We Are

The Accenture Palantir Business Group (APBG) is a global business group within Accenture that combines Accenture’s industry, data, and AI expertise with Palantir’s Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) to help organizations scale AI and transform decision‑making. Formed in 2025 as part of Accenture’s expanded strategic partnership with Palantir, APBG serves as a center of excellence delivering Palantir‑enabled solutions across industries such as government, healthcare, energy, financial services, and manufacturing. The group accelerates enterprise reinvention by integrating consulting, engineering, and global delivery capabilities to move clients from siloed data to integrated, AI‑driven decision intelligence.

You Are:

As a Forward Deployed Engineer, you will be responsible for helping our clients solve their most pressing challenges, from the battlefield to supply chains, benefits programs, and broader government operations. You will work as part of a small team of engineers, domain experts, and other Deployment Strategists to turn a client’s vision into reality by deploying Palantir software and building tailored solutions that make a measurable impact on their operations.

Responsibilities:

• Work with cross-functional teams: Partner with engineers, program managers, and domain specialists to design, build, and support client-facing applications.
• Translate objectives into a delivery plan: Gather requirements, analyze data and workflows, and define a roadmap from prototype to scaled deployment.
• Prototype and iterate quickly: Build from scratch when needed, validate with users, and iterate rapidly based on feedback and operational results.
• Deliver production-grade solutions: Ship reliable pipelines and applications that turn client data into operational workflows and decision support.
• Align and communicate: Write clear requirements, share progress with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and drive work to release.

What We Look For:

• Client success mindset: Own the outcome, go beyond the stated scope when needed, and consistently deliver value for the customer.
• Structured problem solving: Break down ambiguous problems, identify constraints, and design end-to-end solutions.
• Software + data engineering fundamentals: Write production code (e.g., Python, TypeScript) and build applications on large structured and unstructured datasets.
• Bias for ownership: Work independently, drive decisions, and be accountable for results.
• Track record of delivery: Ship software/analytics that produces measurable, real-world outcomes.
• Collaboration and client-facing communication: Work effectively with teammates and clients across technical levels; embed with customer teams when required.

In this role, you will iterate quickly, build from scratch, and help organizations transform their operations at uncommon speed. You will not just be deploying software; you will help reshape how entire organizations function by providing powerful tools to those who can drive change.

• Minimum of 8 years experience in Python OR PySpark OR Java
• Minimum 5 years leading an engineering team
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 8 years work experience

  • Present updates, trade offs, and recommendations to executives; tailor the message to the audience

Bonus points if you have:

• Full-stack and Front-end development experience
• Palantir certifications (Foundry, Gotham, or AIP)
• Consulting or client-facing experience
• Experience with DevOps / CI-CD pipelines (Git, GitHub/GitLab, Jenkins)
