Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Palantir Technologies Full time

Palantir Technologies is a world-changing company that builds software for data-driven decisions and operations. Our platforms empower partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Site Reliability Engineer to join our Database Operations team. As a Site Reliability Engineer, you will be responsible for scaling, maintaining, operating, and modernizing the databases behind Palantir's products.

You will work closely with engineers to design sensible, scalable systems and to diagnose, resolve, and prevent production issues. This role exposes you to a broad range of products and business use cases, and builds operational and systems skills that are useful across the industry and in most engineering roles.

Most of the work has implications for the entire fleet of Palantir environments, and therefore there is ample opportunity to improve the performance, stability, and costs at a very large scale.

Key Responsibilities:
  1. Build expertise on pre-existing systems — their edge cases, failure modes, and life cycles - and how to improve the long-term reliability and scalability of Palantir's services.
  2. Modify core services and infrastructure to improve stability and performance.
  3. Participate in operations, including on-call rotations during business hours and occasional weekends. Troubleshoot and debug availability and latency of Palantir's databases and their clients.
  4. Modernize the fleet by migrating infrastructure, upgrading major versions, and right-sizing to optimize cost and performance.
Requirements:
  1. Engineering background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics or similar field.
  2. Familiarity with storage and data processing systems, cloud infrastructure, and other technical tools.
  3. Familiarity with monitoring systems using tools like Prometheus and writing health checks
  4. Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to iterate quickly with teammates, incorporating feedback and holding a high bar for quality.

Compensation: $140,000 per year (estimated). At Palantir, we celebrate individuals' strengths, skills, and interests, from your first interview to your longterm growth, rather than rely on traditional career ladders. We promote a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion and encourage candidates from a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences to join us in solving the world's hardest problems.
