About the Role (Job Purpose) |
|
We’re looking for a Data Engineer to help design, build, and operate the data foundations that underpin Nscale’s platform, internal operations, and customer-facing capabilities. This is a high-impact, early-stage role. You’ll work closely with Operations, Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, Product, and Commercial teams to turn raw operational signals — from GPUs, clusters, customers, and internal systems — into reliable, scalable data products that ensure delivery at a previously unseen pace. You’ll help define how data is collected, modelled, served, and trusted across the company, and have the opportunity to build on Palantir Foundry, as well as other products. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building data systems from first principles, thrives in ambiguous environments, and wants to see their work directly influence product decisions, platform reliability, and customer outcomes. |
