-to-end data integration pipelines using Palantir Foundry, including complex transforms, incremental pipelines, and multi-source data connectors
  • Architect and maintain the Ontology layer  — defining object types, link types, action types, and interfaces that model customer domains with precision and scalability
  • Develop and optimize Python, SQL, and Java transforms across distributed (PySpark) and lightweight (Pandas, Polars, DuckDB) compute engines
  • Build and deploy TypeScript/Python Functions for server-side business logic, function-backed actions, and function-backed columns
  • Create and configure Workshop applications, OSDK-based custom applications, and custom widgets to deliver operational front-ends
  • Lead data governance implementation — markings, permissions, restricted views, property security groups, and role-based access controls
  • Design and deploy AIP-powered workflows, including AIP Logic, AIP Agents, evaluation suites, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines

Deployment Strategy & Customer Engagement

  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for senior customer stakeholders, translating business problems into platform solutions
  • Own deployment roadmaps end-to-end: scoping, architecture design, implementation, testing, and operationalization
  • Drive adoption by delivering high-quality, production-grade solutions that users trust and rely on daily
  • Navigate complex organizational dynamics, building relationships with executives, analysts, data engineers, and end users
  • Identify expansion opportunities by deeply understanding the customer''s operational landscape and surfacing new use cases for the platform
Skills:

Team Leadership & Mentorship

  • Lead and mentor a team of Forward Deployed Engineers, providing technical guidance, code reviews, and architecture direction
  • Establish engineering best practices across the deployment: branching strategies (global and local), incremental pipeline design, testing, and CI/CD
  • Conduct knowledge-sharing sessions and internal trainings on Foundry capabilities, new platform features, and deployment patterns
  • Contribute to DaVita''s internal engineering culture through tooling improvements, documentation, and cross-team collaboration

Platform Mastery & Innovation

  • Stay at the forefront of Foundry platform evolution — including Pipeline Builder, Code Workspaces, Model Studio, OSDK, Cipher, and streaming capabilities
  • Build and deploy machine learning models using Model Studio (no-code) and pro-code repositories for classification, regression, time series forecasting, and custom predictive modeling
  • Leverage the full data lifecycle: Data Connection → Sync → Datasets → Transforms → Ontology → Applications → Actions → Writeback
  • Partner with Palantir product teams and DaVita''s internal Palantir development team to provide field feedback and shape the future direction of the platform

 

Education:

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, data engineering, or technical consulting — with at least 2+ years on Palantir Foundry
  • Strong proficiency in Python (PySpark, Pandas, Polars) and SQL; experience with TypeScript is highly valued
  • Deep understanding of the Foundry Ontology — object types, link types, action types, interfaces, and functions
  • Proven track record of designing and deploying production-grade data pipelines (batch and streaming) at enterprise scale
  • Experience building Workshop applications and/or OSDK-based applications (React/TypeScript)
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform) — Compute Engine, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, and IAM
  • Experience with Google BigQuery — query optimization, partitioning/clustering strategies, BigQuery ML, data warehousing patterns, and migration from legacy EDW platforms (e.g., Netezza, Teradata)
  • Experience with AIP (AI Platform) — AIP Logic, AIP Agents, evaluation suites, and LLM-powered functions
  • Familiarity with machine learning workflows in Foundry: Model Studio, pro-code model authoring, batch/live inference
  • Experience implementing data governance frameworks — markings, ABAC, restricted views, Cipher for data protection, and HIPAA-compliant data handling
  • Background in healthcare, kidney care, or clinical operations, revenue cycle optimizations a plus.
  • Experience leading teams of 3+ engineers in forward-deployed settings
  • Contributions to internal tooling, open-source projects, or platform evangelism
