  • Develop repeatable deployment processes, integration playbooks, and technical documentation that enable scalable customer implementations
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Customer Success, and external partners to deliver seamless technical solutions

  • Experience supporting government, defense, or mission-critical technology programs is strongly preferred
  • Familiarity with Palantir Foundry, Gotham, AIP, or comparable operational platforms is a plus
  • Comfortable working independently in dynamic, fast-paced customer environments with extensive travel (50%+)
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI security clearance (active clearance is strongly preferred)
