Requirements

About You

We are looking for an experienced Implementation Strategist with deep technical and operational expertise in Palantir Foundry to join our US team.

In this role, you will operate at the intersection of strategy, data engineering, and product ownership. You are not just implementing software; you are re-architecting how our clients make decisions. You will enter complex environments where data is siloed and workflows are broken, and you will be the primary catalyst for turning that chaos into a structured, value-generating engine.

You will act as the translator between business intent and technical execution. You will get your hands dirty in the Ontology and pipelines while simultaneously guiding C-level stakeholders through their digital transformation journey.

What You'll do

Drive Value with Foundry

Lead the end-to-end implementation of data-centric solutions using Palantir Foundry. You will architect Ontologies, design pipelines, and build user-facing applications (Workshop/Slate) that solve tangible business problems
Move beyond simple dashboards; build operational applications that allow users to write back to the system and close the feedback loop

Navigate Ambiguity

Embed yourself within client teams to identify the "unknown unknowns." You will deconstruct high-level business goals into concrete technical roadmaps
Take ownership of open-ended problems in unstructured environments. You define what "good" looks like when the client isn't sure yet

Bridge the Gap

Collaborate with Unit8 Data Scientists and Engineers to ensure the backend logic supports the frontend reality
Act as a trusted advisor to the client, challenging assumptions and ensuring that the technology we build is actually adopted by the end-users on the ground

Expand & Mentor

Help shape Unit8's US presence by contributing to business development, scoping new engagements, and demonstrating the power of Foundry to prospective clients
Mentor junior team members on best practices regarding data governance, system architecture, and client management

What You Bring

The Experience

Foundry Mastery: You have significant, hands-on experience delivering projects within Palantir Foundry. You are comfortable with the Ontology, Code Repositories, Pipeline Builder, and application building tools (Workshop/Slate)
Consulting & Strategy: 3+ years of experience in technical consulting, solution architecture, or a similar operational role where you owned the delivery of data products
Track Record: You can point to specific examples where you took a vague business problem and turned it into a deployed software solution that generated value

The Mindset

First-Principles Thinker: You don't just follow the process; you question it. You drill down to the root cause of a problem rather than patching symptoms
Grit and Humility: You are willing to do whatever it takes to make the project succeed, whether that's presenting a roadmap to a VP or debugging a failed build late at night. The outcome matters more to you than the title
User-Obsessed: You understand that the best code is useless if no one uses it. You prioritize user experience and workflow integration over technical complexity

The Essentials

Proficiency in Palantir Foundry & AIP
Experience with programming/scripting, such as Python and/or SQL
Understanding of distributed computing concepts (Spark) and modern data stack architectures
Willingness to travel to client sites across the US as needed to drive implementation success

Benefits

What we offer?

High-Stakes Work: You will work on critical projects that transform how major industries operate
A "Builder" Culture: We are not a slide-deck consultancy. We build things that work. You will be surrounded by engineers and data scientists who share your passion for execution
Pioneering role and autonomy: As a key member of our US growth, you will have the freedom to shape how we deliver value in this new market
Groundbreaking Opportunity: You will play a pivotal role in establishing Unit8's footprint in the USA, driving the growth and impact of our operations in this emerging market

In addition to base pay, total compensation includes an annual bonus based on individual and company performance. We also offer a 401(k) retirement plan and comprehensive health insurance. Final compensation will be determined based on the candidate's qualifications, experience, and skills
