We build software that empowers organizations to effectively integrate their data, decisions, and operations. Backed by Founders Fund.
About the role
Palantir's Offensive Security team probes our own products, infrastructure, and cloud environment the way a real attacker would. As an Offensive Security Engineer, you will test internal applications and infrastructure, chain findings into realistic attack paths, and work directly with the engineers responsible for the affected systems to get issues closed.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of professional experience in offensive security, penetration testing, red teaming, or a closely related field
- Willingness and eligibility to obtain a U.S. security clearance preferred
- Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (e.g. Python, Go) sufficient to build and adapt your own testing tooling
- Demonstrated experience assessing the security of cloud (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerized (Docker, Kubernetes) environments
- Excellent organizational instincts, with the ability to keep multiple streams of work moving in parallel and to track each through to verified completion
- Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain a vulnerability, its impact, and its fix to the engineers who need to act on it

The Role

As an Offensive Security Engineer, you will test internal applications and infrastructure, chain findings into realistic attack paths, and work directly with the engineers responsible for the affected systems to get issues closed.
A growing part of the team’s work is also developing agentic offensive security tooling: LLM-driven systems that encode operator tradecraft and apply it continuously. You will help in the design of that tooling and prove it out on live assessments.
You will also help to coordinate third-party penetration testing engagements, scoping the work with specialized external firms, keeping assessments focused on the risks that matter, and turning their results into concrete remediation.
