About The Role Palantir Year Internship

Palantir builds the world's leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. By bringing the right data to the people who need it, our platforms empower our partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

The Role

Build software and deliver customer outcomes. 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. Every incentive we have points toward putting our best people in the highest-leverage positions, as fast as possible. You'll have the rare opportunity to gain deep insight into and directly influence some of the world's most critical industries and institutions. By building on Palantir's powerful platforms leveraging integrated cutting‑edge AI, you'll help organizations unlock the full potential of their data to make smarter, faster decisions.

Core Responsibilities you have two internship role options.

Forward Deployed Software Engineer:

At Palantir, the Forward Deployed Software Engineer (FDSE) role isn't just a job title: it's the blueprint. We pioneered this unique position, embedding talented engineers directly with our customers to tackle their most pressing challenges head‑on. As an FDSE, you'll be at the intersection of world-changing problems and impactful technology, shaping solutions where they matter most. FDSEs 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. Whether it's "How do we predict and mitigate wildfire risks to optimize power grids?" or "How can we analyze and adapt a global food supply chain to deliver life‑saving aid on time?", you'll use your technical expertise, creativity, and problem‑solving skills to drive real‑world impact. As an FDSE Intern, you'll experience the autonomy of a startup, with the resources, mentorship, and stability of an established tech company. FDSE Interns are treated as full members of the engineering team, entrusted with significant freedom and ownership over meaningful projects. Your contributions will have a direct impact on our customers' missions and the real world. You'll work in small, agile teams and own the end‑to‑end execution and implementation of high‑stakes projects.

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. You'll create features used by research scientists, aerospace engineers, intelligence analysts, and economic forecasters, in countries around the world. Palantir’s Product Development organization is made up of small teams of Software Engineers, each focusing on a specific aspect of a product. For example, you might join a team that builds a Foundry front‑end application, or a component of the Gotham release infrastructure. We encourage communication and collaboration among teams to share context, skills, and experience, so you'll learn about many different aspects of each product.
