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 Security Systems Engineer at Palantir, you are responsible for implementing, designing, and maintaining the physical security systems that ensure the protection of Palantir’s people, assets, intellectual property, and reputation. You lead research and evaluations for the latest technology, security infrastructure, policies, procedures, systems, and applications, looking for easy-to-use capabilities that reduce button clicks and ultimately give time back to the operator. You will be collaborating with technical teams to develop and maintain end-to-end project plans and ensure on-time delivery.

Your technical expertise is second only to your integrity and genuine passion for security and technology. As a member of the Global Security and Investigations team, you work with security professionals, architects, lawyers, and software and network engineers to deliver a safe and secure environment for your fellow employees. Palantir is a global company, so you'll lead physical security projects all over the world. You'll work hard to break down barriers between teams by communicating your knowledge and goals effectively across time zones and other physical and virtual barriers.

*Please note this role is NOT for cyber security or information security positions*

Core Responsibilities

  • Design and oversee the technical aspects of your projects from conception to full deployment.
  • Systems naturally break and need maintenance. You'll work with vendors and end users to find the best solutions for a problem, in the shortest possible time.
  • Leverage both system and software engineering skills in order to address the needs of all teams within Global Safety and Security.
  • Prepare and document standard operating procedures, protocols, and security standards.
  • Responsible for scheduling, testing, and implementing enhancements or new releases of server operating systems.
  • Develop detailed project plans, timelines, budgets, and resource allocation for all project phases.
  • Regularly present project updates, status reports, and risk summaries to leadership.
  • Ensure that all deliverables meet internal security policies, regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, NIST, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS), and industry standards.
  • Validate that implemented security controls are effective and meet project goals before project closure.
  • Prioritize tasks across competing deadlines and manage scope changes gracefully.
  • What We Value

  • Experience supporting Global Security Operations Centers, offices, and remote outposts.
  • Strong engineering background, preferred in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics.
  • Active TS security clearance or willingness and eligibility to obtain a security clearance is a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to continuously learn, work independently, and make decisions with minimal supervision in a rapidly changing environment.
  • Willingness and interest to travel up to 25% of the time, including to Palantir’s domestic and international offices as needed.
  • What We Require

  • 5+ years' experience maintaining, installing, managing and problem-solving on security systems and related technologies. Familiarity with data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks, and other technical tools.
  • Proficiency with enterprise Video Management Systems, enterprise Physical Access Control Systems, Intruder Detection Systems, Communication Systems, and security hardware.
  • Proficiency with programming languages such as Java, C++, Python, JavaScript, or similar languages.
  • Salary

     

    The estimated salary range for this position is estimated to be $95,000 - $142,000/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. Paying attention to the needs of our community enables us to optimize our opportunities to grow and helps ensure many pathways to success at Palantir. Promoting health and well-being across all areas of Palantirians’ lives is just one of the ways we’re investing in our community.

    In keeping consistent with Palantir’s values and culture, we believe employees are “better together” and in-person work affords the opportunity for more creative outcomes. 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.

     

    Please note that you will never be asked to submit a payment or share financial information to participate in our interview process. If you suspect that you've been contacted by a scammer, we recommend you cease all communication with the individual and consider reporting them to the relevant authorities, such as the US FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
