Are you excited about building world-class platforms that power mission-critical software at a huge scale? As a Software Engineer on the Apollo platform, you will build software at scale to transform how organisations around the world deploy software. You will be responsible for mission-critical software powering deployment of software for both Palantir and its customers in the commercial and government space.

Apollo enables autonomous management and continuous deployment of software, wherever it is. We're taking SAAS to where SAAS has not gone before: from on-premise, to various cloud providers, to disconnected environments (air-gapped), to strict accreditation frameworks including IL-5 and FedRAMP, and to the edge.

As a Software Engineer, you'll collaborate closely with technical and non-technical counterparts to understand our customers' problems and build products that solve them. You have a curious mind, high bar for engineering quality and ability to work in a dynamic environment where the best idea wins.
