Overview

Palantir builds the world's leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

The Role

The Palantir Design Team is responsible for the human experience of using our software. Our team is growing rapidly, but we're committed to creating a tight-knit team environment that fosters trust, integrity, empathy, and growth. We work together in realising a shared product vision, and regularly give feedback and critique to each other.

Designing at Palantir is a varied experience. On a given day, you might be:

• Leading a design sprint for your product team
• Designing a micro-interaction to make a complex analytical task feel simple
• Advocating for UX consistency by creating flexible, reusable UI components

You consider things like API documentation, SDK functionality, and developer onboarding and can speak the language of a developer. You have familiarity with existing developer tooling and have a strong understanding of developer workflows.

Core Responsibilities

• Interaction and visual design: Involved at every stage of design work, helping define early product concepts, high-level workflows, micro-interactions, and executing effective visual designs. Experience with mockup and prototyping tools is preferred.
• User research: Conducting informal user research, being flexible with research methodologies to achieve the right outcome.
• Prototyping: Creating prototypes to communicate designs and validate decisions.
• Partnering with engineers: Collaborating closely with product and engineers to realize design ideas, treating engineers as partners.
• Awareness of software interfaces: Familiarity with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Typescript is appreciated, with resources available for learning more.

Designers at Palantir have great autonomy over their work, and many are passionate experts in specific areas, such as shipping code weekly or sharing detailed user research findings.

What We Value

• An iterative design process: Validating ideas early, seeking and responding to feedback, moving fast, listening, and adapting. Promptly incorporating feedback and prioritizing collaboration.
• Collaboration and communication: Building relationships with engineers, PMs, and stakeholders, conveying design rationale through presentations, prototypes, and specs.
• Thoughtful, intentional work: Designing software that changes how people use data in various contexts by understanding and empowering users from different backgrounds.

What We Require

A portfolio demonstrating at least one software interface design project. If parts are password-protected, include the password under 'Additional Information' when applying.

• Interaction and visual design. As a product designer, you'll be involved at every stage of design work. You'll help define early product concepts, flesh out the high-level workflow and micro-interactions of a feature, and execute on a crisp and effective visual design. You should have experience with mockup and prototyping tools. User research. We frequently do informal user research, and value people who can be flexible with research processes and methodologies to achieve the right outcome. Prototyping. You will prototype, both to communicate your designs and validate your decisions. Partnering with engineers. We work closely with product and forward deployed engineers to realize our design ideas. You'll treat engineers as partners and
collaborate with them to prototype and build out products.
• Awareness of how software interfaces are built. Familiarity with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Typescript is appreciated. You don't need to be an expert-just fluent enough to collaborate with engineers, and know what's possible with frontend technologies. Resources and mentorship are available to designers who want to learn more.Designers at Palantir have great autonomy over their work, so a wide skill set is necessary. However, many designers on the team are also passionate experts in one area. You might be the kind of designer who ships code every week, or the kind of designer who shares detailed user research findings with your team.What We ValueAn iterative design process.

You know that form informs function and usability-that the surface layer doesn't exist in a vacuum. Your design decisions are often informed by-and will influence-engineering and business to the user. You'll design software that changes how people use data in government, commercial, and philanthropic contexts. You strive to understand our users-who can range from a manufacturing plant worker to a pharmaceutical researcher-and fight to empower them.What We Require A portfolio demonstrating at least one software interface design project.
