The core Palantir Foundry requirement is stated as an OR gate: '1+ years of experience with Palantir Foundry, OR 1+ years of experience building workflow applications on low-code/no-code platforms, OR 1+ years of data engineering experience on large data platforms such as Databricks.' These are treated as a single hard-gated capability with Palantir Foundry as the primary name and Databricks as the named alternative; no specific low-code/no-code platform is named.
Palantir Vantage appears only under Preferred qualifications, as does experience integrating disparate enterprise data sources and government consulting experience.
No work location is specified in the posting beyond US-based travel requirements (10–15%). The role is tied to a client project under Deloitte's Project Delivery Talent Model.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role is primarily data pipeline/ontology/ETL work (15-1243 Database Architects) but has meaningful application-building and workflow automation elements that could support 15-1252 Software Developers.
