We are looking for a Back End Engineer to join a long-term contract opportunity in Texas. In this role, you will create reliable backend systems and data processing solutions that support analytics and engineering initiatives while helping shape scalable platform architecture. You will work closely with technical and cross-functional partners to turn complex requirements into maintainable services, with a strong focus on cloud deployment, performance, and code quality.

Responsibilities:

• Create and deliver backend services, APIs, and data workflows that support analytics and broader engineering operations.
• Guide technical decisions for backend compute architecture, including the assessment and implementation of Palantir Foundry Compute Modules and container-based cloud platforms such as Fargate.
• Develop, package, and support backend applications and microservices using Docker, emphasizing readable, testable, and maintainable code.
• Partner with data, product, and engineering stakeholders to convert business and mission needs into efficient technical solutions.
• Set up and improve CI/CD processes, automated releases, and monitoring practices across cloud and platform environments.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation, system design artifacts, and interface specifications to support development and operations.
• Contribute to Agile delivery activities such as sprint planning, daily team syncs, backlog refinement, and solution demonstrations.
• Investigate and resolve application issues, integration challenges, and system performance concerns with minimal supervision.
