• Design and document system architectures for workflows and data connections, aligned with the Government's Builder's Guidebook
• Define data identity, de-duplication, object history, and data provenance rules
• Define acceptance criteria and "definition of done" for each required capability
• Data Science & Analytics
• Develop and implement matching algorithms and scoring methods to link new observations to existing geospatial objects
• Build and deploy analytics to highlight changes, anomalies, or inconsistencies in object data for analyst review
• Create and monitor data quality checks to flag missing metadata, weak sourcing, or invalid attribute values
• Develop algorithms for correlating multiple datasets across multi-modal data types including EO, SAR, FMV, HMI, and vector data

• 2+ years of hands-on experience developing on Palantir Foundry or other Palantir platforms (e.g., Gaia, AIP)
• Demonstrated experience with TypeScript and/or Python for application and pipeline development
• Experience with geospatial data types including EO, SAR, FMV, HMI, vector, and raster datasets
• Experience supporting agile software development in an intelligence, DoD, or national security context
• Experience with Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) workflows strongly preferred

Technical Skills

• Proficiency with Palantir Foundry tools including Workshop, Slate, Contour, and the Ontology SDK
• Experience with Palantir "Foundry Builder" development activities using Developer Access Licenses (DALs)
• Familiarity with geospatial APIs and standards: ESRI REST services, OpenStreetMap, OGC WMS/WFS
• Knowledge of database systems and configurations including AWS cloud infrastructure and Elasticsearch
• Experience developing and deploying data pipelines for large-scale data ingestion, transformation, and normalization
• Understanding of role-based access controls (RBAC), data governance, and security models within enterprise platforms
• Experience with RMF/A&A processes including ATT and ATO documentation

Clearance & Compliance Requirements

• Must possess and maintain an active TS/SCI clearance throughout the period of performance
• Must self-report security issues, foreign contacts, and other applicable matters per SEAD 3
