Team

Platypus is a small practice. Anjor leads the firm; day-to-day delivery and interviewing are led by a team of senior, Palantir-trained Forward Deployed Engineers.

Anjor Kanekar

Founder

Anjor spent 7 years at Palantir as a Forward Deployed Engineer and hiring manager, conducting 1,000+ technical interviews and training hundreds of interviewers. He ran FDE hiring for commercial and UK businesses, building the systems that identified exceptional engineers at scale.

He holds a PhD in Computational Physics from the University of Maryland and remains an active researcher — recently completing a validated study on AI-assisted physics simulation development.

Delivery Team

Our framework engagements are delivered by a small team of senior ex-Palantir Forward Deployed Engineers, calibrated to the same interviewing and operating standards as the founder. They lead working sessions, run interviews, and own day-to-day delivery alongside Anjor.

Interview Bench

For Interviewing-as-a-Service engagements, we work with a bench of senior engineers trained in Palantir-style interviewing. All bench members have 5+ years of technical interviewing experience and are calibrated to our standards.
