This role combines deep technical expertise in Kubernetes and distributed systems with strategic thinking to build scalable infrastructure solutions.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on critical infrastructure that powers Palantir's data-driven decision-making platforms.

You'll join a diverse, motivated team working on solutions that directly impact Palantir's ability to serve critical missions across industries, from healthcare to supply chain management.

The compensation package is competitive, ranging from $135,000 to $200,000 annually, complemented by an comprehensive benefits package including medical coverage, 401k, parental leave, and flexible time off. Based in Seattle, WA, this hybrid role offers the perfect balance of collaborative in-person work and flexibility.

This role presents an exceptional opportunity to work on cutting-edge infrastructure technology while contributing to Palantir's mission of solving the world's most critical challenges through data-driven operations.
