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 Substrate is the team responsible for Palantir's core production infrastructure — 100s of K8s clusters — from on-prem to the major cloud hyperscalers, whether they are internet-connected or air-gapped, small hardware footprint or large.
As a Senior Software Engineer on Substrate, you will design and build Palantir's managed Kubernetes product offerings across all these environments.
You and your team will be responsible for bootstrapping and operating the entire fleet of K8s clusters with zero manual steps by building industry leading tooling and contributing to core CNCF components.
You will also be responsible for ensuring scale, stability and security across a matrix of compliance regimes and hosting infrastructure types.
Your team culture emphasizes engineering rigor and operational excellence at scale.
This means issues in production should be pre-empted and deeply root-caused, and investments in automation and self-healing systems are key.
If you're excited about infrastructure at scale and working with Kubernetes, this is the right role for you.
