Palantir Technologies, founded in 2003, develops software platforms that enable AI-driven decision-making across government and commercial sectors. The company's core work centres on helping organisations integrate disparate data sources securely and build applications that support critical operational functions. Its technical focus spans artificial intelligence, machine learning, data integration, and operational software systems.
The company operates two primary platforms. Gotham serves government and intelligence community customers, providing tools for data integration, analysis, and resource allocation powered by machine learning. Foundry offers similar capabilities tailored for commercial enterprises, supporting use cases in life sciences, drug development, supply chain logistics, and public safety.
Palantir's work sits at the intersection of deep technical challenges and high-stakes applications. Engineering teams are organised around mission-driven objectives, building software intended to support core operations in contexts where the consequences of decisions are significant. The company's industry verticals range from defence and intelligence to healthcare and industrial logistics.
