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.

Life at Palantir

We celebrate individual strengths, skills, and interests, fostering community growth and well-being. We promote in-person work to encourage connectivity and innovation, with some teams offering hybrid options. Candidates may have the opportunity to work remotely on certain roles, based on business needs. We value diversity and are committed to accessibility in our hiring processes.
