Employer Profile: Palantir

www.palantir.com

Palantir has been building its data integration and analysis platforms (aka Intelligence Infrastructure) for over six years. We were founded in 2004 by a handful of PayPal alumni and Stanford computer scientists. Since then we’ve doubled in size every year while retaining our early-stage values: a startup culture, strong work ethic, and rigorous hiring standards. Our two products, Palantir Government and Palantir Finance represent a whole new category of software that fundamentally change the way data analysis problems are approached. Our platforms seamlessly integrate disparate sources of data into a single coherent data model. In the end-user realm, our analysis tools sit atop the data platforms, delivering unheard of access, ease-of-use, and security to experts — humans who know a lot about a specific real-world problem but little of data systems.

We’re always looking for motivated, talented people to help us in our mission: making the world a better place — helping our users solve their hardest, most pressing problems. To learn more about Palantir, how we work, what we do, and what it’s like to work with us, check out our article, Work At Palantir, on the main Palantir website.
