About the Team The Code Quality team sits within the Developer Platform organization and owns the systems that keep DoorDash's codebase healthy and secure as it scales: static analysis, quality gates, test frameworks, regression infrastructure, and tooling. Our job is to make sure the signals engineers rely on before shipping — test results, coverage, performance feedback etc — are fast and trustworthy. The decisions we make about tooling and standards directly shape how confidently and quickly engineering teams at DoorDash can ship to production. About the Role We're looking for Software Engineers to help build and maintain the systems that validate code quality across DoorDash's engineering org, treating our tooling as a critical product for the engineers who rely on it every day: static analysis and quality gates, test frameworks and regression infrastructure. You’ll design the tooling and automation that will help derive trustworthy quality signals, integrate them into the development lifecycle, and make it easy for engineers to execute reliable, repeatable workflows. You will collaborate across the engineering org, partnering directly with the teams who use what you build to understand the accuracy, reliability and performance of their functionality. You will report into the Engineering Manager on our Code Quality team in our Developer Platform organization. You must be located in either San Francisco, CA, Sunnyvale, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Seattle, WA, or New York, NY. You're excited about this opportunity because you will… Build and maintain quality tooling — static analysis, quality gates, coverage reporting, test frameworks, regression infrastructure — and integrate it directly into our developer workflows and CI/CD pipelines Define and derive quality signals - flakiness, pass rate, coverage, performance, scale readiness etc - Build tooling that improves everyday engineering workflows, including local development, CI/CD, debugging, and rollou

A World-Changing Company Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. 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 Role As a Platform Engineer on Palantir's Identity Platform team, you will design, build, and operate secure-by-design identity infrastructure and tooling. You will make identity governance and access management easier and more secure to implement for Palantirians and customers worldwide. As part of Palantir's best-in-class Information Security organization, you will research, implement, and scale innovative solutions that help Palantir stay ahead of a dynamic threat landscape. You will help the team build the next-generation identity platform that treats agents and workload identities as first-class principals: the access graph that makes entitlements legible, the policy engine that makes authorization enforceable and auditable, and the token-issuance layer that keeps access short-lived, scoped, and least-privilege by default. Your work will shape the arc of these components from design to production. You will join the high-performing Identity Platform team, engineers who are passionate about delivering identity outcomes at scale that reduce risk and friction. The team builds and operates the identity platforms that serve both corporate and production (customer-facing) infrastructure, and the paved-road tooling and secure baselines that teams across Palantir deploy on. Your goal will be to make the secure path the easy path. Your work will directly strengthen the identity substrate beneath Palantir's most critical deployments, from a globally distributed workforce to regulated and air-gapped environments.

Head of Enterprise GTM Strategy & Operations Reports to VP, Enterprise Sales · SF or NY Reporting to the VP of Enterprise Sales, this role owns both halves of Scale AI’s enterprise revenue engine: the strategy that determines where we play and how we win, and the operating system - people, process, and systems - that makes that strategy executable, measurable, and repeatable. On the strategy side, you set the analytical foundation for enterprise growth: segment and account prioritization, coverage and territory design, pricing and packaging inputs, and the diagnostic work that explains why the funnel behaves the way it does. On the operations side, you own the RevOps stack, forecasting, compensation design, sales enablement, and the operating cadences that convert strategy into predictable quarterly execution. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable building a segmentation model from a blank page and running a Monday morning pipeline review. You will lead an established team, with the Head of Sales Enablement and the RevOps Manager as direct reports. Your first job is to raise the ceiling on what that team delivers: sharper analysis, tighter operating rhythm, and enablement that measurably shortens ramp and lifts win rates.
