  • Own Foundry features and workstreams end to end: design, build, test, and deployment
  • Build ontology-driven Workshop applications, dashboards, workflows, and actions used by field operations, customer operations, and leadership
  • Build and maintain data pipelines that integrate SAP, OMS, GIS, weather, customer, and operational systems
  • Contribute to ontology design: object types, link types, properties, and business logic across operational use cases
  • Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis on your shift during critical operational events
  • Translate stakeholder requirements into scalable Foundry solutions
  • Support release management, deployment promotion, testing coordination, and environment governance
  • Maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and architecture diagrams
  • Mentor junior engineers on Workshop development and Foundry best practices
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related field, plus 3–5 years of software engineering or systems integration experience
  • In lieu of a degree: at least 7 years of relevant experience
  • Hands-on experience with Palantir Foundry Ontology Manager, Workshop, Actions, and Pipeline Builder
  • Experience with Python, TypeScript, or Java in Foundry development workflows
  • Experience integrating ERP, GIS, operational, or enterprise systems
  • Experience supporting production platforms or on-call rotations
  • Willingness to work 12-hour rotating shifts onsite in Rosemead, CA, including nights, weekends, and holidays
Preferred Qualifications
  • Palantir Foundry certification
  • Familiarity with utility operations, wildfire mitigation, public safety, outage management, asset management, or regulatory reporting
  • Experience supporting energy, infrastructure, emergency management, or other operational environments
