At Palantir Technologies, they’re passionate about building software that solves real problems. They partner with the most important institutions in the world to transform how they use their data. Their technology has been used to stop terrorist attacks, discover new medicines, gain an edge in global financial markets, and more. If these types of projects excite you, they'd love for you to join them.
Forward Deployed Software Engineers (FDSEs) work directly with customers to quickly understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them. Our customers rely on Palantir’s platforms for some of their most critical operations, and projects often start with an open-ended question like “Why are we delaying so many flights?” or “How can we better identify instances of money laundering?” As an FDSE, you’ll apply your problem-solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organizations use their data to drive a real impact in the world. You’ll have the opportunity to gain rare insight into and contribute to some of the world’s most important industries and institutions.
As an FDSE your responsibilities look similar to those of a startup CTO: you’ll work in small teams with minimal supervision and your own end-to-end execution of high-stakes projects. Your day might span discussing architecture with fellow engineers, wrangling massive-scale data, coding a custom web app, speaking with customer executives, or establishing a strategy for your team.
Whether you're fresh out of university or a few years into your career, you'll be treated like any other Palantirian as soon as you walk through the door. You will work on small, decentralized teams that will give you the ability to have high ownership, but also receive support as you navigate your early career.
Graduate roles in Engineering may earn an average of A$71,000 to A$76,000 (Source: Prosple Salary Guide)

They also offer flexible working arrangements (including working from home) and hours.
