Palantir Hiring Forward Deployed Engineer Intern

About the Role

Palantir builds the world's leading software for data-driven decisions and operations. Our platforms empower partners to develop lifesaving drugs, forecast supply chain disruptions, locate missing children, and more.

Forward Deployed Engineering is a radical commitment to the outcome. As an FDE, you'll be at the intersection of world-changing problems and impactful technology, shaping solutions where they matter most. From hospital beds to factory floors, you'll embed yourself in the customer's reality until the problem is yours. You'll use your technical expertise, creativity, and problem-solving skills to drive real-world impact.

What We Value

• Going where you're needed most: Embed where and when it matters. Expect 25-50% travel, depending on team and location.
• Agency: You learn continuously, make decisions with incomplete information, and don't wait to be told what to do next.
• Embracing the ambiguity: You operate effectively in teams that mix technical and non-technical people, in environments where objectives shift, users push back, and solutions demand iteration.
• Intrinsic motivations: You solve hard technical problems (data structures, storage systems, cloud infrastructure, front-end frameworks) because that's what it takes to achieve your outcomes.
• Ruthless goal orientation: You don't operate within a product's existing boundaries. You push past them, rewrite them, or discard them entirely.

What We Require

• Engineering degree, preferably in Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Software Engineering, Physics, or Data Science.
• Proficiency with one or more programming languages, such as Python, Java, C++, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar.
• Must be graduating in December 2027 or Spring 2028.

Core Responsibilities

You will work in small, high-trust teams and own projects end-to-end, from the first conversation with a customer to shipping the product that changes how they operate. As an intern, you will be entrusted with responsibility on day 1. You will not be handed a ticket queue or shielded from the customer, the chaos, or the consequences. Responsibilities include:

• Collaborate with engineers to make architecture and design decisions.
• Wrestle with data at a scale that breaks assumptions and demands invention.
• Build custom applications, LLM workflows, and production solutions engineered for a specific customer's reality.
• Own relationships with stakeholders, from users in the weeds to executives making the calls.

To Apply

• An updated resume/CV in PDF format.
• Thoughtful responses to our application questions.
