The Role
Product Reliability Engineers (PREs) are the driving forces of stability across Palantir’s products and help to ensure our products are available 24/7. When something goes wrong, we are the first to respond and are responsible for triaging, troubleshooting, and coordinating the resolution.
Every day at Palantir is different: we’re constantly evolving to better respond to customer needs, and as a PRE you will work closely with our engineering and business teams to minimize risks. You are a resourceful, creative, and agile problem solver who is able to work collaboratively and independently to resolve the most difficult and nebulous technical issues. This includes everything from creating product health metrics and automated alerts, to fixing product bugs, streamlining operational tasks, and developing and documenting strategies for responding to incidents.
Whatever the technical root cause of the issue is, you’ll play a central and critical role in resolving it — seeking not just a one-time fix, but a permanent solution.

Responsibilities
- ◆Develop a deep understanding of Palantir's products and processes.
- ◆Collaborate with customer-facing, product, and infrastructure teams on the development and deployment of scalable, reliable software for our customers.
- ◆Deliver end-to-end improvements to stability by proactively preventing issues via telemetry and automation and directly reducing the need for reactive support.
- ◆Maintain and improve the operational capacity of our production databases, including resolving incidents and streamlining operational workflows.
