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.

As a Technical Program Manager, Security, you are the engine behind Palantir's security engineering teams. Palantir's software is trusted by some of the most critical institutions in the world, and protecting that trust requires a security organization that moves fast, stays ahead of threats, and never loses sight of quality.

You partner with security engineers to drive our security programs forward, ensuring we are building and shipping secure, resilient products every day. You track and stabilize projects, remove roadblocks, and anticipate stakeholder needs to free up our engineers to focus their time and attention on the security problems they are best equipped to solve.

• Demonstrated success managing complex security or software development programs for an enterprise software company, startup or otherwise.
• An ability to engage in technical discussion and invest in learning security concepts, including threat detection, vulnerability management, incident response, and cloud infrastructure security.
• Excellent judgment and composure in high-pressure situations, including during active security incidents.
• A creative approach to program management centered around lightweight frameworks that enable rapid iteration, while operating in harmony with a larger security and engineering organization.
• An ability to develop strong relationships with both technical security teams and customer-facing stakeholders, with a high level of empathy for our end-users' needs.
• Meticulous attention to detail, including holding tightly to your team's security and product quality bar.
