Forward Deployed Reliability Engineer

As a Forward Deployed Reliability Engineer (FDRE), you ensure the stability and reliability of mission-critical workflows built on Palantir software. You gather signal by going on call — resolving problems before the customer is impacted — and use those learnings to drive product change, shape our internal tooling, and refine our operational processes so that we provide an increasing quality of service to more and more customers.

Your approach is hands-on and pragmatic: you’ll rapidly address issues as they arise with quick and effective solutions, and advocate for workflow or product improvements once the immediate issue is resolved. You are energised by engaging directly with problems, from writing a script to automate a manual task, to finding creative workarounds, or building a case for a product enhancement. You don’t just fix issues — you look for opportunities to simplify, automate, and make the entire system more resilient.

An FDRE synthesises learnings from support into best practices for others to follow. These are captured in documentation and shared with the team and the wider organisation. In this way, you raise the bar for reliability and efficiency across Palantir.
