pstrongThe opportunity /strong /ppA fast-growing AI deployment business, headquartered in Milan, is hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to sit at the front of client delivery.
/ppbr/ppThe model is deliberately unlike the large consultancies.
Small, exceptional teams sell a transformation, run the discovery and bootcamp phase, then stay to build and deploy end to end on the platform.
/ppbr/ppClients are traditional European businesses, at the point where they're serious about AI and data but need someone who can operate credibly in both the boardroom and the codebase.
Alongside the core Palantir practice sits a second pillar applying the same methodology on non-Palantir stacks for smaller companies.
/ppbr/ppThe team is growing quickly and the people joining now will define how delivery works as it scales.
/ppbr/ppstrongThis is a Milan-based role and the expectation is a full relocation.
/strong For the right person that's the appeal rather than the obstacle: you'll be in the room with the founders and with clients from day one.
/ppbr/ppstrongWhat you'll be doing /strong /pulliWorking directly with client stakeholders, from discovery and bootcamp through to production delivery.
/liliBuilding data pipelines, ontologies and operational applications end to end.
You own the problem, not a ticket.
/liliTranslating messy operational reality into working software, often with no specification to start from.
/liliDeploying AI and LLM-driven workflows where they genuinely change how a business operates.
/liliHolding your own in front of senior client stakeholders: scoping, pushing back, setting honest expectations.
/liliHelping establish the delivery standards and ways of working for a team that's about to multiply in size.
/li /ulpbr/ppWhat we're looking for /ppstrongEssential /strong /pulliStrong engineering fundamentals, with Python and SQL as a baseline.
/liliHands-on production experience with Palantir Foundry (Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, Ontology, and application layers such as Workshop) /liliGenuine client facing capability, or a clear appetite for it.
This role is not behind a wall.
/liliComfort with ambiguity and a bias towards shipping.
/liliWillingness and eligibility to relocate to Milan permanently.
/liliFluent English.
/li /ulpbr/ppstrongDesirable /strong /pulliEx-Palantir.
This is the profile that fits best, and the bar is set accordingly.
/liliExperience delivering Foundry or AIP within a Palantir partner or consultancy.
/liliThe "consultant who can actually build" combination.
Structured problem-solving alongside real engineering depth.
/li /ulpbr/ppstrongWhy this role /strong /pulliFounding-team influence over how an entire delivery practice is built, not maintenance of someone else's.
/liliDirect client and founder access, with short feedback loops and visible impact.
/liliSmall teams, high standards, deliberately not scaling into a body shop.
