Rationale: This is a clear GenOps role within Palantir's Foundations organization, owning shared infrastructure that underpins production platforms (Foundry, Gotham, Apollo). The role has explicit control plane responsibility (developer infrastructure, backend infrastructure systems), governance scope (audit logs, feature flags), and reliability ownership (scalability and reliability improvements) for production systems serving customers in regulated contexts (classified/secure environments, healthcare).
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
Software Engineers at Palantir drive large-scale transformation through data, AI and world-leading infrastructure that supports mission-critical workloads. As an engineer within Palantir's Infrastructure teams, you'll have the opportunity to grow more quickly than you ever imagined as you contribute high-quality code directly to:
- The shared infrastructure underpinning Palantir Foundry, Palantir Gotham and Palantir Apollo — platforms deployed at the most important institutions across the public and private sectors
- Rubix and Mission Manager, our new internal-infrastructure business line, used by advanced civil and defence agencies worldwide to power their infrastructure in highly sensitive environments
- The substrate on which Palantir deploys Foundry and Gotham, powering workflows for research scientists, aerospace engineers, intelligence analysts and economic forecasters
This means driving investments that improve the velocity and quality of our engineering. Infrastructure at Palantir spans our Foundations, Production Infrastructure and Foundry teams.
Teams within Palantir's Foundations organisation are made up of a small number of engineers, each focused on one of four major categories of our infrastructure:

- Developer Infrastructure

- Storage Infrastructure
Production Infrastructure organisation, made up of small teams of engineers working on:
- Environment Platform: a Kubernetes-based PaaS spanning hundreds of production clusters
- Apollo: secure, fleet-wide deployment and change-management for complex microservice suites
- Signals: our full suite of observability and alerting tools
Foundry itself is also a developer platform, and many of our users are developers. You'll be building tools used by people who build. As a result, applicants may also be considered for other infrastructure roles within the Foundry product team.
