Senior Palantir Engineer

The Role

Fusion is a global electronics distributor building a modern data platform on top of a 20 year old legacy system. Palantir Foundry is a core part of that stack. We use it to deliver unified views of our customers, products, and operations, and we are leaning hard into AIP and agent driven workflows to compress delivery cycles. We are looking for a senior engineer who can work hands on in Foundry: building pipelines, ontology models, agents, and applications alongside our external Palantir consultants today, and progressively taking ownership as the platform matures.

This is an execution focused role with real autonomy. You will design and build solutions, work directly with business stakeholders, and have a voice in how the platform evolves.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain data pipelines: Design, build, and optimize batch and streaming pipelines in Foundry (Pipeline Builder with AI assist, Code Repositories, Code Workbook) that ingest data from internal and external source systems.
• Develop ontology models: Create and maintain ontology objects, relationships, link types, functions, and actions that represent business domains and power downstream applications, agents, and AIP workflows.
• Build AI native experiences with AIP: Use AIP Logic to compose AI driven functions, AIP Agent Studio to stand up domain agents, and AIP Threads or AIP Assist to embed conversational interfaces into Workshop apps. Use AIP Evals to validate prompt and agent behavior before promotion to production.
• Leverage AIP Analyst and FDE AI for delivery acceleration: Use AIP Analyst for ad hoc analytical work directly against the ontology, and lean on FDE AI and Solution Designer to scaffold ontology objects, pipelines, and starter applications. Refine the AI generated output, harden it for production, and bring it under proper change control.
• Deliver Foundry applications: Build and iterate on Workshop, Quiver, and Contour applications that give sales, operations, and leadership actionable views of the business, including embedded agentic actions and write back through Ontology Actions.
• Work alongside external consultants: Collaborate closely with our Palantir implementation partners to understand existing designs, validate data flows, and progressively take on more of the day to day Foundry work.
• Connect Foundry to the broader data platform: As the data modernization team builds out medallion layer domain stores and DBT based pipelines on Azure, help align Foundry’s ontology and ingestion paths so the platform can transition from legacy sources to the new architecture cleanly.
• Integrate with external systems: Build and maintain OSDK based integrations and APIs that connect Foundry to internal services and third party platforms.
• Engage stakeholders directly: Gather requirements from business teams, demo solutions, train end users, and incorporate feedback into iterations.
• Ensure data quality and observability: Implement validation, lineage tracking, health checks, and monitoring within Foundry pipelines. Build automated data quality checks, including AIP assisted ones, to keep data accurate and reliable.
• Apply AI tooling to your own workflow: Use AIP and AI assisted development practices to accelerate pipeline work, code review, and documentation.

What You Bring

• Data Engineering Foundations
• Palantir Foundry and AIP

• Experience building or operating real time pricing, recommendation, or scoring engines.
• Familiarity with electronics distribution, supply chain, or ERP data, particularly Dynamics GP and Great Plains.
• Background in domain driven design or microservices architecture.
• TypeScript or C# for OSDK consumers and downstream services.
• Exposure to CRM, payment, or logistics API integrations.
