Palantir Technologies, founded in 2003, develops software platforms designed to enable AI-driven decision-making for large-scale government and commercial organisations. The company operates globally and works across sectors including defence, intelligence, pharmaceuticals, supply chain, and law enforcement.
Its two principal products are Gotham, a platform for government customers to integrate disparate data sources, conduct analyses, and build operational tools; and Foundry, which serves commercial enterprises by enabling data transformation, analysis, and machine-learning-powered resource allocation. Both platforms are designed to handle complex, high-stakes operational environments.
Engineering work at Palantir spans artificial intelligence, machine learning, data integration, and operational software development. The company describes its teams as mission-driven, focused on building software that addresses problems with real-world consequences - from drug development pipelines to locating missing children.
