Title - Palantir Developer
Location-hybrid in Melbourne, FL
Duration Contract
Program Overview
Client is executing a large-scale enterprise transformation built on Palantir Foundry, centered on the Unified Data Layer (UDL) platform. The platform consolidates data from hundreds of disparate source systems (including 30+ ERPs and operational databases) to deliver authoritative program performance visibility across schedule, cost, earned value, financial, material, and operational data.
Client requires a temporary surge of qualified Palantir Foundry developers to supplement internal capacity. These resources will join active delivery teams working across three priority financial workstreams: manufacturing operations dashboards for Mission Systems, executive dashboards across three segments, and overhead rate management and quality of service metrics.
The environment is business-led, executive-facing, and highly iterative. Requirements evolve rapidly as business leaders shape direction.
Responsibilities
