Palantir Tech is hiring for just about every position in the company (we're growing fast). The most YC-relevant positions are probably software engineers -- most of what we do is in Java (with a bit of Groovy glue). Most jobs are at our Palo Alto, CA hq.

My favorite perk is probably 4v4 Halo3 after dinner on the two HD projectors in the game room.
