Forward-Deployed Engineer

Role / title: Forward-Deployed Engineer (Palantir Foundry/AIP) - Echo

Job description:

Role Summary & Mission The FD Echo is the sustainability engine of the Palantir Center of Excellence. Where FD Delta builds and FD Partner drives value FD Echo ensures what has been built continues to deliver - at scale reliably and with growing business adoption over time. This role takes ownership of solutions at productionalization and is responsible for preventing capability atrophy: the gradual degradation of value that occurs when solutions are not sustained evolved or embedded into business operations.

FD Echo is a distinctive and critical role that blends technical depth with operational and enablement skills. It is the right fit for engineers who are energized by making things last not just making things work.

This is a Forward Deployed role so travel is expected. The range is between 10-30% (2-6 nights/month) on average with some periods being higher and some periods being lower.

• Partner with business unit teams to drive user adoption build user confidence and identify expansion opportunities within productionalized capabilities.
• Build and maintain enablement materials - documentation training guides reusable templates - to reduce reliance on CoE engineering resources over time.
• Support the Recurring Value Realization process for assigned use cases including preparation of Realization Dashboards and Value White Papers in partnership with the Value Partner.
