Additional Information
Forward-Deployed Engineer (Palantir Foundry / AIP) - Echo
Role Summary & Mission
The FD Echo is the sustainability engine of the Palantir Center of Excellence. Where FD Delta builds, and FD Partner drives value, FD Echo ensures what has been built continues to deliver - at scale, reliably, and with growing business adoption over time. This role takes ownership of solutions at productionalization and is responsible for preventing capability atrophy: the gradual degradation of value that occurs when solutions are not sustained, evolved, or embedded into business operations.
FD Echo is a distinctive and critical role that blends technical depth with operational and enablement skills. It is the right fit for engineers who are energized by making things last, not just making things work.
This is a Forward Deployed role, so travel is expected. The range is between 10-30% (2-6 nights/month) on average, with some periods being higher and some periods being lower.
