Top Engineering Jobs in New York City, NY

Work on query engines and data-processing infrastructure powering Palantir Foundry. Responsibilities include optimizing query plans, developing execution-engine capabilities, improving large-table performance, and contributing through design, coding, testing, code review, and release. The role involves working with technologies such as Spark, DataFusion, Iceberg, Arrow, and Parquet while learning how modern distributed data systems operate.

Build and improve data processing infrastructure and query engines supporting Palantir Foundry. Develop query planning rules, native execution capabilities, and large-table performance improvements using technologies such as Apache Spark, DataFusion, Iceberg, Arrow, and Parquet. Contribute across design, coding, testing, code review, and release while emphasizing correctness, compatibility, and predictable performance.

The Meritocracy Fellowship is a five-week educational and engineering program for exceptional high school graduates. Fellows study foundational ideas, build software, and then join Palantir development or forward-deployed engineering teams as full-time-equivalent software engineers. They work with real data and customers, ship products, and solve ambiguous problems across engineering, product, security, deployment, and operations.

Responsibilities include query planning and optimization, execution engine development, Iceberg integrations, incremental processing, performance tuning, debugging, testing, benchmarking, and collaboration with product teams and customers. The role requires production software engineering experience and expertise in database engines, distributed systems, storage, concurrency, and performance optimization.

Build and maintain production infrastructure platforms (Rubix, Apollo, environment PaaS, observability) across fleets and clusters. Own full product lifecycle, collaborate with cross-functional teams, deploy secure solutions for civil and defense customers, and participate in field exercises to validate deployments.

Work on-site with customers to deliver end-to-end production software solutions using large-scale data and Gen AI. Own projects from architecture to deployment, build custom applications and LLM workflows, handle data engineering and cloud infrastructure, and maintain stakeholder relationships. Expect significant travel and autonomy.

Internship building shared infrastructure for Palantir platforms (backend, developer, frontend, or storage). Work across the product lifecycle to improve developer productivity, scalability, and reliability, collaborate with technical and non-technical partners, and be paired with a mentor.

Contribute production-quality code to Palantir products (Gotham, Foundry, Apollo) across the full lifecycle. Work on backend or frontend components, collaborate with cross-functional teams, learn from a mentor, and engage with users to build data-driven features.

Contribute code across production infrastructure platforms (Rubix, Apollo, environment PaaS, observability) while owning feature lifecycle, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and learning from a dedicated mentor. May support deployments in sensitive civil and defense contexts.

Build and ship features for Palantir Gotham across the full product lifecycle. Collaborate with engineers, product, and customers; prototype, design, implement, and maintain backend and frontend systems. Learn on the job with mentorship and occasional customer site visits to understand real-world mission needs.
