About the role
We are a team of former Principals, Product Heads and Developers from Palantir Technologies that raised several millions in San Francisco last year, are scaling quickly and can operate profitably after just 12 months.
66% of Palantir’s workforce are data engineers customers pay $1–2M/year for — because turning enterprise data into value is hard. We’ve done this for years. Now we’re building an agent that does it 10x faster. We need your help.
Role and what we mean by Founding Engineer (FE):
- (Early stage) The map is 80% fog. The path is not straight. You need to thrive in ambiguity.
- (End-to-end) Everyone does everything. Sales, design, product, customer success — you’ve touched most of these and want to own the full cycle.
- (Foundations) You’re laying the groundwork for the company and product, not just code.
You might be more Forward-Deployed (FD FE):
- Own customer outcomes. Identify gaps. Deliver value.
- Run workshops, work side-by-side with users. Where the agent falls short, you step in — connect data, run analysis, build workflows.
- Bring learnings back to the product: highlight friction, design better workflows, extend the agent’s abilities.
Or more Product-focused (Product FE):
- Build what makes customer work repeatable, scalable, efficient.
- Spot common pain. Prototype solutions. Ship. Validate with users. Kill solution if needed.
- Move the product from “zero” to “possible” to “automatic”.
What we look for
- You’re in Munich or can be — remote doesn’t cut it at this stage.
