McLean
McLean, VA

McLean, VA is home to our second largest office, located just 10 miles from Washington, DC. The office reflects our start-up values and innovative approach to business. We know how to dress for the customer site, but in our own space we're laid back – more likely to be caught in jeans than slacks.
Our office is no SCIF: from the pool table in the reception area to the wraparound windows with a view of the Washington Monument, our workspace is stylish, unique, and relaxed. Whether you're getting a haircut in our miniature barbershop, lounging around with coworkers on the couch, or just blowing off steam with a game of Mario Kart, our McLean office is tailor-made to feel like home.

Mission Operations

As part of Palantir's Mission Operations, we leave our egos at the door to provide lightning-fast, organized and effective support where the business needs it most. Our team consists of both technical and non-technical individuals sharing a common commitment to hard work, attention to detail, and impeccable customer service while providing behind-the-scenes execution at the highest level.
Don't ask about the average day, because we cover too much ground for that kind of explanation. We can get a complex hardware stack from concept to on the ground - anywhere in the world in less time than most spend figuring out how customs works. We can act as end-to-end travel agents for hundreds of people, while also making sure they have the gear they need for that important client meeting or tradeshow. We build internal tools, plan large company events, and design processes to reduce inefficiency wherever we see it.
Some say we’re Palantir's logistical special forces unit. We say we're just doing our jobs.
