The Opportunity: 

As an experienced engineer, you know that machine learning is critical to understanding and processing massive datasets. Your ability to conduct statistical analyses on business processes using ML techniques makes you an integral part of delivering a customer-focused solution. We need your technical knowledge and desire to problem-solve to support mission-critical projects for our DoD clients. As a senior machine learning engineer on our core Palantir team, you’ll train, test, deploy, and maintain models that learn from data.   

In this role, you’ll lead the direction of mission-critical solutions by applying best-fit ML algorithms and introducing leading-edge technologies. You’ll share your knowledge with a large community of machine learning engineers across the company and collaborate with key stakeholders, data engineers, developers and data consumers that deliver world class solutions to develop scalable data pipelines, build robust applications, and integrate various data sources to drive impactful decision-making. Your skills and extensive technical expertise will guide clients as they navigate the landscape of ML algorithms, tools, and frameworks.

As an AI and ML Engineer on our National Security team, you’ll work closely with your clients to understand their questions and needs and then dig into their data-rich environments to find the pieces of their information puzzle. Not only will you provide a deep understanding of their data, you’ll also advise your client on what the information means and how it can be used to make an impact on the tasking of national, commercial, and emerging assets.
