The work: 

As Lead Solutions Architect, you'll architect a platform that combines statistical simulation, multi-agent AI systems, and optimization modeling to help a federal agency streamline resource-allocation decisions under uncertainty - weighing operational risk against capacity constraints to recommend the best course of action.  

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead technical architecture and design decisions across a multi-engine analytics platform (statistical simulation, AI/LLM-based modeling, and linear optimization).
  • Guide integration with AI infrastructure in a government cloud environment.
  • Partner with client stakeholders and subject matter experts to translate mission requirements into technical solutions.
  • Mentor and provide technical leadership to a cross-functional engineering team spanning mathematical simulation development, data engineering, and applied AI/ML within Palantir.
  • Own technical risk management across the platform lifecycle, including testing standards, security posture, and performance/scalability reviews.  

Here is what you need:

  • Must be a US Citizen
  • Must have an Active Secret clearance 
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Data Science, Statistics or related field (or equivalent practical experience - e.g., an additional 4 years of relevant hands-on experience in lieu of a degree). 
  • Experience integrating multiple computational or modeling approaches into a single product.
  • Experience with Python-based backend systems and cloud architecture.
  • Experience with linear/mathematical optimization (e.g., linear programming, constraint-based modeling).
  • Experience with multi-agent AI system design (e.g., AWS Bedrock or similar).
  • Experience with statistical simulation models (discrete event simulation, monte carlo, agent-based modeling, etc.)
  • Ability to work full time on-site in the DC area. 

Preferred experience:

  • Experience with Palantir Foundry and AIP.
  • Prior experience supporting federal health, defense, or public sector clients.
