Product Reliability Engineers are part of Palantir’s Product Support Organization. As experts in the architecture, tooling and operations of Palantir’s platforms, we ensure that Palantir’s mission-critical products are available to our customers 24/7/365. We provide direct developer and user support to Palantir engineers and customers as they scope, deploy, manage, and extend our platforms to solve challenging data problems.
When something goes wrong, we are the first to respond. We know what to do — and if we don't, we figure it out. As a Product Reliability Engineer, you’ll need to be resourceful, analytical, and agile. Every day is different as Palantir’s products, and our customer’s problems, are constantly evolving. Collaboration — with customers, developers, and business teams — is essential to resolving the most difficult and nebulous technical issues. You'll apply creativity and deep technical knowledge to convert what you know, and what you learn, into a better software product.
To maintain our agility, when you’re not focused on the product, you’ll build and maintain the infrastructure critical to connecting those with questions or problems with those who should help. Working closely with our engineering and business teams, you will help with the deployment lifecycle of our products. This might include ensuring that product health is monitored through metrics, building and tuning automated alerts to proactively identify product issues, and developing and documenting strategies for responding to incidents.
Whatever the technical issue or question about Palantir’s products, you’ll play a critical and central role in resolving it — seeking not just a one-time fix, but a permanent solution. Product Reliability Engineers go beyond the root cause analysis to ensure that known issues are proactively mitigated across all systems.
Core Responsibilities
Become a Palantir Product Expert.
Collaborate with the Forward Deployed Engineering and Product teams in the development and design of creative and reliable solutions for our customers.
Diagnose and resolve issues encountered in the field.
Provide education and guidance on configuring and working with Palantir products to prevent issues before they occur.
Contribute to the end-to-end quality of the product by verifying fixes and advocating for improvements.
Coordinate and manage customer contact for critical product issues.
Take part in a 24/7 on-call rotation to address mission-critical incidents.
What We Value
Awesome problem solving skills and ability to break down complex concepts.
Excellent analytical skills and attention to detail.
Comfortable working in a fast moving environment with dynamic objectives.
Ability to think creatively and define product and customer needs.
Ability to work independently and make decisions under minimal supervision.
Excellent teamwork and written/verbal communication skills.
Experience coding with Java and/or web technologies a plus (e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python/Ruby, Django/Flask/Ruby on Rails, etc.).
Experience with distributed computing systems and/or cloud infrastructures a plus (e.g. Spark, Hadoop, YARN, Kubernetes, AWS, etc.).
Willingness and interest to travel as needed.
Must be planning on graduating in 2020.
If you need assistance or an accommodation due to a disability, you may contact us at accommodations@palantir.com .

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is what you get when you treat operations as if it’s a software problem. Our mission is to progress, protect, and provide for the software and systems behind all of Google’s public services - Search, Ads, Gmail, Android, YouTube, and App Engine, to name just a few - with an ever-watchful eye on their availability, latency, performance, and capacity. This is an unusual job, unlike others in the industry. Like traditional operations groups, we keep important, revenue-critical systems up and running despite hurricanes, bandwidth outages, and configuration problems . Unlike traditional operations groups, we also have full access to and authority to fix, extend, and scale the code to keep it working and harden it against all the vagaries of the Internet. We hire people from both systems and software backgrounds. Strong candidates will have experience with both. Just as what we do is unique, where we do it is unique too. At Google, we have the good fortune to have developed many interesting systems ranging from planet-spanning databases to near real-time scalable data warehousing to fault-tolerant datastream joining . In SRE, we flip between the fine-grained detail of disk driver I/O scheduling to the big picture of continental-level service capacity, across a range of systems and a user population measured in billions. We own those products in production. We drive reliability and performance across massive scale by mastering the full depth of the stack. We literally do learn something new every day - usually surprising things - that have the potential to transform the lives of billions of our users around the world.
Create. Design. Code. Build.
We offer a range of internships across EMEA and durations and start dates vary according to project and location. Our recruitment team will determine where you fit best based on your resume.
Internships are offered in the following areas:
Software Engineering: Google's Software Engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another.

Your Mission
As a Software Engineering Intern you will be placed in one of our engineering teams and be mentored by some of our senior engineers. You will be developing large-scale, distributed systems which form parts of our real-time simulation platform.
Interns will be given a challenging project by our Head of Engineering which is best suited to their skills and interests.
Example projects include:
working with AAA game studios to build new gaming features into our simulation stack
integrating new engines with our distributed stack -- e.g. physics, navigation, raycasting
developing new algorithms to distribute and scale our simulations
developing tooling to understand and reason about large real-time simulations
low-level performance optimisation & efficiency improvements
researching new applications of our tech and developing proof of concepts in the government
Interns will also have the opportunity, if desired, to work with our award-winning team on a project that will showcase the disruptive power of our technology and will redefine how simulations are made.
Competencies
• An excellent academic record to date, ideally coupled with stand out extra-curricular activity and/or internships in a world-class software environment
• Excellent knowledge of multiple programming languages and paradigms (such as Java, C#, C++, Python, Go, Scala etc)
• Growing appreciation for productive software engineering including Testing, Tooling, IDE mastery etc
• Demonstrable interest and passion for development (e.g. personal projects, blogs, Open Source projects etc)
• Algorithmic and data structures knowledge
• An interest in gaming, simulation or distributed systems is, of course, advantageous
N.b. Our internships are always paid.
Equal Opportunity
The best ideas are often the least expected and require new ways of thinking; that’s why our teams at Improbable are made up of an incredible range of talented people. Improbable is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
