You are a good communicator who thrives in cross-timezone collaborations and individual projects. You feel comfortable working in a data-rich and dynamic environment, putting various pieces of the puzzle together to create a coherent picture. This position will offer an exciting work environment, multi-functional exposure, and a chance to create an impact on Palantir’s product development, customer satisfaction and bottom line, by driving analysis, and recommending and implementing processes.
