Forward Deployed Software Engineer

Palantir Technologies is seeking a Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE) to join their team in Munich. As an FDSE, you'll work directly with customers to solve their most critical operational challenges using data-driven solutions. The role combines technical expertise with customer interaction, similar to a startup CTO position. You'll be responsible for understanding complex problems, designing solutions, and implementing them using Palantir's platforms.

The position offers unique exposure to various industries and institutions, working on high-impact projects that range from flight delay analysis to money laundering detection. You'll be part of small, autonomous teams where you'll own end-to-end execution of critical projects. Your daily activities might include architectural discussions, data handling at scale, custom web application development, and strategic planning.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to develop both technical and leadership skills. You'll learn to tackle complex problems, master new technologies, and make independent decisions while being supported by a collaborative community. The position requires German fluency and willingness to travel 25-50% of the time to client sites.

Palantir offers a unique work environment that values individual growth over traditional career ladders. They focus on promoting health and well-being across all areas of employees' lives and believe in the power of in-person collaboration while offering hybrid work options. This is an excellent opportunity for those who want to make a real impact while working with cutting-edge technology and solving meaningful problems.
