Overview

Product Designer, New Grad – Developer Experience role at Palantir Technologies. Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations, empowering partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

A World-Changing Company. The Palantir Design Team is responsible for the human experience of using our software. Our team is growing rapidly, but we are committed to a tight-knit environment that fosters trust, integrity, empathy, and growth. We work together to realise a shared product vision and regularly give feedback and critique to each other.

Designing at Palantir is a varied experience. You might lead a design sprint, design micro-interactions for complex tasks, and/or advocate for UX consistency by creating flexible, reusable UI components. You should consider API documentation, SDK functionality, and developer onboarding, and speak the language of developers.

Responsibilities

• You’ll work on product teams with minimal supervision and own end-to-end execution of real product features. You will collaborate with Designers, Product Managers, Developers, and Forward Deployed Engineers to refine and evolve Palantir products.
• Interaction and visual design: define early concepts, flesh out workflows and micro-interactions, and execute a crisp visual design. Experience with prototyping using tools such as Figma is preferred.
• User research: engage in informal and flexible research, including visiting customer offices to interview users. Combine qualitative methods with product and usage metrics.
• Deliver and communicate designs in close collaboration with product and forward deployed engineers, treating engineers and product managers as partners.
• Awareness of frontend storytelling: familiarity with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and TypeScript to collaborate with engineers and understand what is possible with frontend tech.

What We Value

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with engineers, PMs, and other stakeholders; ability to defend and discuss design rationale.
• High empathy and dedication to the user, striving to empower them.
• Strong ability to iterate through the design process, give and receive critiques, and rapidly incorporate feedback.
• Willingness to learn, decision-making independence, and the ability to ask questions when needed.

What We Require
