About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You’ll work on product teams with minimal supervision and own end-to-end execution of real product features. You will work with fellow Designers, Product Managers, Developers, and Forward Deployed Engineers to refine and evolve the quality of Palantir products.
Interaction and visual design. As a product designer, you'll be involved at every stage of design work. You'll help define early product concepts, flesh out the high-level workflow and micro-interactions of a feature, and execute on a crisp and effective visual design. You should have experience designing and prototyping using tools such as Figma.
User research. We frequently do informal user research, and value people who can be flexible with research processes and methodologies to achieve the right outcome. You'll often visit customer offices to interview and learn from the users we serve. You'll pair qualitative methods (e.g. scripted usability tests and contextual inquiry) with quantitative information, like product and usage metrics.
Deliver and communicate designs in close collaboration. We work closely with product and forward deployed engineers to realize our design ideas. You'll treat engineers and product managers as partners and collaborate with them to prototype and build out products.
Awareness of how software interfaces are built. Familiarity with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Typescript is appreciated. You don't need to be an expert—just fluent enough to collaborate with engineers, and know what's possible with frontend technologies.
