Palantir · Vilnius · €2,800 - €6,000/month · onsite

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) works directly with customers to understand their greatest problems and design and implement solutions to use data against them. As an FDE, you'll apply your problem-solving ability, creativity, and technical skills to help organisations use their data to drive a real impact in the world.

Your responsibilities will be similar to those of a startup CTO: you'll work in small teams with minimal supervision and own end-to-end execution of high-stakes projects. Your day might span discussing architecture with fellow engineers, wrangling massive-scale data, coding a custom web app, speaking with customer executives, or establishing strategy for your team.

As an FDE, you'll learn how to unpack a problem and understand the costs and consequences of its solution. You'll learn new technologies and languages, and even develop them yourself. You'll work autonomously and make decisions independently, within a community that will support and challenge you as you grow and develop.

Impact: We take on meaningful and challenging projects that change the world for the better

Ownership: We see projects through from beginning to end, working through any obstacles we may encounter

Collaboration: We work internally with people from a variety of backgrounds , such as other FDEs, product teams, and Deployment Strategists. We also work externally with our customers, often on site, to understand and solve their problems

Trust: We trust each other to effectively manage time and priorities and give people the space to think for themselves

Growth: We encourage ourselves and our peers to seek new challenges and opportunities for growth, as well as find new ways to innovate and share knowledge

Learning: We often face entirely novel problems where we need to pick up a lot of new knowledge and learn how to use it to make progress.
