The Role Information Security's mission is to secure Palantir, and by extension, protect our customers and the critical data they trust us with. We want someone whose technical skill is matched by integrity and genuine curiosity about security. You'll thrive here if you're self-motivated, collaborative, and energized by hard problems with no manual.

Ownership: We see projects through from beginning to end, working through any obstacles we may encounter. We trust each other to effectively handle time and priorities and give people the space to think for themselves. Collaboration: We work internally with people from a variety of backgrounds. We also work externally with our customers, to understand and tackle their problems. Growth: We believe experiential learning is one of the best teachers and encourage ourselves and our peers to seek new challenges and opportunities for growth, as well as find new ways to innovate and share knowledge. What We Value: Strong desire to own impactful security outcomes in a fast-paced, dynamic working environment. Ability to independently own projects and balance competing priorities, while still effectively collaborating with colleagues. What We Require: Engineering background in fields such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, and Physics. Eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance.
