Hi Professionals,
we have a position for Palantir FDE(Forward Deployed Engineer) at Cleveland, Ohio(Hybrid)
Title:Palantir FDE(Forward Deployed Engineer)
Location: Cleveland, Ohio – Hybrid
Experience: 12–15+ years
About the Role
Our client is currently on Palantir Foundry. We're proposing to migrate them off Palantir and rebuild equivalent capabilities on Databricks.
We need a senior, hands-on engineer who knows Foundry
deeply enough to reverse-engineer what's been built and rebuild it on Databricks. This is a client-facing, high-visibility role,
not a back-office dev position.
Must Have
* Worked at Palantir as an FDE/FDSE/Deployment Strategist, or worked on the client side building on Foundry for a meaningful period (not just exposure).
* Hands-on with Foundry Ontology (object types, links, actions, functions), Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, and Workshop apps.
* Strong Databricks experience: PySpark, Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, workflows/pipelines.
* Strong Python and SQL.
* Has designed data models and translated business workflows into working applications.
* Comfortable in front of client stakeholders: can run working sessions, explain trade-offs, and push back when needed.
* 12–15+ years total experience.
Nice to Have
* Prior Foundry-to-other-platform migration experience.
* AIP / Databricks Mosaic AI, agents, or GenAI use cases in production.
* Knowledge graph or semantic layer experience.
* App-layer build experience (Databricks Apps, React, Streamlit).
* Manufacturing, retail, or product data domain background.
