About this role

Senior Product Engineer, Data is a full-time role based in Costa Mesa, California, that suits an experienced software professional interested in building internal data-driven products. This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys solving messy operational challenges by developing end-to-end applications on top of a unified data model.

Role Overview

The Analytics team models internal data into reusable entities that form a digital twin of operations. As a Product Engineer on the Data team, the employee builds internal applications that finance, supply chain, manufacturing, people, and sustainment teams use to run the business. The individual owns products from inception to completion, which includes talking to users, designing underlying data structures, shipping user interfaces, and measuring operational impact.

Key Responsibilities

Own products from 0 to 1 by finding high-leverage problems, scoping, prototyping, releasing to users, and iterating until adoption is achieved.
Treat operators as customers by spending time with them, learning their domain, and turning actual needs into software.
Build across the stack including data models, backend logic, user interfaces, optimization models, forecasting engines, and LLM-powered workflows.
Build on the ontology and extend the unified data model, pushing changes back when gaps appear.
Ship fast and measure impact through small releases and tight feedback loops.
Make product calls regarding scope, priorities, minimum viable quality, and discontinuation of ideas.
Raise the bar for the team by demonstrating the potential of data models turned into products.

Requirements

Four or more years of experience building software or data products as a Product Engineer, Software Engineer, Data or Analytics Engineer, or technical consultant with a strong engineering background.
A proven track record of shipping products from 0 to 1 that people actively used.
Strong product sense to differentiate real problems from stated ones and make trade-offs between scope, speed, and quality.
Strong data modeling fundamentals to design generalizing entities and explain trade-offs.
Solid programming skills in Python and SQL with the ability to pick up new languages and frameworks.
Comfort working directly with users and non-technical stakeholders with clear communication skills.
Experience working with sensitive data and adhering to security protocols.
Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Nice to Have

Frontend development experience with React and TypeScript or end-to-end internal tools development.
Background in optimization, operations research, or simulation such as linear or integer programming, scheduling, routing, or inventory.
Applied machine learning or LLM-powered application development experience.
Experience with Palantir Foundry including Workshop, Ontology, and OSDK, or similar operational data platforms.
Domain knowledge in manufacturing, supply chain, finance, or defense operations.
Early-stage startup experience or a history of wearing multiple engineering, product, and design hats.
A portfolio, GitHub repository, or side project demonstrating self-directed technical learning.
