Here’s a summary of the role: Build cloud software that matters, grow your technical depth, and use modern AI tooling to do your best work. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys solving product problems, writing clean code, and helping services run reliably at scale. You’ll work on secure, scalable microservices and APIs using TypeScript, AWS , and modern engineering practices. You’ll be part of a collaborative product engineering team where you can own features, contribute to design discussions, support production systems, and keep growing across backend, cloud, and AI-assisted development workflows. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do, not all of it, just the important stuff: Design, build, test, and improve backend services and APIs using Node.js, TypeScript, and AWS . Take ownership of well-defined features from planning through release, including code quality, deployment, and production support . Work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to turn requirements into practical, reliable solutions. Contribute to technical design conversations, code reviews, and engineering standards that keep the team moving well. Use AI tools to speed up research, coding, debugging, testing, and documentation, while checking outputs carefully and applying sound judgment. Help keep systems secure, observable, and maintainable by improving monitoring, reliability, and day-to-day development practices. These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview: 3 to 5 years of professional software engineering experience building production applications in an agile environment. Strong backend development skills with Node.js and TypeScript, including experience building APIs or microservices. Experience with React or Angular in a product engineering environment.

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 Backend Software Engineers at Palantir build software at scale to transform how organisations use data. Our Software Engineers are involved throughout the product lifecycle, from idea generation, design, prototyping, and production delivery. You will collaborate closely with technical and non-technical teammates to understand our customers' problems and build products that solve them. We encourage movement across teams to share context, skills, and experience, so you'll learn about many different technologies and aspects of each product. Engineers work autonomously and make decisions independently, within a community that will support and challenge you as you grow and develop, becoming a strong technical contributor and engineering leader. Your day-to-day workflow will vary, adapting to the requirements of our users and the technical challenges that arise. One day, you may find yourself collaborating with other engineers to architect a new system that enables a novel workflow, the next you could be fine-tuning performance to enable low-latency operational outcomes. Our Product Development organisation is made up of small teams of Software Engineers. Each team focuses on a specific aspect of a product and work collaboratively to build cross functional capabilities, streamline user workflows and continuously improve our software's efficiency and reliability. We’re hiring engineers who are passionate about solving real-world problems and empowering both developers and end-users to work optimally. If you’re motivated to develop reliable, performant, and scalable systems, and to design robust APIs and primitives, this role offers the opportunity to make a

The Role Palantir Foundry is an end-to-end platform for data-driven decision-making. We're transforming the way organisations securely integrate their data, so they can then build reliable, critical applications atop that unified foundation. Our customers use Foundry to perform rich analyses that drive core operations within their organisations. They can also build sophisticated, full-fledged programs, such as common operating pictures, alert-triaging inboxes, and resource allocation planning tools driven by rich-ML models. As a Full Stack Engineer focused on application development in Foundry, you will be responsible for crafting the tools used by thousands of users to build the sophisticated applications that power their businesses. You will be architecting and developing interfaces, state management and access patterns to support data-intensive workflows that are both powerful and approachable. You may spend one day interviewing users to better understand their needs and identifying product gaps to improve. The next day, you might find yourself considering that customer context along with signal gathered from other customers in different industries, brainstorming approaches to handling intricate UX needs with your teammates. You’ll regularly be faced with sophisticated technical problems, requiring you to scope out the solution design and finding an incremental path to shipping the new features. As part of this, you will own APIs and schemas that power your frontend code, or work with other backend engineers in developing them together.
