Staffworx Limited
Palantir Foundry Lead Consultant - Lead architect and hands-on technical owner for Palantir Foundry implementations. You will design and build production-grade data and application workflows on Foundry, own technical decisions end-to-end and work directly with senior stakeholders while mentoring engineering teams. Core Responsibilities Foundry Solution Architecture & Build Own end-to-end solution design across: Data integration (Pipeline Builder/code-based pipelines, connectors, incremental loads). Ontology modelling (object/relationship design, semantics, versioning). Application layer (Workshop, Code Repositories, OSDK/APIs, Actions, AIP/agentic workflows). Define and implement patterns for data modelling, transformation, and lineage tracking. Design permission models (RBAC/ABAC), object-level security and auditability. Implement CI/CD and environment promotion strategies for Foundry artefacts. Scalability, Reliability & Operations Lead performance tuning for large-scale production deployments (eg parallelisation, partitioning, caching, compute configuration). Design monitoring, alerting and observability for pipelines, applications and integrations. Handle incident response and root cause analysis for platform and application issues. Define and enforce non-functional requirements (SLA/SLOs, resilience, disaster recovery). Client-Facing Engineering & Stakeholder Management Run technical discovery with senior stakeholders to translate business needs into concrete Foundry use cases. Present architectures, trade-offs and risk assessments to both technical teams and C-suite. Provide technical guidance on integration with existing enterprise systems (data warehouses, message buses, APIs, identity providers). Enablement, Mentoring & Standards Design and deliver technical bootcamps, hands-on labs and enablement plans for engineers, analysts and power users. Mentor engineers on Foundry internals, best practices, and debugging strategies. Contribute to and enforce internal standards: code quality, naming conventions, testing strategies, pipeline/app design patterns. Required Experience Extensive experience working with Palantir , ideally as a Forward Deployed Engineer or equivalent implementation role. Multiple large-scale Foundry implementations in production , with direct ownership of: Solution architecture Deployment strategy Operational runbook and handover Demonstrable enterprise experience with: Performance bottlenecks at scale Complex permissioning/security models Schema and ontology evolution Integration failures and incident recovery Strong client-facing track record with senior stakeholders and C-suite , including technical steering sessions and design reviews. History of teaching, mentoring or training engineers or mixed-ability teams on Foundry (eg bootcamps, internal academies, onboarding programmes). Exposure to Palantir product teams and a deep understanding of: Platform limitations and edge cases Common failure modes Practical workarounds and design patterns to avoid them Technical Skills Strong practical knowledge of core Foundry components: Pipeline Builder, Ontology, Workshop, Code Repositories, OSDK, Actions, AIP/agentic features. Proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language commonly used with Foundry (eg Python, Java, or similar) for transformations, services, and integrations. Solid background in data engineering concepts: batch/stream processing, data modelling, data quality, and governance. Experience integrating Foundry with enterprise identity (SSO, SAML/OIDC), APIs, and existing data platforms. Familiarity with modern software engineering practices: version control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (where applicable). Profile Deep technical but pragmatic: optimises for correctness, reliability and maintainability under real-world constraints. Systems thinker: able to model complex domains and understand end-to-end data and control flows. Clear communicator: can move seamlessly between low-level detail and high-level architecture with different audiences. Enjoys debugging hard problems, documenting patterns, and building repeatable, reusable solutions. Staffworx are a UK based Talent & Recruiting Partner, supporting Digital Commerce, Software and Value Add Consulting sectors across the UK & EMEA.
