Role Summary & Mission

The Platform Engineer - Palantir is the technical owner of Acrisure’s Palantir

environment — the person ultimately accountable for the substrate that every

Palantir use case is built on. Where FD Partner, FD Delta, and FD Echo are

forward-facing roles deploying value to business units, this role is the

internal-facing counterpart: the operator, architect, and component curator who

defines what the entire Program can build on, how it builds, and how efficiently

it builds.

This role is intentionally designed as both senior and hands-on. The Platform

Engineer sets the strategy for ingress and egress, marking and permissions

architecture, environment topology, compute and storage cost optimization,

release governance, and the reusable component catalog — and then implements

that strategy hands-on inside the platform. The person in this seat must be the

most technically credible voice in the room on Palantir platform mechanics,

while also presenting cost-to-value, capacity, and reusability tradeoffs to the

CTO and executive sponsors. Credibility in this role is earned through doing,

not delegating.

This is a primarily internal-facing role. Travel is minimal — typically less

than 10% (1-2 nights/month) on average, primarily for Palantir partner

engagement, working sessions, and occasional business unit deployments.

Key Responsibilities

• Hands-On Platform Operations
• * Actively configure and operate Palantir tenant settings across the platform
• stack — Projects, Groups, Markings, Roles, Resource Queues, Compute, and
• product-level controls — making changes directly in the platform rather than
• routing them to engineers.
• * Design and implement the ingress strategy: source system connections,
• connectors, schema management, and standards for incremental, batch, and
• streaming data flows.
• * Design and implement the egress strategy: Marketplace exports, OSDK and
• external API exposure, file/data export controls, and downstream consumption
• boundaries.
• * Own the permissions architecture across the platform — marking taxonomy,
• group hierarchy, role assignments, and least-privilege standards — and
• personally maintain the most sensitive configurations.
• * Personally triage and resolve platform admin issues — permissions,
• provisioning, ingress/egress configuration, and resource queue contention —
• rather than routing them to Platform Engineers or Palantir support.
• * Be a go-to resource for external teams leveraging the Palantir Platform and
• escalating questions and issues for resolution.
• Componentization & Reusability
• * Drive the platform-wide reusable component catalog — pipeline templates,
• Ontology patterns, Workshop building blocks, OSDK modules, Marketplace
• products, reusable agents, and shared utilities — covering both
• platform-management and business-facing use cases.
• * Establish standards for what gets componentized, how components are versioned
• and documented, and how they are discovered and consumed by FD Delta, FD
• Echo, and the broader Platform.
• * Partner with FD Delta and FD Echo to extract reusable patterns from delivered
• use cases, promote them into the catalog, and consolidate duplication across
• the portfolio.
• * Maintain a library of platform-management components — provisioning
• workflows, permissions templates, audit reports, cost dashboards — that the
• Platform Engineering team uses to operate the environment efficiently.
• Cost & Resource Optimization
• * Own end-to-end FinOps for the Palantir environment — usage forecasting,
• compute optimization, build schedule efficiency, storage tiering, and
• licensing utilization across all platform tools.
• * Establish resource quotas, project allocation models, and guardrails across
• the Platform portfolio to prevent runaway cost while enabling delivery
• velocity.
• * Identify and remediate cost anomalies in real time; partner with Finance on
• chargeback, showback, and capacity-based budgeting models.
• * Present cost-to-value tradeoffs, capacity decisions, and reusability ROI to
• the CTO and executive sponsors with supporting data, framed in business
• terms.
• Governance, Standards & Team Leadership
• * Establish and enforce platform governance standards: branching strategy,
• environment promotion (dev/staging/prod), release approvals, and change
• management — and define the SLAs for platform admin services that the
• Platform Engineering team commits to.
• * Drive the Palantir platform security posture in partnership with InfoSec and
• Data team — marking taxonomy, audit logging, sensitive data handling, and
• compliance support (SOC 2, NYDFS, GDPR, and other applicable regimes).
• * Maintain platform standards documentation and ensure adherence across FD
• Delta, FD Echo, Platform Engineering, and Palantir FD Team contributions.
• * Support the Platform Engineering team: contributing to mentorship, technical
• direction, and standards setting.
• * Support escalation triage for platform constraints raised by FD Partner, FD
• Delta, and FD Echo — and contribute technical input on platform-vs-delivery
• tradeoffs.
• * Coordinate directly with Palantir on platform upgrades, feature rollouts, and
• capability roadmap alignment.
• Required Skills & Competencies
• Palantir Platform Proficiency (Required — Not Optional)
• * Deep hands-on expertise with Palantir tenant administration across the
• platform stack: Projects, Groups, Markings, Roles, Resource Management,
• Compute Modules, and audit/observability tooling.
• * Hands-on experience with ingress patterns — connectors, agent-based
• ingestion, source system integration, and pipeline scheduling at enterprise
• scale.
• * Hands-on experience with egress controls — Marketplace, OSDK external
• endpoints, data export governance, and external-facing API exposure.
• * Working proficiency across the Palantir product surface — Foundry (Pipeline
• Builder, Code Repositories, Ontology, Workshop, OSDK), AIP (Agent Studio,
• Logic, Evals), and adjacent products (Marketplace, Quiver) — sufficient to
• administer, govern, and componentize each.
• * Strong Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, and SQL skills — the Platform Engineer
• writes platform tooling, automation, reusable components, and remediation
• code, not just reviews it.
• Componentization & Standards
• * Demonstrated experience building and maintaining shared component libraries,
• internal developer platforms, or reusable pattern catalogs.
• * Strong API design and abstraction instincts — knows when something is ready
• to be a reusable component versus a one-off implementation.
• * Documentation and developer-experience sensibility — components only deliver
• value if they get discovered, understood, and adopted.
• Platform Operations & FinOps
• * Demonstrated experience operating an enterprise data platform at scale
• (Foundry, Snowflake, Databricks, or equivalent).
• * Strong FinOps fundamentals — usage forecasting, compute and storage cost
• optimization, chargeback model design, and capacity planning.
• * Experience with release management, CI/CD pipelines, and environment
• promotion strategies.
• Governance & Security
• * Working knowledge of enterprise security and access control patterns: RBAC,
• ABAC, attribute-based markings, least privilege, identity federation, and
• SSO.
• * Experience supporting compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, NYDFS, GDPR,
• HIPAA, or similar regulated environments.
• * Demonstrated comfort partnering with InfoSec, Internal Audit, and Enterprise
• Architecture peers — translating platform mechanics into language those
• audiences require.
• Leadership & Communication
• * Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a senior technical team —
• contributing to direction and standards while executing hands-on.
• * Ability to present platform cost, capacity, reusability, and risk tradeoffs
• to a CTO/CIO-level audience and to translate technical decisions into
• business outcomes.
• * Strong written communication skills — able to author governance documents,
• RFCs, architecture decision records, component specifications, and platform
• standards.
• Experience
• * 5–10+ years of experience operating, architecting, and administering
• enterprise platforms.
• * Prior Palantir Foundry administration experience strongly preferred;
• experienced platform leads from Snowflake, Databricks, or AWS/Azure-native
• enterprise data stacks are encouraged to apply.
• * Prior experience in insurance, financial services, or similarly regulated
• industries is a strong plus.
• * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related
• technical field.
• * Optional: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Finance, or related
• business field.
