By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.The RoleThe Palantir Design Team is responsible for the human experience of using our software. On a given day, you might be: leading a design sprint for your product team; and/or advocating for UX consistency by creating flexible, reusable UI components.You consider things like API documentation, SDK functionality, and developer onboarding and can speak the language of a developer. Core Responsibilities• Interaction and visual design. As a product designer, you'll be involved at every stage of design work. You'll help define early product concepts, flesh out the high-level workflow and micro-interactions of a feature, and execute on a crisp and effective visual design. We frequently do informal user research, and value people who can be flexible with research processes and methodologies to achieve the right outcome.• We work closely with product and forward deployed engineers to realize our design ideas. Awareness of how software interfaces are built. Familiarity with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Typescript is appreciated. You don't need to be an expert—just fluent enough to collaborate with engineers, and know what's possible with frontend technologies. You might be the kind of designer who ships code every week, or the kind of designer who shares detailed user research findings with your team.What We ValueAn iterative design process. You can build great relationships with engineers, PMs, and other stakeholders—and convey your design rationale to them. To reach these audiences, you'll communicate your designs through a variety of methods: presenting your mockups, making prototypes, sharing a design spec.Your design decisions are often informed by—and will influence—engineering and business considerations.You'll design software that changes how people use data in government, commercial, and philanthropic contexts. You strive to understand our users—who can range from a manufacturing plant worker to a pharmaceutical researcher—and fight to empower them.What We Require A portfolio demonstrating at least one software interface design project.
