Palantir Foundry Engineer

Hello

Good Morning!
Hope you are doing well.
This is Steve from Sidram Technologies. We have an immediate requirement for Palantir Foundry Engineer (Healthcare Domain)

Position Title
Palantir Foundry Engineer
Domain EXP
(Healthcare Domain)
Location
Nashville TN (Onsite Day one) Locals

Job Description

Role Summary

Hands-on Foundry specialist who can design ontology-first data products engineer high-reliability pipelines and operationalize them into secure observable and reusable building blocks used by multiple applications (Workshop/Slate AIP/Actions). Youll own the full lifecycle: from raw sources to governed versioned materialized datasets wired into operational apps and AIP agents.
Core Responsibilities
Ontology & Data Product Design: Model Object Types relationships and semantics; enforce schema evolution strategies; define authoritative datasets with lineage and provenance.
Pipelines & Materializations: Build Code Workbook transforms (SQL PySpark/Scala) orchestrate multi-stage DAGs tune cluster/runtime parameters and implement incremental snapshot patterns with backfills and recovery.
Operationalization: Configure schedules SLAs/SLOs alerts/health checks and data quality tests (constraints anomaly/volume checks); implement idempotency checkpointing and graceful retries.
Governance & Security: Apply RBAC object-level permissions policy tags/PII handling and least-privilege patterns; integrate with enterprise identity; document data contracts.
Performance Engineering: Optimize joins/partitions caching/materialization strategies file layout (e.g. Parquet/Delta) and shuffle minimization; instrument with runtime metrics and cost controls.
Dev Productivity & SDLC: Use Git-backed code repos branching/versioning code reviews unit/integration tests for transforms; templatize patterns for reuse across domains.
Applications & Interfaces: Expose ontology-backed data to Workshop/Slate apps wire Actions and AIP agents to governed datasets; publish clean APIs/feeds for downstream systems.
Reliability & Incident Response: Own on-call for data products run RCAs create runbooks and drive preventive engineering.
Documentation & Enablement: Produce playbooks data product specs and runbooks; mentor engineers and analysts on Foundry best practices.
Required Qualifications
7 years in data engineering/analytics engineering with 4 years hands-on Palantir Foundry at scale.
Deep expertise in Foundry Ontology Code Workbooks Pipelines Materializations Lineage/Provenance and object permissions.
Strong SQL and PySpark/Scala in Foundry; comfort with UDFs window functions and partitioning/bucketing strategies.
Proven operational excellence: SLAs/SLOs alerting data quality frameworks backfills rollbacks blue/green or canary data releases.
Fluency with Git CI/CD for Foundry code repos test automation for transforms and environment promotion.
Hands-on with cloud storage & compute (AWS/Azure/GCP) file formats (Parquet/Delta) and cost/perf tuning.
Strong grasp of data governance (PII masking policy tags) and security models within Foundry.
Nice to Have
Building Workshop/Slate UX tied to ontology objects; authoring Actions and integrating AIP use cases.
Streaming/event ingestion patterns (e.g. Kafka/Kinesis) materialized into curated datasets.
Observability stacks (e.g. Datadog/CloudWatch/Prometheus) for pipeline telemetry; FinOps/cost governance.
Experience establishing platform standards: templates code style testing frameworks domain data product catalogs.
Success Metrics (90 180 Days)
99.5% pipeline success rate with documented SLOs and active alerting.
< 20% runtime/cost reduction via optimization and materialization strategy.
Zero P1 data incidents and 4h MTTR with playbooks and automated remediation.
3 reusable templates (ingestion CDC enrichment) adopted by partner teams.
Ontology coverage for priority domains with versioned contracts and lineage.
Example Work Youll Own
Stand up incremental CDC pipelines with watermarking & late-arrivals handling; backfill historical data safely.
Define business-ready ontology for a domain and wire it to Workshop apps and AIP agents that trigger Actions.
Implement DQ gates (null/dup checks distribution drift) that fail fast and auto-open incidents with context.
Build promotion workflows (dev staging prod) with automated tests on transforms and compatibility checks for ontology changes.
