The Role
As a Platform Engineer on Palantir's Identity Platform team, you will design, build, and operate secure-by-design identity infrastructure and tooling. You will make identity governance and access management easier and more secure to implement for Palantirians and customers worldwide. As part of Palantir's best-in-class Information Security organization, you will research, implement, and scale innovative solutions that help Palantir stay ahead of a dynamic threat landscape.
You will help the team build the next-generation identity platform that treats agents and workload identities as first-class principals: the access graph that makes entitlements legible, the policy engine that makes authorization enforceable and auditable, and the token-issuance layer that keeps access short-lived, scoped, and least-privilege by default. Your work will shape the arc of these components from design to production.
You will join the high-performing Identity Platform team, engineers who are passionate about delivering identity outcomes at scale that reduce risk and friction. The team builds and operates the identity platforms that serve both corporate and production (customer-facing) infrastructure, and the paved-road tooling and secure baselines that teams across Palantir deploy on. Your goal will be to make the secure path the easy path. Your work will directly strengthen the identity substrate beneath Palantir's most critical deployments, from a globally distributed workforce to regulated and air-gapped environments.
