About the Role
The Platform Engineer - Palantir is the technical owner of Acrisure’s Palantir environment, accountable for the substrate that every Palantir use case is built on. This internal-facing role operates, architects, and curates components, defining how and how efficiently the program builds. The role is senior and hands-on, setting and implementing strategy for ingress/egress, permissions, environment topology, cost optimization, release governance, and the reusable component catalog. The engineer must be the most technically credible voice on Palantir platform mechanics, presenting cost-to-value, capacity, and reusability tradeoffs to the CTO and executive sponsors.
Responsibilities
- Actively configure and operate Palantir tenant settings across the platform stack.
- Design and implement the ingress strategy, including source system connections, connectors, schema management, and standards for data flows.
- Design and implement the egress strategy, covering Marketplace exports, OSDK and external API exposure, file/data export controls, and downstream consumption boundaries.
- Own the permissions architecture across the platform, including marking taxonomy, group hierarchy, role assignments, and least-privilege standards.
- Triage and resolve platform admin issues, including permissions, provisioning, ingress/egress configuration, and resource queue contention.
- Serve as a go-to resource for external teams leveraging the Palantir Platform.
- Drive the platform-wide reusable component catalog, including pipeline templates, Ontology patterns, Workshop building blocks, and OSDK modules.
- Establish standards for componentization, versioning, documentation, discovery, and consumption.
- Partner with FD Delta and FD Echo to extract reusable patterns and consolidate duplication.
- Maintain a library of platform-management components for efficient environment operation.
- Own end-to-end FinOps for the Palantir environment, including usage forecasting, compute optimization, build schedule efficiency, storage tiering, and licensing utilization.
- Establish resource quotas, project allocation models, and guardrails to prevent cost overruns.
- Identify and remediate cost anomalies in real time and partner with Finance on budgeting models.
- Present cost-to-value tradeoffs, capacity decisions, and reusability ROI to the CTO and executive sponsors.
- Establish and enforce platform governance standards, including branching strategy, environment promotion, release approvals, and change management.
- Drive the Palantir platform security posture in partnership with InfoSec and Data team.
- Maintain platform standards documentation and ensure adherence across teams.
- Support the Platform Engineering team through mentorship, technical direction, and standards setting.
- Support escalation triage for platform constraints and contribute technical input on tradeoffs.
- Coordinate directly with Palantir on platform upgrades, feature rollouts, and capability roadmap alignment.
Requirements
- Deep hands-on expertise with Palantir tenant administration across the platform stack.
- Hands-on experience with ingress patterns, including connectors, agent-based ingestion, source system integration, and pipeline scheduling.
- Hands-on experience with egress controls, including Marketplace, OSDK external endpoints, data export governance, and external-facing API exposure.
- Working proficiency across the Palantir product surface (Foundry, AIP, Marketplace, Quiver) sufficient to administer, govern, and componentize each.
- Strong Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, and SQL skills for writing platform tooling, automation, and remediation code.
- Demonstrated experience building and maintaining shared component libraries, internal developer platforms, or reusable pattern catalogs.
- Strong API design and abstraction instincts.
- Documentation and developer-experience sensibility.
- Demonstrated experience operating an enterprise data platform at scale.
- Strong FinOps fundamentals, including usage forecasting, cost optimization, chargeback model design, and capacity planning.
- Experience with release management, CI/CD pipelines, and environment promotion strategies.
- Working knowledge of enterprise security and access control patterns.
- Experience supporting compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, NYDFS, GDPR, HIPAA, or similar regulated environments.
- Demonstrated comfort partnering with InfoSec, Internal Audit, and Enterprise Architecture peers.
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a senior technical team.
- Ability to present platform cost, capacity, reusability, and risk tradeoffs to a CTO/CIO-level audience.
- Strong written communication skills for authoring governance documents, RFCs, and specifications.
- 5–10+ years of experience operating, architecting, and administering enterprise platforms.
- Prior Palantir Foundry administration experience strongly preferred.
- Experienced platform leads from Snowflake, Databricks, or AWS/Azure-native enterprise data stacks are encouraged to apply.
- Prior experience in insurance, financial services, or similarly regulated industries is a strong plus.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field.
