About 10x Partners
We are a high-impact consultancy specialising in Palantir Foundry and AIP. Founded by ex-Palantir engineers and elite consultants, we deliver rapid, high-value solutions to our clients through deep technical expertise and real business impact.
Our mission: solve the world's biggest challenges with the best data & AI operating systems. Our method travels across platforms: model the business as an ontology, then make it operational. We are growing our Databricks practice, and we are hiring senior engineers to build it with us.
The role
We are hiring a driven and ambitious Senior Forward Deployed Engineer with deep Databricks experience to deliver strategic client projects. You'll work directly with the founders and take end-to-end ownership of the workstreams you run.
You will:
* Build end-to-end workflows from data integration to decision tools using Databricks (Unity Catalog, Lakeflow pipelines, Delta lakehouse, and the semantic layer on top)
* Work directly with client stakeholders of all levels (CxOs, operations leads, data teams) to uncover opportunities and deliver business value
* Own the technical design of your workstream, from first workshop to production and handover
* Run your part of the delivery rhythm: sprints, demos, UAT with named user groups. You commit to dates, and you hit them
* Ship production-grade pipelines, data models and apps that clients actually use
* Shape our engineering culture, delivery model, and our growing Databricks practice
You bring
* Extensive hands-on Databricks experience: Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Spark / PySpark, Lakeflow pipelines and jobs, Databricks SQL. Databricks Apps, Asset Bundles and Mosaic AI are a plus
* Strong software engineering background (Python, Spark, TypeScript)
* Solid understanding of data modelling, ontologies, and operational workflows
* Proven ownership: you have carried a Databricks workstream from first workshop to production on a client delivery
* Consulting mindset: able to speak business and tech with every stakeholder type
* Startup energy: proactive, independent, high-output with attention to quality
* A plus: optimization or scheduling exposure, and industrial domain experience
* A plus: Palantir Foundry knowledge
Ownership matters more than years: one platform carried from first workshop through production and hypercare, with you accountable throughout, beats a decade of handovers. You can run your workstream with clients without close supervision. We're looking for a founder mindset: proactive, fast, and fully accountable.
Location
Remote-first, with optional team gatherings in Switzerland and at client sites.

* Elsewhere in the EU: top of your local market, meaning the same package adjusted to local purchasing power, not the Swiss figure. Still a top-1% offer for your country
* Relocation to Switzerland is on the table for the right person
