Build ontology-driven Workshop applications, dashboards, workflows, and actions used by field operations, customer operations, and leadership

Build and maintain data pipelines that integrate SAP, OMS, GIS, weather, customer, and operational systems

Contribute to ontology design: object types, link types, properties, and business logic across operational use cases

Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis on your shift during critical operational events

Translate stakeholder requirements into scalable Foundry solutions

Support release management, deployment promotion, testing coordination, and environment governance

Maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and architecture diagrams

Mentor junior engineers on Workshop development and Foundry best practices

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related field, plus 3–5 years of software engineering or systems integration experience

In lieu of a degree: at least 7 years of relevant experience

Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry Ontology Manager, Workshop, Actions, and Pipeline Builder

Experience supporting production platforms or on-call rotations

Willingness to work 12-hour rotating shifts onsite in Rosemead, CA, including nights, weekends, and holidays
