Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Damco Solutions is a global IT services and digital transformation company expanding its enterprise AI platform practice. The Senior Forward Deployed AI Engineer will lead Palantir Foundry and AIP engagements, designing ontologies, building data pipelines and production AI agents, developing operational applications, and advising clients through deployment and adoption.
Responsibilities
- Embed with enterprise clients as the technical lead on Palantir Foundry/AIP engagements — from discovery through production
- Design and build the Ontology: objects, properties, links, and actions that model the client's business
- Build data pipelines and transformations (Pipeline Builder, code repositories) that feed the ontology from messy, real-world source systems
- Develop production AI agents and LLM-powered functions using AIP Logic, AIP Agent/Chatbot Studio, and Automate, with human-in-the-loop controls
- Build operational applications in Workshop and via the Ontology SDK (Python / TypeScript / Java)
- Own the last mile that most vendors skip: evaluation, governance, security/permissions, and user adoption
- Act as trusted technical advisor to client stakeholders, and mentor Damco delivery engineers to scale the practice behind you
Skills
- 5+ years in data engineering, software engineering, or AI/ML engineering overall
- 2+ years hands-on with Palantir Foundry and/or AIP in a delivery or production setting (we weight depth of real deployments over years)
- Strong Python and SQL; comfort with PySpark and at least one of TypeScript/Java
- Proven experience building and operationalizing data pipelines and ETL/ELT against complex enterprise sources (ERP, claims, core banking, manufacturing/IoT, etc.)
- Practical experience with LLMs and agentic AI — prompt/agent design, tool use, retrieval, evaluation, and the guardrails that make agents safe in production
- Excellent client-facing communication — you can lead a technical conversation with a CIO and a data engineer in the same meeting
- Willingness to travel to client sites as engagements require
- Palantir certification (Foundry Data Engineer, Application Developer, AI Engineer, or Solution Architect)
- Prior Forward Deployed Engineer experience (at Palantir or a Palantir delivery partner)
- Domain depth in insurance, healthcare, financial services, or manufacturing
- Experience with adjacent platforms (Databricks/Mosaic AI, Microsoft Fabric + Azure AI Foundry) — we're platform-agnostic and value engineers who can meet a client on the stack they already run
- Experience mentoring or leading small delivery teams
Benefits
- US-based remote work arrangement
- Support for Palantir certification and continuous platform training
- Direct access to senior enterprise stakeholders and marquee accounts
- A path to help shape and lead the practice as it scales
