Palantir FDE :: Cleveland, OH

Palantir FDE

Location: Cleveland, Ohio – Hybrid
Client: Sherwin-Williams
Experience: 12–15+ years

About the Role
Our client is currently on Palantir Foundry. We're proposing to migrate them off Palantir and rebuild equivalent capabilities on Databricks. We need a senior, hands-on engineer who knows Foundry deeply enough to reverse-engineer what's been built and rebuild it on Databricks. This is a client-facing, high-visibility role, not a back-office dev position.

Must Have
•⁠  ⁠Worked at Palantir as an FDE/FDSE/Deployment Strategist, or worked on the client side building on Foundry for a meaningful period (not just exposure).
•⁠  ⁠Hands-on with Foundry Ontology (object types, links, actions, functions), Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, and Workshop apps.
•⁠  ⁠Strong Databricks experience: PySpark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, workflows/pipelines.
•⁠  ⁠Strong Python and SQL.
•⁠  ⁠Has designed data models and translated business workflows into working applications.
•⁠  ⁠Comfortable in front of client stakeholders: can run working sessions, explain trade-offs, and push back when needed.
•⁠  ⁠12–15+ years total experience.

Nice to Have
•⁠  ⁠Prior Foundry-to-other-platform migration experience.
•⁠  ⁠AIP / Databricks Mosaic AI, agents, or GenAI use cases in production.
•⁠  ⁠Knowledge graph or semantic layer experience.
•⁠  ⁠App-layer build experience (Databricks Apps, React, Streamlit).
•⁠  ⁠Manufacturing, retail, or product data domain background.
