My company is hiring Software Engineers and QA Engineers, send me your resume!

Hey all,

My workplace is hiring a lot of software and QA engineers. Maybe some of you new grads would like to move out to Palo Alto, Ca, or some experienced folks are looking for something new! If you're in the area, we can arrange for you to visit.

The company is called Palantir Technologies - www.palantirtech.com. We're a startup company. We make large data sets manageable, and currently are in the business of empowering Wall Street and the government to view the world in different ways.

We're looking for the best and brightest, so if you're interested, hit me up via PM.

There's no incentive for me to get you guys in, except that it stops HR from sending all of us "we're hiring emails", haha. If this is against the rules, sorry in advance.

-Tim

Yea, we require most of our guys to have a lot of technical computer experience. You might not be programming, but you have to be able to read code, and write small bits for yourself.

We're also looking for a lot of financial tech saavy individuals.

I'm on the business dev support team. A more customer facing role. Company itself is very well funded. One of the founders is Peter Thiel, who co founded paypal, so we aren't hurting for money at all.

Its pretty cool that you're offering this to people here. I would love to see this more often. I would jump on this if it was possible.

The most I can say about the product is that it helps you intuitively analyze large data sets. If you watch shows like 24, our software would be used by the analysts (Government software). Presumeably, the government has information on us all. Where you live, who you've called, etc. With our software, you could easily find out if you've been in contact w/ a terrorist or know someone who does.

Currently, the finance application is still a very secretive application. You can email inquiries@palantirtech.com to be put on a notification list when they are ready to publicize it.
