Forward Deployed Engineer at Palantir

Palantir originated the Forward Deployed Engineer role and still runs the deepest version of it. FDEs and Deployment Strategists embed with commercial and government customers for months at a time, becoming domain experts in the customer's business and building directly on Foundry and Gotham. If you want the canonical FDE experience — heavy customer immersion, real ownership, and a tight loop back to product — Palantir is the reference implementation. Roles range from new-grad and internship tracks to senior infrastructure and software positions across US commercial and government sectors.
