Palantir Data Engineer

• Quickly come up to speed on the current data organization of the product, converting that data model into a Palantir Ontology representation
• Develop back-end code logic that leverages semantic object linking (ontologies) to enhance data integration, analysis, and visualization capabilities.
• Give suggestions and recommendations on changes to the data model that would improve performance, extensibility, or flexibility of the Palantir solution
• Work closely with data strategists to develop technology solutions for business problems, ensuring seamless data flow and integration.
• Implement validations and transforms of the Ontology data as required, taking full advantage of Foundry platform capabilities
• Create examples or write interface code that will ease connection to Ontology data from other parts of our system
• Create and configure ontology objects using backing datasets, permissions, and other configurations.
• Document ontologies, data models, schemas, formats, and software application program interfaces.
• Partner with product owners, architects, and developers to design data architecture and pipelining.
• Provide training and support to users on the capabilities and use cases enabled by the enhancement of Palantir Foundry ontology.
