Tasks and Deliverables

Our client is seeking a Palantir Foundry & AIP Engineer with hands-on experience across the full Foundry ecosystem and Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP). This role goes beyond data engineering: you will design, build, and operationalize AI-powered workflows, agents, and applications that drive tangible business outcomes. The ideal candidate is a self-starter, able to translate complex business needs into scalable technical solutions, and confident working directly with stakeholders to maximize the value of Foundry and AIP.

Responsibilities:

Data & Workflow Engineering: Design, develop, and maintain scalable pipelines, transformations, and applications within Palantir Foundry.
AIP & AI Enablement:

Support the design and deployment of AIP use cases such as copilots, retrieval workflows, and decision-support agents.
Ground agents and logic flows using RAG (retrieval‐augmented generation) by connecting to relevant data sources, embedding/vector search, ontology content.
Use Ontology-Augmented Generation (OAG) when needed: operational decision making where logic, data, actions and relationships are embedded in the Ontology.
Collaborate with senior engineers on agent design, instructions, and evaluation using AIP’s native features.

End-to-End Delivery: Work with stakeholders to capture requirements, design solutions, and deliver working applications.
User Engagement: Provide training and support for business teams adopting Foundry and AIP.
Governance & Trust: Ensure solutions meet standards for data quality, governance, and responsible use of AI.
Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to expand AIP adoption and improve workflow automation.

Requirements

2+ years of professional experience with the Palantir Foundry ecosystem (data integration, ontology, pipelines, applications).
Strong technical skills in Python, PySpark, SQL, and data modelling.
Practical experience using or supporting AIP features such as RAG workflows, copilots, or agent-based applications.
Ability to work independently and engage directly with non-technical business users.
Strong problem-solving mindset and ownership of delivery.

Bonus Experience

Familiarity with AIP Agent Studio concepts (agents, instructions, tools, testing).
Exposure to AIP Evals and evaluation/test-driven approaches.
Experience with integration patterns (APIs, MCP, cloud services).
Consulting or applied AI/ML background.
Experience in Abu Dhabi or the broader MENA region.
