Washington, D.C. Hybrid Employment

Palantir Technologies is hiring an Information Security Engineer - Endpoint

Responsibilities

  • Own the security posture of Palantir's Windows and Active Directory estate — hardening, configuration standards, and ongoing validation that those standards hold
  • Reduce attack surface across AD: audit and remediate misconfigurations, legacy protocol exposure, excessive privilege, Kerberos delegation abuse, and tier model violations
  • Evaluate, deploy, and own the configuration of defensive tooling across the Windows environment: EDR, PAM, identity threat detection, and endpoint hardening controls
  • Build and maintain automation for security operations across Windows infrastructure — patching pipelines, configuration drift monitoring, access reviews, and credential hygiene
  • Partner with Identity and Infrastructure teams to drive architectural improvements: tiered administration, Protected Users, LAPS, Credential Guard, and authentication policy silos
  • Translate findings from assessments and red team exercises into durable fixes — configuration changes, architectural improvements, and policy updates that reduce recurrence

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on security experience, with the majority focused on Windows environments and Active Directory
  • Proficiency in Python or PowerShell for detection development, automation, and forensic tooling
  • Active TS/SCI security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one
  • A portfolio of real work: detections you've written, research you've published, tools you've built, or incidents you've led

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Entra ID (Azure AD), hybrid identity architectures, and cloud-based attack paths that pivot through on-prem AD
  • Prior work in adversary simulation, red teaming, or offensive security research — especially against AD targets
  • Public contributions: conference talks (BlueHat, BSides, SANS, etc.), blog posts, or open-source tooling

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees and eligible dependents
  • Voluntary life insurance
  • Employees are automatically covered by Palantir’s basic life, AD&D and disability insurance
  • Commuter benefits
  • Take what you need paid time off, not accrual based
  • 2 weeks paid time off built into the end of each year (subject to team and business needs)
  • 10 paid holidays throughout the calendar year
  • Supportive leave of absence program including time off for military service and medical events
  • Paid leave for new parents and subsidized back-up care for all parents
  • Fertility and family building benefits including but not limited to adoption, surrogacy, and preservation
