What You'll Do

• End-to-End Delivery: Contribute to team ownership of client problems, supporting with deep data engineering knowing that may require low/no code Palantir Foundry tooling, or Python and PySpark code repos - to executing user-facing front-end applications and widgets in TypeScript or REACT.

What We Are Looking For

• Problem Solvers: We value individuals who can navigate nuanced client environments. We care more about your ability to contribute to breaking down complex use cases and execute across architectural solutions than rote memorising of coding syntax.
• Coding proficiency in one or more of the following (Python/SQL/TypeScript /REACT) and the capability to pick up others quickly. You should understand data engineering principles, ETL pipelines and application development.
• Familiarity with Palantir (Foundry, Gotham, or similar) is desired but not mandatory provided you have a strong willingness to learn.
