FDE embeds experienced Petrabytes engineers directly inside your delivery organization. They attend your planning sessions, write code in your repos, and solve problems in real time — then leave your team stronger than they found it.
Some programs are too complex, too fast-moving, or too strategic for a scoped project. You don't need a vendor who delivers a thing and leaves. You need engineers who understand your architecture, your constraints, and your org — because they're in it, every day, for months.
That's what FDE is. Palantir invented the model. We brought it to enterprise data and AI.
Not a status call with a vendor. A standup with a teammate who knows what shipped yesterday and what's blocked today.
A SCADA connector is dropping records during peak load. Your FDE debugs it live, fixes the buffer config, adds a monitoring alert.
You're evaluating two approaches for MCP integration. Your FDE has done this three times before — they walk through the trade-offs and recommend the pattern that scales.
New RBAC rules for the AI search index. Your FDE writes the policy, tests it against edge cases, deploys it. Your security team reviews and approves.
30 minutes teaching your junior engineer how the lineage tracking works. Not a training webinar — a whiteboard session based on the code they just shipped together.
Your FDE drafts technical specs for next sprint's stories, estimates complexity, flags dependencies. Ready for tomorrow's planning session.
Design and scale enterprise data platforms. They've built PIEScale environments and know where every configuration breaks under load.
Pipelines, integrations, migrations, OSDU. They've moved petabytes of legacy data without losing a record — or a weekend.
MCP servers, domain agents, enterprise search, RAG pipelines. They build AI that works on governed enterprise data, not demo datasets.
AWS, Azure, GCP, hybrid. Infrastructure automation, security hardening, cost optimization. They've seen your cloud bill and know where the waste is.
SCADA, historians, SAP, operational systems. They bridge the gap between IT infrastructure and the plant floor.
Petroleum engineering, process operations, industrial systems. They speak your engineers' language — not just your IT team's.
Technical bottlenecks disappear when experienced engineers make decisions in real time instead of waiting for a vendor response.
Every sprint includes pairing, code review, and architecture discussions. Your junior engineers become seniors faster.
An FDE engineer who's built this platform five times knows which approaches fail at scale — before you invest three months in them.
Add senior engineering capacity in weeks, not months. Scale up or down as the program evolves. No headcount paperwork.
The explicit goal is to make your team not need us anymore. FDE is a ramp, not a dependency.
FDE engineers know PIEScale inside out. Your team gets both the platform and the engineer who built it.
If you have a clear scope, a fixed timeline, and a team ready to take ownership at the end — that's Engineering Services. Scoped projects, lean teams, production-ready deliverables.
Tell us what you're building, what's stuck, and what your team needs. We'll match the right FDE engineers and have a plan within a week.
