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
Mission Manager is Palantir’s single pane of glass for enabling US Government customers and vendors to run software securely and compliantly in the most sensitive environments, but without the overhead —whether connected, disconnected, cloud, or edge. Built on the strength of Palantir’s Apollo platform, it provides the critical infrastructure needed to rapidly onboard and deploy applications into a secure Kubernetes-based ecosystem, freeing our customers to focus on building and powering mission-critical systems.
The Mission Manager offering is still in its earliest days, and by joining us now, you’ll define the strategy for how we develop and scale it—witnessing firsthand the impact of your work on critical missions and the new capabilities you unlock. You’ll drive this by building elegant, robust user interfaces and APIs that bridge the gap between a raw Kubernetes cluster and a fully featured, infrastructure-agnostic runtime that can meet the operational demands of hundreds of specialized microservices.
As a full-stack engineer, you’ll operate at the intersection of product, design, and engineering to deliver industry-leading UI/UX for our next-generation infrastructure management platform. You’ll undertake this challenge alongside an energized team with a wide array of backgrounds and skillsets, all united by an ambitious vision for what’s possible.

Take ownership of the end-to-end user experience across the stack, including debugging core backend systems and driving API improvements with a focus on both quality and performance
Work closely with your team and stakeholders to enable sustainable and timely delivery of technical solutions to address business needs
Spend ~70% of your time on Frontend work, and ~30% of your time on Backend work (depending on your project & skillset)
What We Value
Product-centric individuals who have a high sense of ownership and ability to own projects end-to-end
Belief in the importance of UI/UX in productionizing infrastructure management systems
Clear and concise verbal and written communications
A focus on impact and an ability to articulate the value your work provides

What We Require
2+ years of professional software development experience
1+ years of experience in product design, UX optimization, feature scoping, and system architecture (design patterns, reusability, reliability and scaling) of new and existing applications/systems
Proficiency with web technology languages such as React, JavaScript, TypeScript, or equivalent, and backend languages or frameworks such as Java, Golang, or equivalent
