## The job description from PVM

Posted by PVM on Aug 13, 2026

### Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)

**Remote:** Fully remote – MUST live in or near Atlanta, GA

**Reports to:** Echo / Deployment Strategist

**Direct reports:** None.

**Travel:** 0% (fully remote) - May require onsite visit to CDC as needed

### The Role

The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) serves as a hands-on member of the technical team supporting the implementation of a data-driven operational intelligence platform built on Palantir Foundry and AIP. Working under the direction of an Echo/Deployment Strategist, you will help deliver a phased minimum viable product (MVP) that supports mission-critical decision-making for a federal government client.

FDEs execute assigned implementation tasks within established architecture and sprint plans, raise issues and blockers to their Deployment Strategist, and help ensure sprint deliverables meet operational standards.

### Key Responsibilities

- Support development of a data ontology and foundation that will underpin future predictive modeling capabilities

- Contribute to a Workshop-based application (interactive scenario builder or operations dashboard with real-time insights) using Foundry’s Workshop/Slate application layer

- Build and support natural-language querying capability over structured data, covering key business dimensions such as time, cost, quality, and context

- Support ingestion of policy and reference documents into Foundry as searchable content

- Implement rules-based logic and reusable business definitions anchored to the platform Ontology

- Participate in agile sprint cycles, including planning, standups, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and backlog grooming

- Demonstrate working capabilities to government stakeholders

- Coordinate with client stakeholders and platform project managers as directed by the Deployment Strategist

- Deliver clear technical documentation and configuration notes to support handoff and future roadmap phases

- Provide defect resolution, troubleshooting, and incremental improvements

- Support bi-weekly progress reports and sprint status updates alongside the Deployment Strategist

### Preferred Qualifications (Mid-Level Engineer)

- Familiarity with Palantir Foundry, including pipelines, Workshop/Slate, and Ontology configuration

- 3-5 years of software engineering, data engineering, or systems integration experience

- Exposure to regulated or compliance-driven data domains is a plus

- Experience with Python, TypeScript, or Java in a data platform or analytics environment

- Familiarity with data governance practices in federal or public-sector data environments

- Comfortable working with moderate independence across the build, test, and deployment lifecycle, escalating complex architecture decisions to senior engineering staff
