Job Description: A World-Changing Company

Palantir builds the world’s leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

The Role

We're looking for a multidisciplinary Concept Designer to join our Product Design team and be the visual storyteller for our latest defense product concepts. You will be responsible for rapidly producing mockups/imagery, short videos, and interactive prototypes that bring ideas, both nascent and developed, to life. This role lives at the nexus of product development, product marketing, and business development. Your output will be critical for sharing concepts with audiences internal and external to Palantir.

The mandate is broad: in this role, you'll create everything from user interface (UI) mockups for a customer meeting, to diagrams that explain our technology, to videos that debut a new product at a conference. Ideal candidates are master visual designers and also have UI/UX intuition and experience. You thrive on taking complex concepts and distilling them into straightforward, crisp stories.

A note about the distinction between Communications, Product, and Concept Design roles at Palantir:
• Communications Designers are responsible for upholding Palantir's brand standards. They are the visual storytellers for branding, marketing, presentations, and events.
• Product Designers define, design, and assist in building new user interfaces across our core platforms: Gotham, Foundry, Apollo, and AIP. They collaborate with Forward Deployed Engineers to gain context about end users and their unique workflows.
• Concept Designers are on the bleeding edge of new product. They imagine what new offerings could look like, whether additions to the core platforms, or something tailored to a potential customer.
