Role Summary & Mission

The Platform Engineer
- Palantir is the technical owner of Acrisure’s Palantir environment — the person ultimately accountable for the substrate that every Palantir use case is built on. Where FD Partner, FD Delta, and FD Echo are forward-facing roles deploying value to business units, this role is the internal-facing counterpart: the operator, architect, and component curator who defines what the entire Program can build on, how it builds, and how efficiently it builds.

This role is intentionally designed as both senior and hands-on. The Platform Engineer sets the strategy for ingress and egress, marking and permissions architecture, environment topology, compute and storage cost optimization, release governance, and the reusable component catalog — and then implements that strategy hands-on inside the platform. The person in this seat must be the most technically credible voice in the room on Palantir platform mechanics, while also presenting cost-to-value, capacity, and reusability tradeoffs to the CTO and executive sponsors.

Credibility in this role is earned through doing, not delegating.

This is a primarily internal-facing role. Travel is minimal — typically less than 10% (1-2 nights/month) on average, primarily for Palantir partner engagement, working sessions, and occasional business unit deployments.

Key Responsibilities

• Actively configure and operate Palantir tenant settings across the platform stack — Projects, Groups, Markings, Roles, Resource Queues, Compute, and product-level controls — making changes directly in the platform rather than routing them to engineers.
• Design and implement the ingress strategy: source system connections, connectors, schema management, and standards for incremental, batch, and streaming data flows.
• Design and implement the egress strategy:
  Marketplace exports, OSDK and external API exposure, file/data export controls, and downstream consumption boundaries.
• Own the permissions architecture across the platform — marking taxonomy, group hierarchy, role assignments, and least-privilege standards — and personally maintain the most sensitive configurations.
• Personally triage and resolve platform admin issues — permissions, provisioning, ingress/egress configuration, and resource queue contention — rather than routing them to Platform Engineers or Palantir support.
• Be a go-to resource for external teams leveraging the Palantir Platform and escalating questions and issues for resolution.

Componentization & Reusability

• Drive the platform-wide reusable component catalog — pipeline templates, Ontology patterns, Workshop building blocks, OSDK modules, Marketplace products, reusable agents, and shared utilities — covering both platform-management and business-facing use cases.
• Establish standards for what gets componentized, how components are versioned and documented, and how they are discovered and consumed by FD Delta, FD Echo, and the broader Platform.
• Partner with FD Delta and FD Echo to extract reusable patterns from delivered use cases, promote them into the catalog, and consolidate duplication across the portfolio.
• Maintain a library of platform-management components — provisioning workflows, permissions templates, audit reports, cost dashboards — that the Platform Engineering team uses to operate the environment efficiently.
