Job Description

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

As a Platform Engineer on Palantir's Identity Platform team, you will design, build, and operate secure-by-design identity infrastructure and tooling. You will make identity governance and access management easier and more secure to implement for Palantirians and customers worldwide. As part of Palantir's best-in-class Information Security organization, you will research, implement, and scale innovative solutions that help Palantir stay ahead of a dynamic threat landscape.

You will help the team build the next-generation identity platform that treats agents and workload identities as first-class principals: the access graph that makes entitlements legible, the policy engine that makes authorization enforceable and auditable, and the token-issuance layer that keeps access short-lived, scoped, and least-privilege by default. Your work will shape the arc of these components from design to production.

You will join the high-performing Identity Platform team, engineers who are passionate about delivering identity outcomes at scale that reduce risk and friction. The team builds and operates the identity platforms that serve both corporate and production (customer-facing) infrastructure, and the paved-road tooling and secure baselines that teams across Palantir deploy on. Your goal will be to make the secure path the easy path. Your work will directly strengthen the identity substrate beneath Palantir's most critical deployments, from a globally distributed workforce to regulated and air-gapped environments.

Core Responsibilities

  • Develop automation and tooling for corporate and customer-facing identity platforms
  • Build, secure, and manage geo-redundant containerized services (EKS and ECS) in AWS and Azure
  • Scale the implementation of Single Sign-On (SSO) integrations across multiple Entra ID tenants using infrastructure-as-code frameworks
  • Build tooling to standardize and scale operational workflows across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  • Extend the identity platform to non-human identities, treating workloads and AI agents as first-class principals with scoped, short-lived credentials
  • Build the governance layer: an access graph that makes entitlements legible and a policy engine that makes authorization decisions enforceable and auditable
  • Design token-issuance and federation flows that make least-privilege, ephemeral access the default
  • Research and drive adoption of emerging authentication and session security standards (such as device-bound session credentials and continuous access evaluation) in collaboration with Security Engineers
  • Pressure-test designs and partner with Identity Security Engineers to threat model implementations before they ship
  • Partner with Security Compliance Engineers to build services that reduce the cost and complexity of compliance enforcement
  • What We Value

  • Technical proficiency in identity protocols (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0, LDAP, Kerberos, FIDO2, WebAuthn)
  • Experience managing identities and governance workflows on platforms such as Entra ID, Keycloak, AWS Cognito, or Okta
  • Experience with policy engines and authorization-as-code, and with relationship-based access modeling or entitlement graph design
  • Experience with token issuance and federation, including OAuth 2.0 token exchange, short-lived credentials, and workload identity federation
  • Non-human identity experience: workload and machine identity (service-to-service authentication, mTLS, workload attestation), plus interest in agentic identity (agents as principals, delegation and on-behalf-of flows, and attribution across a delegation chain)
  • What We Require

  • 3+ years of experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), DevOps, software engineering, or an equivalent discipline, with a strong passion for security
  • Experience deploying and operating containerized services (EKS, ECS, or similar) in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
  • Experience building and operating production services or APIs, not only automation scripts
  • Expert-level proficiency in a language such as Go (preferred), Python, or TypeScript
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm, CloudFormation, or similar)
  • An active TS/SCI security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one
  • Salary

    The salary range for this position is estimated to be $135,000 - $200,000/year. Total compensation for this position may also include Restricted Stock units, sign-on bonus and other potential future incentives. Further note that total compensation for this position will be determined by each individual's relevant qualifications, work experience, skills, and other factors. This estimate excludes the value of any potential sign-on bonus; the value of any benefits offered; and the potential future value of any long-term incentives.

    Life at Palantir

     

    We want every Palantirian to achieve their best outcomes, that’s why we celebrate individuals’ strengths, skills, and interests, from your first interview to your longterm growth, rather than rely on traditional career ladders.

Therefore, we encourage employees to work from our offices to foster connectivity and innovation. Many teams do offer hybrid options (WFH a day or two a week), allowing our employees to strike the right trade-off for their personal productivity. Based on business need, there are a few roles that allow for “Remote” work on an exceptional basis. If you are applying for one of these roles, you must work from the state in which you are employed. If the posting is specified as Onsite, you are required to work from an office.

     

    If you want to empower the world's most important institutions, you belong here. Palantir values excellence regardless of background. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer for all, including but not limited to Veterans and those with disabilities. Palantir is committed to making the application and hiring process accessible to everyone and will provide a reasonable accommodation for those living with a disability. If you need an accommodation for the application or hiring process, please reach out and let us know how we can help.
