Middle Machine Learning Engineer (#4721)

We are looking for a Middle Machine Learning Engineer to develop and enhance AI-driven solutions within the Palantir Foundry and AIP ecosystem.

In this role, you will focus on building and iterating on machine learning and LLM-based solutions, integrating them into Foundry workflows to support analytics, automation, and decision-making. You will collaborate closely with data engineers, business analysts, and domain experts to deliver practical, production-ready AI solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and enhance machine learning and AI models to support predictive analytics, classification, forecasting, and AI-assisted workflows.
• Build AI and ML solutions within Palantir Foundry, using Python and existing Foundry pipelines, Ontology objects, and workflows.
• Apply LLMs and NLP techniques (e.g. prompt engineering, fine-tuning, embeddings, retrieval-augmented workflows) using Palantir AIP for enterprise use cases.
• Collaborate with data engineers to understand data sources, ensure data quality, and prepare datasets for model training and inference.
• Conduct experiments, evaluate model performance, and iterate on features and model approaches.
• Integrate AI models into Foundry workflows to surface insights and support business processes.
• Support model deployment and monitoring by following established team standards and best practices.
• Work closely with business and domain stakeholders to translate requirements into practical AI-driven solutions.
• Document model behavior, assumptions, and limitations to support transparency and compliance.
• Stay up to date with applied AI and GenAI trends and contribute ideas under guidance from senior team members.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in machine learning, AI engineering, or applied data science.
• Strong Python skills; experience with ML libraries such as scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, NLP, or GenAI use cases (e.g. prompt design, embeddings, text classification, summarization).
• Practical understanding of the ML lifecycle: data preparation, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and iteration.
• Experience working with structured data (tabular, time series); exposure to text or unstructured data is a plus.
• Familiarity with enterprise data environments and collaborative development workflows.
• Ability to clearly explain model results and AI 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).
