This hands-on role combines platform administration and operational reliability with solution development: building and sustaining data pipelines, Ontology resources, applications, and AI-enabled workflows. The role is suited to someone equally comfortable diagnosing production issues and delivering maintainable Foundry solutions. Working with the government Foundry product owner, data governance specialists, engineers, and end users, the Analyst/Developer will translate requirements into governed data products, improve data quality and discoverability, resolve technical issues, and support user adoption and long-term sustainment. Responsibilities Platform Administration, Operations & Maintenance * Operate, configure, monitor, and maintain Foundry resources, projects, workloads, administrative settings, and resource allocations to support reliable day-to-day performance. * Diagnose and resolve jobs, pipeline, permissions, connectivity, resource, and performance issues; investigate recurring incidents and coordinate complex cases with government technical teams and Palantir support. * Support authorized platform configuration changes, upgrades, testing, release validation, monitoring improvements, and operational change management. * Use Python, SQL, and scripting for troubleshooting, operational automation, and technical enhancements. Foundry Development & Technical Solutions * Design, develop, maintain, and optimize scalable data pipelines, ETL processes, and workflows using Foundry Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, Python, PySpark, and SQL. * Model enterprise data in the Foundry Ontology, including object types, properties, links, data objects, and actions; develop and sustain workflows that meet operational needs. * Build, test, and enhance Foundry applications, dashboards, and analytics using Workshop, Quiver, Contour, and other appropriate tools; validate outputs with stakeholders. * Implement or support Palantir AIP and AI/ML integrations, including model-backed analytical workflows and downstream applications as needed. * Troubleshoot, optimize, and sustain existing Foundry solutions, ensuring performance, maintainability, and alignment with business requirements. Data Governance, User Support & Collaboration * Partner with data governance specialists to implement metadata and catalog management, lineage, data quality and validation checks, ownership, security policies, access controls, and governed data products within Foundry. * Work with the government Foundry product owner and stakeholders to translate operational needs into platform configurations, technical solutions, and enhancements. * Support Foundry user groups, developers, and analysts through troubleshooting, demonstrations, user documentation, training materials, and knowledge transfer. * Maintain clear technical documentation, data flows and schemas, solution designs, operational runbooks, configuration records, and troubleshooting procedures to support reproducibility, onboarding, and sustainment.
