About this role

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

If you joined us today, you get to author the strategy by which each of Palantir’s software platforms - Foundry, Gotham, Apollo - achieves full containerization across an intimidating diversity of infrastructure types. Tomorrow, you get to do the same for Palantir’s ever expanding customer community. You will drive those goals by building elegant, robust APIs powered by K8s controllers which bridge the gap between a raw Kubernetes cluster and a fully-featured, infrastructure agnostic runtime that can scale to the operational needs of 100s of specialized microservices. Joining you on that journey is a highly motivated team with a diverse group of backgrounds and skillsets, brimming with ambition.
