Forward Deployed Software Engineer, New Grad - Intel, US Government

The Role

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 "How do we evaluate wildfire risk and optimize a power grid as a result" or "How do we quickly assess our food supply chain and modify it to deliver life‑saving assistance on time?"

As an FDSE, you’ll apply your problem‑solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organizations use their data to drive real impact in the world.

• Discuss architecture with fellow engineers.
• Wrangle massive‑scale data.
• Code custom web apps.
• Speak with customer executives.
• Establish strategy for your team.

• Ability to continuously learn, work independently, and make decisions with minimal direction.
• Ability to collaborate in teams of technical and non‑technical individuals, and comfort working in a constantly evolving environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users.
• An eagerness to creatively solve technical problems with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front‑end frameworks, and other technical tools.
• Interest in working with and using large‑scale data to solve valuable business problems.
• Willingness and interest to travel as needed to client sites. Ability to travel 25‑50% preferred, but requirements vary by team and location.

• Active Full Scope Poly level US security clearance.
• Engineering background, preferably in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, and Data Science.
