Palantir Technologies Info Session
Monday, January 30th 6pm - 7pm
Tatham Centre 2218
Dinner provided by Pepi's Pizza
iPad Raffle!
Please join Software Engineers Jonathan Lee (UW BMath 2004) and Ari Gesher
as they discuss how Palantir technologies is revolutionizing the analysis of
hard and important problems that face our world today, show off a live demo
of Palantir's software, and talk about the opportunities we have available
around the Globe.
If you haven't heard of Palantir, we build a platform for integrating,
visualizing, and analyzing the world's information. Our two products,
Palantir Government and Palantir Finance, represent a whole new category of
software that fundamentally change the way data analysis problems are
approached. Our platforms seamlessly integrate disparate sources of data
into a single coherent data model. In the end-user realm, our analysis tools
sit atop the data platforms, delivering unheard of access, ease-of-use, and
security to experts - humans who know a lot about a specific real-world
problem but little of data systems. Both platforms are deployed around the
world in several areas including the intelligence, defense, and law
enforcement communities, and is currently in use at some of the world's
leading hedge funds and financial institutions.
We're always looking for motivated, talented people to help us in our
mission <http://palantir.com/mission> : making the world a better place -
helping our users solve their hardest, most pressing problems. To learn more
about Palantir, how we work, what we do, and what it's like to work with us,
