Technical Program Manager (TPM) - Defense

A World-Changing Company


Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.


The Role


Palantir's defense product vertical builds mission-critical products for the modern warfighter. We provide a complete ecosystem where customers can securely integrate and visualize their data, and build sophisticated, full-fledged programs such as common operating pictures, alert-triaging inboxes, and resource allocation planning tools driven by rich-ML models. Our customers use our defense offering to perform rich analyses that drive core operations within their organizations - these programs are relied upon for daily operations in the command centers and battlefronts of militaries across the world.


As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) focused on our defense product offering, you are the engine behind Palantir’s engineering teams. You partner with developers to optimize our development process and make sure we’re shipping high quality products every day. You track and stabilize projects, remove roadblocks, and anticipate stakeholder needs to free up our engineers to focus their time and attention on the technical problems they are best equipped to solve.


This position requires a combination of project management, process optimization, technical aptitude and execution skills. You are a person who loves fixing problems and always embraces the best idea, even when it is not your own.


Core Responsibilities
  • Partner with Palantir software engineers, product managers, quality engineers, and designers to drive key product deliverables through the entire software development cycle.
  • Synthesize concrete technical goals from product vision, mapping global product strategy to granular team tasks and issues. This means triaging requests from the field to create maximum focus for the team, while escalating items that need immediate attention.
  • Keep broad and complete state of everything involving or related to your projects. Pre-empt and resolve any issues that may steer projects off-course.
  • Enhance cross-team collaboration. Read a room of technical experts to align them around shared objectives. Improve efficiency where you see miscommunication or lack of coordination.
  • Work with customer-facing engineering teams on adoption, roll out, and support of your product. 


What We Value
  • Demonstrated success managing complex software development projects for an enterprise software company or startup.
  • An ability to engage in technical discussion and invest in learning technical concepts.
  • Excellent judgment and composure in high-pressure situations.
  • A creative approach to project management centered around lightweight frameworks that enable rapid iteration, while operating in harmony with a larger development organization.
  • An ability to develop strong relationship with customer-facing teams and a high level of empathy with our end-users’ needs.
  • Meticulous attention to detail, including holding tightly to your team’s vision and maintaining a high product quality bar.
  • Ability and willingness to obtain a US security clearance at the Secret designation or above.


What We Require
  • Relevant technical degree or experience in a software-related field (Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, etc.).
  • 2+ years of project/program management experience, preferably in a fast-paced or dynamic environment.


Salary

Total compensation for this position may also include Restricted Stock units, sign-on bonus and other potential future incentives. Further note that total compensation for this position will be determined by each individual’s relevant qualifications, work experience, skills, and other factors. This estimate excludes the value of any potential sign-on bonus; the value of any benefits offered; and the potential future value of any long-term incentives.
