Position Summary:   

The Forward Deployed Engineer builds and ships the AI, automation, and Palantir Foundry systems that power our internal operations and initiatives. This is a hands-on, builder-focused role: designing data pipelines and ontology, developing AI/ML and LLM-based applications, and working directly and iteratively with business teams as an embedded Forward Deployed Engineer to turn prototypes into production workflows. The role also manages the technical risk and measurable outcomes of what it builds.

Hands-on, production experience building and deploying workflows, pipelines, and ontology objects on Palantir Foundry or a comparable enterprise data platform (Databricks, Snowflake).

Practical experience building AI/ML and LLM-based applications — RAG pipelines, agentic/tool-calling workflows, and model evaluation.

Strong software engineering fundamentals: clean pipeline/API design, version control, testing, and production deployment practices.

Comfortable working directly and iteratively with business users to translate ambiguous requirements into working systems (forward-deployed / embedded engineering style).

Working understanding of data security, access control, and governance patterns for enterprise data platforms.

Clear technical communication — able to explain architecture, trade-offs, and status to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Stay current on AI/ML tooling, model capabilities, and Foundry platform updates, and evaluate them for practical fit.
