Forward Deployed Software Engineer

Palantir Technologies is seeking a Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE) to join their team in Vilnius, Lithuania. As an FDSE, you'll work directly with customers to solve complex data-driven problems that have real-world impact. The role combines technical expertise with customer interaction, similar to a startup CTO position.

You'll be part of a company that builds world-leading software for data-driven decisions and operations, helping organizations develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more. The position offers unique exposure to some of the world's most important industries and institutions.

Your responsibilities will span from technical implementation to strategic planning. You'll work autonomously in small teams, handling everything from architecture discussions and massive-scale data management to custom web application development and executive-level communication. The role requires strong coding skills, particularly in languages like Python, Java, C++, and TypeScript/JavaScript.

This position is perfect for someone who wants to grow both technically and professionally. You'll learn new technologies, develop solutions for novel problems, and gain invaluable experience in both engineering and business strategy. The role requires fluency in Lithuanian and willingness to travel 25-50% of the time.

Palantir offers a collaborative environment where individual strengths are celebrated, and professional growth is encouraged. The company provides comprehensive health and well-being programs, though benefits may vary by region. While the role is primarily office-based to foster innovation and creativity, hybrid work options are available for some teams.

If you're passionate about using technology to solve meaningful problems, have strong analytical skills, and thrive in dynamic environments, this role offers an exceptional opportunity to make a significant impact while developing your career.
