Full Stack Software Engineer

Title: Full Stack Software Engineer - Apollo Platform

Location: New York, NY

Type: Full-time

Workplace: hybrid

Category: Dev

Job Description:

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

Apollo is Palantir's product that enables autonomous management and continuous deployment of mission critical software, wherever it is. We're transforming the way organizations around the world deploy software: from on-premise, to various cloud providers, to disconnected environments (air-gapped), to strict accreditation frameworks, and to the edge.

As a Full Stack Engineer on the Apollo platform, you will be at the forefront of developing both client-facing and server-side features that enhance the experience of thousands of users. You will engineer seamless interfaces and robust backend services that simplify complex deployment and monitoring tasks. Your role will encompass conducting user interviews to understand their intricate workflows, collaborating on mockups with Product Designers, and building APIs and services that enable frontend functionality. You might find yourself automating workflows, writing and integrating frontend code with backend services, or developing scalable backend systems that power our platforms.

We're hiring engineers who act like owners and are passionate about the whole development lifecycle - not just fixing bugs or maintaining legacy code - from idea generation, user interviews, planning, design, prototyping, execution, shipping, and iteration.
