Senior Data Engineer
*Job Summary*
Seeking a senior engineer to embed with Marine Corps Systems Command and build AI-enabled data applications on the Marine Corps' Palantir Foundry environment, part of the War Data Platform.
This is a hands-on build role embedded with the customer. The first six months are about getting the data architecture right and shipping working software, not producing roadmaps for someone else to execute.
*What you'll work on:*
* Partner directly with the customer's CIO staff to scope an AI capability for meeting minutes and schedule management, starting from an idea rather than a requirements document
* Design the underlying data architecture and models before anything gets built on top of them
* Integrate Microsoft SharePoint and other authoritative sources into Foundry using the Microsoft Graph API, including app registration, permissions, and sync
* Build production pipelines and transforms in Foundry, and develop the ontology objects the applications depend on
* Build and ship working applications in Foundry using TypeScript, React, and Python
* Collaborate with Palantir engineering on repository and data access setup
* Demo working software to senior government stakeholders and iterate on what you hear
* Advise government leadership on data architecture, interoperability, and how the environment should scale
*Qualifications*:
* *Active Secret clearance.*
* *Hands-on production Palantir Foundry experience: Pipeline Builder, code repositories, transforms, and ontology development*
* Strong application development ability in TypeScript, React, and Python
* Real experience integrating external APIs and moving data between enterprise systems
* You have shipped an AI or LLM-backed feature to actual users and handled it being wrong in production
* Comfort with ambiguity. You've walked into a project where the customer couldn't articulate what they wanted and returned with a scope
* Ability to hold your own in a room with senior government leadership
*Preferred Experience:*
* Foundry application layer: Ontology SDK, Workshop, AIP
* Microsoft Graph API and SharePoint Online integration
* Databricks, Spark, or lakehouse architecture experience
* Prior work with the War Data Platform, Advana, or comparable DoD enterprise data platforms
* Federated or distributed data architecture design
* IAT Level II (Security+). If you don't have it, we'll pay for it.
* Marine Corps, Navy, or DoD modernization experience
