Software Engineer – Hosted Model Infrastructure

Washington, D.C.
Full Time On-site
A World-Changing Company
 
Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

The Role

We are a software engineering team with expertise in enabling ML models in production. We deploy AI models to run in variety of environments: air-gapped government networks, forward-deployed defense environments, edge nodes, and enterprises with strict data sovereignty requirements. Our customers rely on us for frontier AI capabilities running on hardware they control, often with constrained GPU resources and limited direct access. Rising to that challenge and meeting those expectations is what Palantir's excels at.

We treat models like any other software: continuously tested, continually delivered, packaged for reproducible deployment, and built for long-term maintainability. You will own services end-to-end, and work across the full stack, from inference engines, GPU scheduling to deployment pipelines, observability, and integration with Palantir's platform. The goal is to deliver new models and capabilities quickly and continuously.

Join us if you want to solve problems at the intersection of infrastructure and machine learning that directly enable critical customers.

Palantir

Palantir Technologies is a leading software company specializing in data integration, artificial intelligence, and decision-making platforms used across defense, intelligence, and commercial sectors. Its core platforms—Gotham and Foundry—enable organizations to fuse large, complex datasets into operational insights used for mission planning, battlefield awareness, supply chain optimization, and enterprise decision-making.

For job seekers, Palantir offers opportunities across software engineering, data science, product development, AI/ML engineering, forward-deployed engineering, cybersecurity, and technical consulting roles. The company is especially attractive to engineers, analysts, and problem-solvers who want to work closely with real-world users in defense and intelligence environments, often deploying directly alongside government and military customers.

Unlike traditional software companies that build tools in isolation, Palantir operates in a highly applied model where engineers work directly with end users to solve mission-critical problems in real time. Employees often embed with defense, intelligence, and enterprise organizations to build and deploy software that directly supports operations in areas such as counterterrorism, military planning, logistics, and cyber defense.

As demand for AI-driven decision-making, data fusion, and real-time intelligence continues to grow across government and industry, Palantir remains one of the most influential players in defense-adjacent software. For professionals seeking high-impact technical work at the intersection of data, AI, and national security, Palantir stands out as one of the most competitive and mission-driven employers in defense technology.
