Our team of instructors and engineers is enabling the next generation of Palantir experts. We help Palantir customers & partners build the in-house expertise they need to build AI-enabled solutions self-sufficiently. We are an official Palantir Partner and the sole Palantir Training & Assessment Partner.

We are seeking a senior full-time instructor to deliver live, recorded, and written content.

## WORK SUMMARY

- Creating and recording live content for YouTube and internal video offerings. We will rent and furnish a dedicated studio space for you to record professional quality tutorials.
- Building and enhancing existing technical Foundry curriculum.
- Delivering in-person and virtual live, multi-day Foundry trainings

## NATURE OF THE COMPANY

- Work intensely when you’re at work; don’t work when you’re not at work
- Turn Slack and email notifications off
- Take pride in your work
- Direct, candid, and respectful feedback
- We flex on scope, not deadlines à la Shape Up https://basecamp.com/shapeup and other writing from 37Signals/Basecamp
- We have small offices in California, Oklahoma, and New York (you will be the first person in a DC office)

## EXPERIENCE

- Requirements:
- You must love teaching! If you're on the fence about teaching, read no further.
- Strong technical skills: Python, TS/JS, using LLMs in data pipelines and applications, Spark, containerization, unit and integration testing, observability & monitoring
- In other words, at many companies you would fit in as a developer
- Be one of the following:
- Former Palantir FDE or technical data strategist (we're looking for a "Delta" or a very strong "Techo")
- Foundry user with 3+ years experience delivering 2-3 enterprise use cases
- 10+ years experience in a"data-driven" industry across business domains with experience delivering end-to-end technical solutions from use case design to technical implementation
- Nice to have:
- Full-stack development skills (e.g. an app powered by React + FastAPI + Postgres -- but we're not picky about the tech stack)
- Machine Learning experience
- Foreign language skills, especially Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish

## ADDITIONAL SKILLS

- Effective written and oral communication skills
- You write and speak clearly
- You can identify what matters for a non-technical user and succinctly explain what they need to know in terms that make sense to them
- e.g., an executive who needs to make a decision based on your input
- You proactively communicate about what you’re doing — this is habitual for you
- You can disagree and navigate conflict respectfully and in a manner that puts the team’s goals first
- High degree of autonomy (i.e., don’t wait for work to come to you)
- You're always learning new things. What was the last new technology you learned?

## TRAVEL

This role will require domestic and international travel for in-person trainings and periodic internal company events.

An in-person training typically lasts four days at the customer's office. This role is expected to cover in-person trainings primarily in the broader NYC area, but occasional travel may be required to other places.

Note: until we hire a DC-based instructor, we will need you to travel to DC 1-2x per month
