Senior AI/ML Engineer.

We are looking for a Senior AI/ML Engineer to design, develop, and enhance AI-driven solutions within the Palantir Foundry and AIP ecosystem.

In this role, you will take ownership of developing production-ready machine learning and LLM-based solutions, from understanding business needs and exploring data to designing technical approaches, implementing solutions, and integrating them into Foundry workflows. You will work closely with data engineers, business analysts, and domain experts, contribute to technical decisions, and help establish best practices for building scalable and reliable AI solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop AI/ML solutions for predictive analytics, classification, forecasting, automation, and AI-assisted workflows within Palantir Foundry, leveraging Python, Ontology objects, pipelines, and workflows.
• Design, implement, evaluate, and optimize LLM/NLP and RAG solutions using Palantir AIP, including prompt engineering, embeddings, retrieval strategies, vector search, and text processing.
• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of AI solutions, from experimentation and model development to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with data engineers to understand data sources, ensure data quality, and design efficient and scalable data processing approaches.
• Integrate AI solutions into production workflows and optimize them for accuracy, reliability, latency, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
• Contribute to technical architecture and design decisions, including model, framework, and tool selection; proactively identify technical risks, improvement opportunities and proactively propose solutions.
• Work with business and domain stakeholders to translate business needs into practical, scalable, and production-ready AI solutions, clearly communicating technical decisions and model limitations.
• Identify technical risks, limitations, and opportunities for improvement and proactively propose solutions.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in machine learning, AI engineering, applied data science, or related fields.
• Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with ML frameworks such as scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
• Strong practical experience with LLMs, NLP, or GenAI applications, including prompt engineering, embeddings, text processing, summarization, or similar use cases.
• Solid hands-on experience designing and implementing RAG architectures, vector databases, and retrieval strategies.
• Strong understanding of the ML lifecycle, including data preparation, feature engineering, model development, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Experience working with both structured and unstructured data, including tabular data, time series, text, and documents.
• Ability to independently analyze ambiguous problems, propose technical approaches, and drive solutions from concept to implementation.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain AI concepts, technical decisions, and model behavior to non-technical stakeholders.
• Upper-Intermediate English or higher.

Nice to Have:

• Proficiency in Foundry Ontology, Object Builders, and Code Repositories.
• Experience in big pharma or highly regulated industries.
• Knowledge of data privacy, compliance, and security best practices in AI applications.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
