## Description

As a Software Engineer Intern on Sovereign AI Infrastructure, you will help build systems that make AI agents useful, reliable, and governable in high-stakes operational environments.

This is not a research-only internship. You'll own a project with hands-on mentorship from experienced engineers, contributing to the systems that make production AI useful and trustworthy.

Core Responsibilities:

- Build production software that improves how Palantir deploys, operates, evaluates, or monitors AI systems in customer-controlled environments.

- Contribute to infrastructure for agentic workflows, including tool use, context assembly, permissions, execution safety, observability, and debugging.

- Design and implement services, APIs, test harnesses, evaluation pipelines, or developer tools that make AI systems easier to operate.

- Work with engineers, product teams, and customer-facing teams to understand real operational problems and turn them into durable software.

- Debug issues across services, deployment systems, logs, configuration, permissions, and product behaviour.

- Write clear, maintainable code and participate in code review with a high bar for quality.

- Communicate your design decisions, tradeoffs, and results clearly to teammates.

What We Value:

- Strong coding fundamentals and the ability to learn new languages and systems quickly.

- Curiosity about how AI systems work in production, especially agentic systems that use tools, retrieve context, and interact with real workflows.

- Clear written and verbal communication.

- Grit & Ownership mindset: you care about getting the details right and seeing your work through.

- Ability to collaborate with people across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams.

- Active US Security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain a US Security clearance, is beneficial but not required.

What We Require:

- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, or a similar technical field.

- Demonstrated interest in AI systems, agentic applications.

- Experience coding in programming languages such as Java, Python, C++, Go, Rust, JavaScript, or similar.

- Familiarity with data structures, algorithms, systems programming, backend services, cloud infrastructure, or distributed systems.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills.

- Ability to work full-time for the duration of the internship.
