Software Engineer, Internship

A World-Changing Company

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.

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.

As a Software Engineer, you are involved throughout the product lifecycle—from idea generation, design, and prototyping to execution and shipping while also being paired with a mentor dedicated to your growth and success. You’ll collaborate closely with technical and non-technical counterparts to understand our customers’ problems and build products that tackle them. One of the most effective ways to understand what our users need is to meet them.

You may receive an opportunity to tour the assembly line at an auto‑manufacturer or join a counter‑terror analyst at their desk to really understand their mission and difficulties.
