•ETL/DW: Proven experience in traditional ETL/ELT, Data Lake management, and Data Warehousing principles.
Duties and Responsibilities:
1. Architecture & Ontology Design
•Data Modeling: Architect the Retail Ontology (Objects, Links, Actions) to support complex use cases like supply chain visibility, omni-channel inventory, and 360-degree customer views.
•NFR Management: Guarantee platform excellence regarding Performance, Scalability, and Security. Optimize Spark/Python jobs to handle peak retail loads (e.g., Black Friday).
•System Integration: Design seamless data flows between Data Lakes (S3/ADLS/GCS), Data Warehouses (Snowflake/BigQuery), and Foundry.
2.Migration, Test & Cutover Strategy
•Migration Specialist: Lead the migration of legacy datasets into Foundry, ensuring data lineage, integrity, and historical accuracy.
•Test Strategy: Define and execute a comprehensive testing framework, including Unit Testing in Code Repos, Integration Testing for pipelines, and UAT for Workshop/Slate applications.
•Cutover Strategy: Develop and lead the execution of "Go-Live" plans, including shadow runs, data reconciliation, and legacy system decommissioning with zero business downtime.
3.AIP & AI Implementation (Mandatory)
•AIP Mastery: Deep hands-on experience with Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP).
•LLM Orchestration: Deploy Large Language Models to automate retail workflows, such as intelligent replenishment, automated customer sentiment synthesis, and natural language querying of the Ontology.
4.Production Support & DevOps
•Tier 3 Support: Provide expert-level troubleshooting for production pipelines and operational applications.
•DevOps Excellence: Manage version control via Git, automate deployments within Foundry’s native CI/CD, and utilize Linux OS environments and external IDEs (VS Code/IntelliJ) where necessary.
Qualifications & Certifications (Optional):
•Experience: Minimum of 5 years of dedicated, hands-on Palantir Foundry experience. Candidates without this specific longevity in Foundry will not be considered.
•Education: B.S./M.S. in Computer Science or a related technical field.
