Description

A World-Changing Opportunity

We're looking for exceptional students who are willing to do work that matters. You'll have the rare opportunity to gain deep insight into and directly influence some of the world's most critical industries and institutions.

The Role

As a Palantir intern, you'll work on real problems: helping customers deploy AI-powered solutions, building the software platforms of the future, and transforming how organizations operate. You'll be held to the same performance standards as any Palantir engineer, and your career progression will be based purely on merit and impact.

Core Responsibilities

You have two internship role options:

Forward Deployed Software Engineer

As an FDSE, you'll be at the intersection of world-changing problems and impactful technology, shaping solutions where they matter most. You'll work side by side with our customers, rapidly understanding their toughest issues; architecting and building solutions that leverage business-critical data and the latest advancements in AI to solve them.

Software Engineer

Software Engineers at Palantir build software at scale to transform how organizations around the world use data. As a Software Engineer Intern, you'll have an opportunity to grow more quickly than you ever envisioned, as you contribute high-quality code directly to Palantir Gotham, Palantir Foundry, or Palantir Apollo: products that are deployed at some of the most important institutions across the public and private sectors.

  • For all other roles: An active U.S. security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one, is a plus but not required

What We Require

  • Pursuing or received a degree in Engineering, preferably in Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, or Data Science
  • Proficiency with one or more programming languages, such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar
  • Hands-on experience applying AI (whether through coursework, personal projects, internships, or relevant extracurricular activities)
