Job Description
A WorldChanging Company
Palantir builds the worlds leading software for datadriven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving forecast supply chain disruptions locate missing children and more.
The Role
Palantir Foundry is an endtoend platform for datadriven decisionmaking and as a 3D Software Engineer you will play a pivotal role in extending its capabilities to handle advanced 3D visualization and geospatial workflows. Were transforming the way organizations integrate and interact with complex 3D datasuch as gaussian splats point clouds BIM files CAD models and schematicsso they can build reliable missioncritical applications atop a unified foundation.
In this role you will join a specialized team within Foundry focused on 3D tools and visualization working closely with industries like Architecture Construction Automotive Aerospace Space Oil and Gas Mining and Utilities. Our customers use Foundry to visualize and analyze 3D models and geospatial data to support their daily operations across infrastructure planning asset management digital twins for industrial facilities and realtime monitoring of complex engineering systems.
As a 3D Software Engineer you will be responsible for designing and developing cuttingedge tools that allow thousands of users to interact with 3D data in intuitive and powerful ways. You will develop new endtoend approaches for displaying 3D geometryfrom offline preprocessing of large datasets to novel realtime approaches on the GPUand build applications that use them for visualization and analysis. Your work will empower customers to build sophisticated applications such as interactive dashboards for construction sites geospatial analysis tools for mining operations or simulation environments for aerospace design.
You may spend one day collaborating with customers in the construction sector to understand their needs when visualizing BIM files identify gaps in their current tools and prototype solutions. The next day you might brainstorm with teammates on optimizing shader performance for rendering largescale point clouds or voxel models in real time or work with backend engineers to define APIs and schemas that back these workflows.
Youll regularly face sophisticated technical problems requiring you to scope out the solution design and find an incremental path to ship new features. As part of this you will own APIs and schemas that power your frontend code or work with other backend engineers in developing them together.
Below are some examples of the types of product work youd get to do in this role:
3D Visualization Tools: Build interactive tools for rendering and manipulating 3D models such as CAD and BIM files enabling architects and engineers to explore designs in real time.
Geospatial Workflows: Develop features for visualizing and analyzing geospatial data like gaussian splats point clouds and voxel models supporting use cases in utilities mining oil and gas exploration and urban planning.
Shader Development: Write and optimize custom shaders to enhance the performance and visual fidelity of renderings for applications in aerospace and automotive design.
Digital Twins: Create interfaces for integrating 3D schematics and realtime sensor data powering digital twin applications for utilities and industrial facilities.
Performance Optimization: Solve complex challenges related to rendering largescale 3D datasets ensuring smooth performance for endusers in highstakes environments like space mission planning.
Core Responsibilities
- Creating 3D tools and environments for visualizing and analyzing a variety of data types
- Collaborate with industry experts to create tailored visualization solutions for construction and manufacturing.
- Building products which aim to make technical concepts accessible for nontechnical users
- Working as part of a community of engineers building shared frontend tooling to enable teams across Foundry
- Designing and building for highscale data intensive APIs
Technologies We Use
- Typescript React and GQL are central to our frontend development.
- Three.js WebGL GLSL and similar technologies for rendering and manipulating 3D models and geospatial data.
- Blueprint as a reusable front end component library.
- A combination of opensource and internal technologies that suit the problems at hand.
- Industrystandard build tooling including Gradle Webpack GitHub and CircleCI.
What We Value
- Passion for improving user workflows by building 3D interfaces that enable users to solve complex problems such as visualizing infrastructure or analyzing geospatial data while maintaining engineering quality.
- Ability to work collaboratively in teams of technical and nontechnical individuals and understand how technical decisions impact the people who will use what youre building.
- Skill and comfort working in a constantly evolving environment with dynamic objectives and iteration with users.
- Experience brainstorming and iterating with product designers.
- Experience building highquality software in a fastpaced CI/CD development environment.
- Proven ability to learn continuously work independently and make decisions with minimal supervision.
- Ability to learn new technology and concepts even without indepth experience.
- Active US Security clearance or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance is beneficial but not necessary.
What We Require
- 2 years of software engineering experience with a focus on graphics visualization or geospatial data processing.
- Strong frontend coding skills used to write clean effective and performant code regardless of framework.
- Familiarity with concepts common to 3D data transmission and rendering including data structures rendering frameworks (e.g. three.js deck.gl GLSL or similar languages for shader programming linear algebra.
- Proficiency with programming languages such as JavaScript/TypeScript or other similar languages.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills to collaborate with crossfunctional teams and articulate complex concepts to nontechnical stakeholders.
