We are seeking a Senior Front-End Engineer to join a data platform team supporting a major utility’s wildfire mitigation and compliance reporting systems. The platform is built on Palantir Foundry and provides trusted, auditable data for internal reporting and regulatory submissions (OEIS / WMP). It includes a React-based frontend hosted within Foundry, where users explore, validate, and extract compliance data. This role focuses on building data-driven user interfaces that integrate tightly with Foundry datasets and ontology objects, enabling scalable, audit-ready workflows.
Job Responsibilities:
In this role, you will manage and support a variety of projects within the Data Platform / Engineering department. Key responsibilities include:
- Building and maintaining React + TypeScript applications integrated into the Foundry platform
- Integrating frontend applications with the Foundry Ontology to deliver audit-ready, data-driven user experiences
- Designing compliance-focused interfaces that support auditability, traceability, and data transparency
- Building validation and submission workflows for regulatory reporting data
- Collaborating with data engineers, product managers, PMO stakeholders, and SME teams in an agile environment
Essential Job Duties and Job Functions:
- Develop reusable UI components for data exploration (filters, drill-downs), data validation, and data extraction and submission flows
- Integrate with the Palantir Foundry Ontology via SDK/APIs and consume structured datasets
- Keep UI components aligned with evolving data schemas
- Collaborate with backend engineers to define and enforce data contracts and interfaces
- Ensure frontend outputs align with regulatory reporting requirements (OEIS, WMP)
- Minimize business logic in the UI and rely on validated backend datasets
- Build user flows for file upload and schema validation, with real-time validation feedback (pass/fail messaging and detailed logs)
- Support structured, scalable validation frameworks for compliance data
- Participate in agile ceremonies, including planning, backlog refinement, and delivery cycles
Knowledge and Skills:
- Strong experience with React in enterprise applications
- Proficiency in TypeScript
- Experience building data-driven UI applications with API-integrated frontends
- Solid understanding of data modeling concepts (schemas, structured datasets)
- Understanding of performance considerations for large datasets in the UI
- Preferred: experience with Palantir Foundry or similar data platforms
- Preferred: experience integrating frontends with SDKs/APIs for structured data access, and with ontology-based or metadata-driven systems
- Preferred: experience with data validation or quality frameworks
- Preferred: experience with internal enterprise tools or platforms
Experience:
- Senior-level front-end engineering experience building enterprise React applications
- Preferred: exposure to compliance, audit, or regulated environments
