Palo Alto, CA (HQ)

Palantir is causing a paradigm shift in analysis, a fundamental change in the way that people approach and utilize data and we’re doing it in the heart of Silicon Valley. In addition to being right across the street from the Palo Alto Caltrain Station, we are situated in the midst of its thriving downtown area, a stone’s throw east of Stanford and a short jaunt south of San Francisco. The city itself is bustling with activity, warm year-round, bicycle-friendly, and a short drive away from both the mountains and the ocean.

Engineering

Being a member of Palantir's Engineering department is an experience unlike any other. Our home is a true startup: the intersection between efficiency and ingenuity where every voice is heard, every idea is considered, and every member makes a tangible impact.
In an industry rife with sideways momentum and common products, we are in the rare position of crafting software that is truly unique, industry-defining and in some wonderful cases even life-saving. The engineers who build it, by necessity, must have passion, drive and enough creativity to shape the future of analysis.
