About the role
The generational companies of the next century will run on mission-specific AI software that compounds their competitive advantage, not commoditized SaaS. We purpose-build production AI applications that enable our customers to operate at the speed, scale, and margins of an enterprise software company, in any industry. We're building something fundamentally different: software that's as adaptable as the businesses it serves, created by engineers who understand both code and customer.
What We're Looking For
- An obsession with helping your customer win, even when it goes beyond the original “scope”.
- Strong analytical abilities and problem-solving aptitude.
- You love breaking down complex problems and building end-to-end solutions that actually work.
- Proficiency in Python and/or Typescript. We build in these languages everyday.
- Ability to work independently and own outcomes autonomously. You'll always have support, but we're looking for teammates who want to be in the driver's seat and fully own their work.
- Demonstrated ability to build applications that use large structured and unstructured datasets in a production environment. We take a customer's data and make it valuable to them - this is our bread and butter.
- A track record of delivering real-world outcomes with code. As a software engineer, data scientist, or deeply technical analytics lead, you've helped an organization up its game through the software you've written and/or the analytical products you've built.
- Strong ability to collaborate with internal and external teammates with varying levels of technical proficiency. We embed with our customers and join their teams, you'll need both technical and people skills to succeed.
- Willingness to travel as-needed for client implementation work. Every project is different, but typically projects involve travel 10-33% of the time.
- Enthusiasm for working hybrid-in-person at our London or New York hub offices and onsite with our customers.
Preferred But Not Required To Be Successful
- A bachelor's or masters degree in Computer Science
- Experience with Palantir Foundry and/or AIP
- Experience delivering production ML and/or LLM-based solutions
- Experience delivering production frontend applications in React
- Experience with Spark and distributed compute
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary + equity in the form of stock options
- Comprehensive benefits package including health insurance (inclusive of dental and vision) and 401k matching
- Flexible hybrid work environment
- The opportunity to build solutions, systems, and software from the ground up as we scale
- A small, tight-knit team where your contributions directly impacts our ability to execute on our mission
- The opportunity to build solutions, systems, and software from the ground up as we scale
- Adequate support for occasional travel (less than 10% of your time) for company offsites where you'll connect with teams across our New York and London hubs
