💥 Are you passionate about leveraging data and AI to solve real-world problems? Sibyl is offering an exciting job opportunity for aspiring Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to join our team in Paris. Specializing in deploying Palantir’s platforms, Foundry and AIP, we aim to deliver impactful solutions across various industries.

Sibyl - Impact driven & Bias to action

Sibyl aims to build first-class professional services with end-to-end support for the main commercial platforms developed by Palantir - Foundry and AIP.

With our extensive 10+ years of expertise in deploying boots-on-the-ground with customers, we’re keen to rely on a trusted partnership with Palantir to spearhead impactful deployments. From supporting customer Excellence centers with guidance, to spearheading scoping for novel use cases, or even balancing cost-to-opportunity analysis for GenAI use cases, our offers center on impact.

Palantir - 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, Palantir’s platforms empower their partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more. This is where Sibyl comes in - we help delivering these impactful workflows, in a variety of settings and formats. From direct hand-in-hand customer interaction, to supporting and guiding the Data Operations in making the right decisions.

What The Role is About

At its core, FDE is fundamentally an engineering role but with a crucial twist. Unlike traditional software engineers, FDEs bring their advanced technical expertise directly to the frontlines, working closely with clients.

FDEs focus on technical execution, developing software, building data pipelines, integrating systems and ensuring everything works reliably at scale. They’re the hands-on engineers making things happen.

You’ll immerse yourself in our customers’ most intricate workflows. You’ll partner with customer teams and explore the data, and plunge into the product landscape to enable us to scale.

Additionally, we’re really excited about building products on top of Palantir’s software. We have our very own Palantir Foundry & AIP stack and the ability to develop impactful products. Come with an idea and a PMF, and we’re happy to collaborate on bringing this reality to life and into customers’ hands.

No two days are the same, but you can expect to:

• Go onsite and meet with experts ranging from data scientists to machinery specialists to understand the critical questions they need to answer and locate their biggest problems

• Identify relevant datasets through deep engagement with customer problems and workflows

• Integrate the data into a stable and extensible pipeline

• Work with the customer to build customized workflows for new user groups

• Lead training sessions to ensure that the product is meeting user needs and having concrete impact on their operations

• Present the results of our work and proposals for future work to audiences ranging from analysts to C-suite executives

• Build and deliver demos to new and existing customers

• Scope out potential engagements in new industries and expanding locations around the world

What We Value

• Team members who aren’t satisfied with surface-level answers and will dive into the details of the data

• Low ego because the outcome matters more than who gets the credit

• Extraordinary ability to confront open-ended problems in unstructured environments

• Adaptive and introspective; willing to learn, guide, lead and follow

What We Require

• Software development (Python, Pandas etc.) - MANDATORY

• Big Data engineering, infrastructure management, and system integration experiences

• Defining custom software solutions tailored specifically to the client needs

• Paris-based (Ability to travel 25 – 75%)

• [Optional-Bonus] Previous experience with Palantir

• [Optional-Bonus] French Fluency

Here’s a refined version of the Preferred Experience section that better targets the FDE profile you’re hiring for:

Preferred Experience

We operate at the intersection of consulting and startup. Previous experience in either is greatly appreciated. We ask for a minimum of 2 years of professional experience, but this is not a strict requirement: it all depends on what you bring to the table.

• 1-4 years in management consulting, technical consulting, or professional services

• 1-2 years in a startup or scale-up environment, ideally in a technical or product-facing role

• Experience working directly with clients or end users to scope, build, and deliver technical solutions

• Comfort operating with ambiguity: incomplete specs, shifting priorities, and fast iteration cycles

• Bonus: exposure to data engineering, data platforms, or enterprise software deployments
