Travel: 0% (fully remote) - May require onsite visit to CDC as needed
The Role
The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) serves as a hands-on member of the technical team supporting the implementation of a data-driven operational intelligence platform built on Palantir Foundry and AIP. Working under the direction of an Echo/Deployment Strategist, you will help deliver a phased minimum viable product (MVP) that supports mission-critical decision-making for a federal government client.
FDEs execute assigned implementation tasks within established architecture and sprint plans, raise issues and blockers to their Deployment Strategist, and help ensure sprint deliverables meet operational standards.
Key Responsibilities
Support development of a data ontology and foundation that will underpin future predictive modeling capabilities
Contribute to a Workshop-based application (interactive scenario builder or operations dashboard with real-time insights) using Foundry’s Workshop/Slate application layer
Build and support natural-language querying capability over structured data, covering key business dimensions such as time, cost, quality, and context
Support ingestion of policy and reference documents into Foundry as searchable content
Implement rules-based logic and reusable business definitions anchored to the platform Ontology
Participate in agile sprint cycles, including planning, standups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and backlog grooming
Demonstrate working capabilities to government stakeholders
Coordinate with client stakeholders and platform project managers as directed by the Deployment Strategist
Deliver clear technical documentation and configuration notes to support handoff and future roadmap phases
Provide defect resolution, troubleshooting, and incremental improvements
Support bi-weekly progress reports and sprint status updates alongside the Deployment Strategist
Preferred Qualifications (Mid-Level Engineer)
Familiarity with Palantir Foundry, including pipelines, Workshop/Slate, and Ontology configuration
3-5 years of software engineering, data engineering, or systems integration experience
Exposure to regulated or compliance-driven data domains is a plus
Experience with Python, TypeScript, or Java in a data platform or analytics environment
Familiarity with data governance practices in federal or public-sector data environments
Comfortable working with moderate independence across the build, test, and deployment lifecycle, escalating complex architecture decisions to senior engineering staff
