Original 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   The Connectivity team builds products that connect our most critical institutions to their most critical data. Our products securely integrate databases, enterprise applications, cloud storage, web services, and streaming systems, enabling customers to bring data into Foundry and write back to their operational systems. We build applications, frameworks, and infrastructure for connectivity across Foundry: high scale data processing pipelines, user-written code, AI agents, or connecting directly from the Ontology.
You’ll work across the stack, owning and building out features across our UI, backend services, and compute platforms. You’ll iterate closely with experienced engineers, FDEs, and other teams to scope and build out new Connectivity products and integrations, as well as building toolkits to support those integrations: APIs, SDKs, authentication flows, security frameworks, and changes to core products across the platform. The work is highly technical, collaborative, dynamic, and follows customer signal closely.
This role is expected to be about 75% backend and 25% frontend.  
Core Responsibilities   We're hiring high agency engineers who are passionate about solving real-world problems. If you’re motivated to enable outcomes with connectivity, here are some examples of the types of work you’d get to do:
    • Build SDKs and integrations that allow customers and internal product teams to write code to connect to external systems
    • Launch features to enable entirely new paradigms of data connection
    • Dive deep into Foundry security and the bleeding edge of securing connected AI agents and pipelines in sensitive environments
    • Identify, diagnose, and remediate performance and correctness issues for high scale connectivity workflows
    • Work with infrastructure teams to expose powerful networking functionality to users
    • Craft elegant workflows to enable customers to maximally leverage their data systems
    • Scale nascent connectivity products from first use to billions
    • Learn and build across a large suite of repos, services, and domains

Technologies We Use
    • Java and Python
    • Open-source technologies like Cassandra, Kubernetes, Envoy, GraphQL, and React
    • Protocols such as TCP, UDP, TLS, HTTP
    • Gradle for builds and GitHub for collaboration
    • Shared job orchestration, streaming, serverless execution, and compute deployment platforms

    You do not need prior experience with these technologies. We expect you to learn them here.
